If you can’t figure out what the safety implications of not being able to see over the hood are, that’s your defect, not ours.

Yep.  I’d still buy this and sell the hard top. I really don’t like them. But the hardtop will sell fast.

Assuming it’s a factory hardtop, I was thinking you could sell the top, use the cash to address the issues, and maybe have some cash left over.

Saw the picture, and said “as long as it actually comes with the hard top in the picture, I’d go $6500" (I hate when sellers say “If you want it as pictured, it’ll be $2k more than I listed it for)

I don’t know if it was the right time, but they made the right compact pickup for Europe decades ago:

Two people (presumably without kids) making even ok money in rural NM can afford a shared car that costs well less than the average new car price. Plus they have the Impreza as a trade in likely. 

I’ve had luck with putting a stack of those neodymium magnets on the ratchet-side of an extension, and using that extension & socket to unbolt the plug. Bit of a poor-man’s approach and may not work as well, but hey it’s less one-use tool to buy.

“We need to be honest about something: Jaguar does seem to know what it wants to do.”

I suggest a restored JDM nugget.

nah, thats just to highlight which door to open when you’re on the quest involving that car

I’ve always used flashers any time I was forced to travel dramatically below the speed limit on the highway (mechanical issue, running out of gas, thick fog, heavy rain) and it seemed that other cars were still moving at higher speeds. That seemed like a good way to indicate slow-moving travel to other cars that…

It’s really not hard to follow. The incident on video was about a seatbelt, but throughout the whole flight the flight attendant was trying to get a different passenger in the same row to put their mask on.

How much would it cost to redo the interior properly?

Here’s a nifty trick for you. Take that SAME fluid transfer pump, put a Swisher Sweet cigar in one end of, it and hook the other hose to a vacuum port on your car.

Hello, you just made a dirt cheap smoke tester to find your EVAP leak, vacuum leak, or intake manifold gasket failure leak. Just pull the air intake hose…

I wrote a snarky reply insinuating you were a shill for either big oil or the cult of Elon (I can’t remember now), but alas, it was deemed too harsh.

They are German (in name), so at least use a Knipex!

Who’s ready for Baku with a nut splitter and Vice Grips?

I would watch the hell out of this show.

There are no such things as coincidences when it comes to electrical system problems.

My wager is a two-fold one: firstly, that a power surge blew out the lights. Secondly, the fuse in that circuit is not the original and is rated for too high of a amp draw.

If the fuse kept burning out on the previous owner, I could…

Taking a small step into reality (the USPS mail van has a 20.8 mile daily mail route at 13.8 mph*), the Ford Transit EV, Mercedes Sprinter EV, and the Rivian RPV soundly trounce any of the semi-finalists. And don’t forget the Arrival van, being tested by the U.K. post office and UPS:
