Towing company does illegal, unethical shit, that is news?

Lack of power accessories isn’t a bad thing on an older car, but I suspect the four pot will keep interest and price down. Guess you could swap in a new engine and transmission, but I would want to pick it up for less if I was going to do all that work.

I agree with most of what you said, but I don’t think going the direction of asking deep personal questions about addiction or the status of your relationship or whatever is going to help matters at all, would make it worse if celebs felt they were going to be hit up with hard or embarrassing questions about their…

The holes may or may not get smaller, but I think there has been enough “embiggening” of vehicles the last couple decades that it is pretty easy to assign fault.

Sort of goes without saying (0r at least we have reached the point where saying it is getting redundant). 5-7 years ago this was a $3000-3,500 car, combination of rising tides lifting all boats and the water cooled Porsches starting to get more love these days you see prices like this.

For me it was the Honda S2000, if you look at the essence of the 2000s as what is was rather than what was to follow this is a good answer. Mazda came out with the Miata a decade earlier, and it sold and sold. Everybody had to come out with their own small, relatively modestly priced sports car and we suddenly had a…

Sorry the weak Bond movie association doesn’t get me to a premium on a car that isn’t that desirable in the first place, also coral paint always looks faded red to me. Triple no dice, I am out.

Yeah, I have borrowed my brother in law’s truck late model F150, forgot how high I was off the ground when I got out and nearly broke an ankle. I do not enjoy driving a big vehicle like that for a wide variety of reasons, I am sure some of it is what you are used to, but having borrowed full size trucks for several…

I drove a 325is a couple summers ago. If you want a smallish rear wheel drive sporty car, but want to be a little more upright than you would be in a Porsche or Miata this is a really nice package. The Bauer conversion is a nice conversation starter compared to the more common (and currently less valuable than a…

And I see articles all over the place describing the new Maverick as a “tiny” truck. I know I may be in denial, but I refuse to accept the huge size, especially height, of new full sized trucks as “normal”, they are bloated, see also articles on pedestrian deaths being up, there are consequences to this beyond just…

So coupled with rare you usually need a few other things to establish a decent market value beyond basic used transportation.

I had never heard the term before, but was expecting “chick car”. I think there was a time not that long ago that sororities had quotas they needed to meet regarding percentage of sisters who drove a square VW convertible.

Agree 100%. Because crash test data can be quantified a lot easier I don’t think it will ever go away. But in trying to make vehicles safer for people inside, they have gotten more dangerous for people outside.

I think I agree, but I really haven't taken a deep dive into Zimmerology.

As a fan of smaller cars I love the fact that this thing looks very much like is based on a 2 door American luxo-barge, huge on the outside, not so big on the inside, but probably looks pretty small and tidy up close and personal.  I would love to see one in the flesh, but no way would I buy it, whatever goodness was…

So this is an NA 2.0 liter Esprit, last I checked they didn’t bring this kind of money all put together, but I am sure I am behind the times, anyway, no dice.

17 seconds and Manwich are both right. I am old enough to remember, these were considered pretty crappy cars when new, and they are objectively even more crappy by modern standards, but that makes them pretty unique and very different to drive than a modern vehicle. You will immediately notice that there appear to be…

Thanks, that is a much more meaningful explanation than was provided in the Jalop article.

I am scared to google it

I need a lot more data on this one. If the self driving car identified the dog 75 feet down the road while traveling at 25 mph that is quite different than the dog jumped off the curb and stepped into the vehicles path 20 feet in front while going 50 mph. If the accident was reasonably avoidable by a human driver then…
