The piece says Riley Reid. 

Oh sure. John K abused his employees for YEARS, but no one felt like they could speak up about it publicly because he was John F-ing K.

Everything’s die hard fans are toxic (Star Wars, the comic universes, etc). The rest of us normals shouldn’t always have to apologize or qualify liking something.

Christ, Justin, all you had to do was not be an asshole.

well he was right, the voice acting did safeguard his job for many years and if he wasn’t abusive it’s clear he would still be coasting on this for at least another decade.

I was a reluctant NP until the salvage title thing.  ND.

I was going to be NP... then I noticed the bypassed smog pump and no catalytic converters.

By the way, I believe that the Fox Body Mustang and its SN95 offspring are the only ones in the model’s history to wear the Ford Blue Oval badge. All prior versions used the FORD block letter badge and every one since (including the electric five-door Mustang-in-name-only) has used Mustang badging solely.

Thanks for reminding everyone once again that you are a garbage human being on top of being a garbage writer. The Taylor Swift take is aggressively fucking stupid and obnoxious. So, pretty much par for the course for you.

ND.

I was all in until it started to “pile up.”

I’m surprised this is even NPOND entry. I love old Volvos, but this is a wreck. For $1,500, sure. Maybe $2K to account for market madness.

Me looking at the front exterior: “Aw yeah!”

These are cool becasue if anything, they are different. This particular one doesn’t strike me as a 14k car. Maybe about half that, given its rarity (although I feel like I see these fairly often at car shows). It runs, but there are no gauges so its not like you can drive this while working on it. Running gear appears…

A lot of the parts needed to restore it have to be impossible to find, right? I think being that it drives, it would be fun to tinker on and fix some of the issues while you use it but I can’t imagine it’s a good candidate for a restoration unless you had a parts car. So it’s a cool/unique/interesting hot rod to drive…

This "resto-mod" is lacking in resto.

Totally needs the Electric Mayhem paint package.

I’m leaning towards NP because it is an uncommon and interesting car that moves under its own power, but I have no idea what it will be worth after you’ve poured thousands of dollars into completing it. I’d love to see what someone with the time and money to bring it up to snuff could do with it though!

Hybrids are a compromise, with all the mechanical complexity of an ICE car and all the weight of an EV. It’s a testament to Toyota’s engineering prowess that they made them work as well as they have, but a few decades from now they’ll be mostly a footnote in the history of cars.

I love how people say things like “there are still the dirty parts about EV’s no one wants to talk about” when literally every article and comment thread about EVs is chock full of misinformation about how batteries can’t be recycled (they can), or how lithium and rare earth mining is uniquely harmful (it isn’t), or…
