I was thinking BMW was inspired by the 1976 Grand Prix

Is five-grand the new two-grand? Besides being simultaneously dull and goofy looking, this thing is over 20 years old.  No dice unless they drop the price another thousand.

“Good...use you’re aggressive feelings...let the hate flow through you.”

Don’t hate the player, hate the game. This article is calling the PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) a loan program, but it was really a grant program as long as certain conditions were met. “Borrowers qualify for loan forgiveness if they use at…

Not my favorite color and I’d rather not have a vinyl top, but it’s in great shape, so nice price from me.  I’ve seen a lot worse for $7500.

I voted no dice, but it’s close.  

“What was the “take my jacket off and throw it on the car’s roof...only to return and retrieve it shortly thereafter“ part for?”

I think he was getting ready for a fight in case someone came at him. Notice how he also pushed up his sleeves.

That only works for people that have a desire to learn.  You can lead a horse to water...

That’s the risk you take when siphoning...

It’s sitting on a trailer in most of those photos. 

You asked for it, you got it.

“Anyone have experience with the no power steering? I’m sure it’s fine at speed (maybe even better!) but what’s it like navigating a parking lot?”

On a small, light car like a Miata it’s no problem at all, when your moving, even at slow speeds. If stopped and turning your wheels, a little more effort is required. Note…

And later, “Donald Healey took on the roll of Jensen’s director.”

“The bike looks pretty good for its age and reasonably substantial 16,700-mile odo reading.”
— It’s 15 years old, I don’t think 1100 miles a year is “substantial”.

“Any astute buyer would likely want to look at the tires’ date code since the bike could easily be on its original meats.”
— Not likely, not many motorcycle…

When this car was new the national speed limit in the US was 55 mph

They probably could have done this effect in software (just have it give the appearance of rotating) and it would be a lot less expensive and more reliable.   I understand that’s not the point of a Bentley, but still.

“...you’d just wish they had given the story a second look-over.”

I think you meant to say “... given the store a second look-over.”

I’d be onboard at that price if it was running.  But ND due to too many unknown problems.

“ $8.59/gallon” (pump shows price as $8.59.9 / gal).

This was one of my father’s pet peeves — someone would say “The Sav-A-Lot in town has gas for 39 cents a gallon”. And he would say “no, it’s 39 and 9/1oth cents a gallon.” And he was right. You may as well say 40 cents.  Or in the case of this article, $8.60/gallon.

“That shows the car’s factory MSRP as $22,626, which seems like a stupid good value considering just how much car that bought back then.”

That seems cheap by today’s standards, but the base Thunderbird LX model was about $16,000 in 1991, so buyers had to pay a lot more for an SC. Understandably, the LX outsold the SC…

Don’t blame Texas, there are idiots everywhere.
