Could be much more complicated if it was financed out of town. Plus most banks don’t actually hold the physical title anymore. When you pay them off they just send you a lien release and tell you to go have a paper title made. This means a several day lag. At some point though, like Doug says, you just have to trust…

I sold a bike with a payoff once. Luckily, it was financed at a local credit union, so I just had the guy meet me there. He gave me cash, I paid the bike off on the spot, they handed me the title, and were even nice enough to notarized my signature as I signed it over to him. Easy-peasy

Cars on their last legs? Not always. These were all beautiful cars that they ruined for fun.

This actually works, I tried it! A ricer recently pulled up next to me making all sorts of god-awful fart noises while I was in my Challenger. Rather than skid sideways into him or oncoming traffic (what my instinct was to do), I just kept the clutch pedal down and pressed the gas pedal at the same time, which let out…

Sometimes low mileage adds a lot of value, especially in collector cars. Other times, like this one, it just means that the owner didn’t get his money’s worth out of the car, and adds not much to resale. These cars could in the near future become collectible, and maybe even valuable, but today is not that day. CP

Three to four years is just an eternity to wait. That’s one entire trade cycle for most people. So if you want a 3, you should buy a completely different car today that you’ll be ready to trade (do they take trades?) when your new Tesla is ready. People don’t plan that far ahead or wait that long for anything. Most of…

Yep. I am constantly seeing this pop up in my newsfeed and have to inform people that it was clickbait disguised as an April Fools joke.

True, but without the steam I don't think you'd ever build up enough energy to crush that stone. You're operating a many ton machine with the same strategy as a baby walker, it's not going anywhere except maybe down hill.

Holy crap! That is either the best or the most piss-poor suspension ever, I can't decide which.

Exactly, motorcycles do not have blind spots. On a bike, you only have to worry about being in other people’s blind spots. Build me a system that broadcasts my presence to surrounding traffic instead.

First thing that came to my mind. I mean, those two giant rollers have to be incredibly heavy and have unbelievable rolling resistance. With this setup a simple pebble in the way (of which there would have been many since the vehicle predates paved roads) would create an insurmountable obstacle. And from that seating…

I don’t know the history of that vehicle, but at the time it was selling it was located in Germany, so that’s a whole different deal. Assuming that Arnie imported it, the engine and restoration could have been done here. Nothing preventing that. We can still do LS swaps to all our cars here in Merica.

It seems like the intent of that specific wording was to prevent companies from resto-modding old frames and basically selling them as new cars, but exempt from EPA regulations. That is reasonable. But it’s application here is just silly. But still that’s the law, and the wording is very clear. You can’t just expect…

That’s my fear too, that we become so dependent on the tech that we stop being careful or acquiring the skills to know how to properly react. Then, the tech fails because a sensor went out, or it’s covered with ice, or the car is old and busted, or someone just didn’t turn it on. Case in point: Did you see the video…

The exit example is ok if there's, say, construction and the car isn't certain if it's open.

I don’t know who that is, but I’m glad they signed that guy from Mythbusters. He’s hilarious.

I thought for a second that it was going to take on that giant pole at the top of the hill. But no, just more footage of it driving very slowly, followed by some slightly sped-up footage of it driving slowly.

This, and shots of it in the water. I kept waiting for it, but only got shots of it driving very slowly near water.

This! Is it necessary that it be stored in the tightest space possible?

It's so nice, I voted twice.
