    Speechless. 

    Have you looked at how well the Universal Health Care thing is working out in other countries with Covid? Not really helping things a lot.

    I’m one of those guys who don’t believe it’s a sports car unless the roof goes down. The main reason I went for the FC. When I got the first one, I took the torn old top off and it took me a year to get around to putting the new one on. 

    No, thanks. Already got a TR8. Rather go unconventional with the 7.

    Some years ago, I spotted an RX7 Convertible for sale. The chassis and body had about 300,000 miles on them, the interior was beat to hell and the roof was torn to shit, but the engine had been rebuilt and it ran like a scalded cat. I used that car as a daily driver for years, making several trips from Florida to

    I remember back when they extended unemployment benefits out to a full year. I happened to be caught up in that situation, and all I can say is that it went pretty smoothly and allowed me to hold on until I was able to retire at 62.

    Down here in the Tampa area all of the dealers are advertising that they will bring the car to your house. The biggest problem that I see with this is what happens to the test drive? Sometimes you get into a new car, and just hate the damn thing, for whatever reason.

    MX 5's are nice, but I’ll stick with my RX 7 FC.

    I recently gave away a perfectly restorable MGB. I even had all of the parts needed to do the restoration (fenders, door, windshield, etc.). But, I am now 71 years old and it occurred to me that there is only so many more days of wrenching left to me, and so it was time for something to go.

    Not really how it works. Fines could lead to liens on the property and difficulties when it comes time to sell the house.

    Comparing Hershey to Columbia is like comparing Cadillacs to Yugos.  

    I don’t know where you get this. It’s been a while since I bought a new car, but the interest offered was .8%. If I remember, it was supposed to go to Pennsylvania residents only, and I lived in Maryland, but I told them I would walk if they didn’t give me the deal.

    I was afraid this was happening when she took that long vacation. I opened Jalopnik every day, and after looking at NP/CP, looked for her article. Not there. Was she gone? No, Suddenly, she was back and everything seemed cool again.

    Looks like a pretty nice Airbnb, but what the hell is growing out of the top of that lamp?


    Seriously? I though Patina was all the rage these days, and this truck has it in spades. With all of the mechanical work done, I truly think that this truck would rock at the Saturday Night Cruise In (if we ever get to have them again).

    Something about radio bezels. When I was taking my daughter a 2005 GC, I stopped for gas in Lincoln, NE. I only left the car for a second, but when I returned, someone had stolen the bezel surrounding the radio.

    Totally off subject, here, but yesterday I was going through my normal morning routine on the computer, came to Jalopnik and immediately went for NP/CP. It wasn’t there!!!

    The last couple of cars I have bought have been “just hand me the keys and I’ll see you in a bit”. May sound strange, but after all they have my car sitting there as hostage, so what’s the problem? I do the same thing if I am selling a car.

    Didn’t mean it to be sad. Just that at 65 it seemed that stuff started to happen to slow me down.

    Agreed. I was around when the first ones hit the road, an they did not really turn me on. Too boxy or something. Give me a Corvette!!!!!
