just posted above: Dad had an 84 Quantum, that car was sweeeeet. Ive often though about going down the VW road, but then I remember all the issues he had.

My Dad had this problem with a Quantum we purchased and owned in the 80's. Sad to know things havent changed much with the dealers. I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for VW’s, that Quantum, when right, was a fun car, but I remember the 6 weeks of slogging back and forth to the dealer when the clutch went (until…

My Dad had an ‘89 Ranger as a work truck. I was often stuck riding in the middle seat while on trips with Dad and Mom or Dad and one of his co-workers. My knees still hurt from getting bashed. But man was that thing fun to drive. Easy way to learn stick too (it was my second stick verhicle trainer, after an 82 Chevy…

Exactly what I was thinking. With a front clip from a Lincoln LS

Pretty sure in Sudanese Luol means “I be like”

As someone born in 1977, I find it truly amazing that those of us born in the mid-late 70's are functional. God knows what our parents were doing, yet somehow, we turned out ok

I am not an expert, I have no real information, but my half cocked, wild assed internet theory is these are “work” trucks and Mao had workers wear blue uniforms so the trucks are painted to match the workers

counterpoint: its not the game winning drive if you get strip-sacked

B, C and you forgot “think that they are better people than us, literally, they think as humans, they are somehow better humans, some kind of superior composition of carbon molecules”

I remember when I was a kid and my Dad filling out Paperwork about his exposure to Agent Orange. One of the few times he actually talked about his time overseas. That was some nasty stuff.

ok, with the whole near/far thing, was anyone else thinking of Grover?

And now you can get one in good shape with a not exorbitant amount of miles for 25k. Whats not to love about that?

LET THIS BE A LESSON TO YOU YOUNGER JALOPS...DONT EVER GET MARRIED

Thats pretty much how it is for 90% of America. If you’re not in a Mentropolitan area (city/suburbia) then its real red, real quick. Ohio is the same way. It’s blue around Cleveland/Cbus/Cinti but 30 miles out of town its all truck nutz and cammo hats

Its not that she crashes, its that no crash has ever been her fault. Also, on multiple occasions, she put her hands on other drivers in a fit of anger, seemingly taking advantage of her gender whenever it suits her. She just seems like an insolent brat to me, her being female isn’t really part of the equation.

A friend of mine got one about 18 mos ago, a ‘95 with 178k on the clock. He let me borrow it for a couple months while I was between cars, and I begged him to let me buy it off of him, and offered to pay him $500 more than he paid (He paid $2250), but he wouldnt let it go. That car was friggin’ amazing, even at 20 yrs…

UPDATE: Danica has already crashed her car, and blamed everyone withing 100 yards for the incident. She then physically assaulted another driver on pit row, but thats ok

Yesterday a Cobra replica went off with a brand new Coyote engine, a 9" rear end, coil overs etc etc for 60k. I dont know you could buy all the parts for 60 k, and you’d still be looking at a lot of time or money to finish the assembly
