Unless the frame has completely returned to it’s constituent atoms, David, I can’t see you being interested in the Jeepster.

I’ll take it. Put it on pontoons and make it the ultimate party barge on Clator Lake.

I voted :

Nope. If anything above a million deserves confiscatory tax laws, then why the hell should anyone do anything that earns them more than a million dollars? Bezos made something that people use - Amazon. His having managed to get $163 billion in cash, property, stocks and stuff for his efforts is what encourages people…

I remember shopping these when they were new—especially the Vista variant. I’d love to gut the back half and drop in the complete power train package from a GM 3800 vehicle. Stealth street drag FTW.

Why don’t you buy it, David? Not enough rust?

As an old pro when it comes to carburetor cleaning, may I recommend “Berkebile 2+2 Gum Cutter”? This stuff will strip dirt, corrosion and lung tissue like no other potion I’ve ever encountered.

When I started my career at GM I drove a clapped out Ford Grenada. I used to get shit from management about it. One day I finally said, “I know it’s a piece of crap, but you don’t pay me enough to buy any GM product. At my current salary, I can’t qualify to buy a Chevette, even with the Plan A discount.”

My nephew works as a firefighter in Alaska. There’s nothing glamorous about Smoke Jumpers. It’s brutal, back-breaking work with little in the way of fancy equipment.

As much as I really like cars: working on them, driving them, appreciating their form and function, at the end of the day, they are appliances that serve a purpose.

Back in 1989 or 1990 my wife, my 2 year old daughter and I were driving from NJ to western PA on I-80. The perpetual road construction had narrowed us down to 1 lane defined by concrete barriers. Within that one lane constriction, an 18-wheeler had manage to crush a car. rescue vehicles had to come backward down the…

Good weekend project car. Something that might have been featured on Wheeler Dealers. Buy it and call Edd China.

I’ve kinda always wanted one, but they command stupid amounts of money. This one is even worse. I actually watched a little bit of my soul float away.

Where are the pedestrians in the video?

My Mom had a Toyota Corona. The silver paint peeled off regularly, even after repaints. I remember at least three valve jobs and one transmission.

“Previous attempts at having the road’s 40 mph speed limit lowered have failed.” That’s right-knucklehead street racers are going 80mph in a 40mph zone, so lets lower the speed limit. That’ll sure stop ‘em!

Might we hope for a part-time drag strip?

For all its faults, this car is on my holy grail list. 2008 Magnum SRT-8. Based on my health and finances, it’s never going to happen.

My preferred sanding music is “Push It” by Salt ‘n Peppa.
