Same. As much as I love the concept of owning this car, the truth is we are talking about 28-year-old car, made in a foreign country, with driveline modifications of unknown quality, and a big hole in the bed.

Thanks for the knowledge.  

What exactly is a ‘licensed’ mechanic? Is this some kind of Canadian thing? Or do they really mean something like the ASE certification?

That’s awesome. Truthfully my 20 and 17-year-olds would do that if I could find a big enough laundry basket.

Dude, all I ever find on NextDoor is paranoid people threatening to call the cops, real estate agents wanting me to sell my house, and security tips from the local police.

Charles B. Pierce made another movie called ’The Town that Dreaded Sundown’ about the Phantom Killer that stalked Texarkana Texas/Arkansas in 1946. I grew up in the area and remember people talking about both the Phantom and the Fouke Monster, which Boggy Creek is based on.

This is the statement. Ultimately his team designed something that was not useful because they failed one of the first requirements of any kind of engineering: Find out what the customer needs.

I am a Ranger fan (on my second one now) so I really enjoyed this. Strong Work. Two questions:

NP, because every car in existence you should have rear window louvers.

+1. I live in the DFW Metroplex and I completely support this statement.

If you weren’t around then or don’t remember the McMartin case and others of the time it’s worth going and doing some reading. Sitting here some of the things that were accepted at the time are so absolutely ludicrous but I distinctly remember the panic that this caused. The McMartin case wasn’t the only one, either.

This isn’t that new. There’s been a whole ‘Luft 46' group in modeling for years that made models of what the Luftwaffe might have flown if the war went longer and they hadn’t been bombed into submission.  

Agree fully. While the appropriate temperature for a burger is an interesting discussion to have, as a former fast-food worker my opinion of you is more about how you treat me as a person than whether I agree with your food choices.

When I was in college there was a persistent rumor that someone found some boxes with meat labeled ‘Grade D but Edible’ behind the cafeteria, which served pretty good food.

It wasn’t Caballero’s fault they lost 3-0. Bad play by Argentina and Croatia stepped up.

Yep. You either got good at it or you become a hood ornament.

NP before I even read the article. I learned to drive a manual transmission on a similar VW Rabbit diesel. It only had one speed, all the way to the floor. You just waited until the engine made a certain noise, shifted to the next gear, then pushed the gas pedal all the way down again. It was awesome.

Way before the WWE/WWF came around I was watching Mid-South Championship Wrestling from Shreveport. These were the guys I grew up on:

As for buying a car with other people’s gaseous intestinal output still lingering in the seats, I heard a radio commercial here in Dallas-Fort Worth for a place that uses ozone to clean car interiors. Or you can do it yourself if you rent an ozone generator.
