Restored to like new != original new (to the kind of person who would pay $100k)

just start visiting dealerships on your days off, you’ll no doubt find one soon enough....

The extra $60K us because it is all original.  Your build while it would probably end up pretty much just as nice, simply doesn’t have the provenance.  And that matters to some people.  It matters $60K worth.

Subtext: Your children are monsters, you’re going to want a backseat that is as far away as possible.

So what? Not all Nazis gassed Jews, but they were all still Nazis. Anyone who stayed in the Republican party is complicit.

I’m not sure what you are seeing but it looks perfectly normal to me. And you can see the dust and dirt in the “rooster tail” falling to earth at normal speed.  My verdict is not sped up.  YMMV.

Your motorcycle garage looks pretty inconvenient.  Isn’t the bus floor a long way off the ground?   And I assume there is no way to get your bikes through the existing rear door.

nope -- speed running in the desert is pretty much its thing.

Aye aye!

They should have built the artist’s version!

Yup. We see it every year here in snow country. Every single year the first real snowfall ends with a bumper crop of morons (usually in Jeeps or the like) in the ditch because they forgot how to drive in the snow.

“There is no way to enforce a mask mandate short of having state patrol remove a duly-elected representative from the floor, which is not something he is willing to do, for masks or for jeans,” a representative said in the statement. “Rep.

I dunno, maybe you could ask Al Franken about that.

Not to excuse this turd, but given his occupation, I’m guessing he has also suffered traumatic brain injury.  Maybe people purposefully bashing themselves together isn’t the greatest idea ever.

And you can register these in America??

Maybe the cost could be reduced by using less tubes per mile. I don’t see any reason why the road needs to be 140 degrees in winter. I should think just a bit above freezing should be adequate.

I still have my bought-new ‘87 Turbo Coupe. This one has some obvious modifications including the dumb ass rear spoiler and wrong wheels and tires (it came with Z-rated Goodyear Eagles). The 190hp was likely an under advertisement as the car was capable of 145mph as delivered and 155mph with a simple mod to allow…

Hard to believe that Iowa was as high as 24th on strictness of DUI laws when we have a double-DUI Governor.

It’s only a burden on the poor because most of the US puts the burden of actually needing a car on the poor in the first place because of terrible mass transit.

It’s a giant cash haul for insurance companies. About 20 years ago I was on the local school board and huge annual insurance increases were killing us (and I mean literally putting us in danger of the state taking over the district). So, we decided to self-insure. Once we did, I think there wasn’t a premium increase…
