It’s kinda cool, but that’s a lot of money to drop on it. Maybe I’m missing something, I don’t know the camper market well, but isn’t this a bit high-priced? (Also, where does one sleep? I’m not a small person, and for 28K I want to make sure I’m not forced to sleep in the fetal position for lack of any other option!)

Going off your Username here, it’s like you’re a Canadian Oprah, you get a dick! And you get a dick! And you get a dick!

I wouldn’t excuse the driver, either. He’s a dick. They’re both dicks. Everyone’s a dick.

Here’s their black ice warning, if you’re curious:

I once tried to rent a car from a local discount rental company when my car was in the shop for a transmission issue. This agency was in a strip mall in a somewhat sketchy part of town, but it was the closest rental place to where i was getting my car repaired and it was on the bus line, so I decided to take my…

So mine story isn’t so much about the sketchiness of the rental car, but about the rental agency and particularly the return. In 2006 my wife and I went to San Diego for a week. She had a conference to attend, I went just to goof off. Did some looking around on the internet and got a really good deal on a car for…

So, as fate’s cruel joke, I oversee a government “motor pool”. Someone had the great idea to put the “sportscar guy” on rental patrol. Really, I only “oversee” the operators while being unable to authorize anything since it must be approved by “headquarters” 5 hours away. It is not even 1% of my job but it is the…

ETA: I just looked up the traction-challenged car in Connecticut. It was a Malibu. Most aggressive traction control I have ever seen. At the first sign of wheel slippage it would just back off the throttle and slide slowly sideways in the direction of the pavement crown. My hotel had a steep drive and there was no…

Time Frame: Dec 1997, right before Christmas
Location: Denver, CO
Situation: Need to drive to Seattle to drop off a liked, but I only have a motorcycle as reliable transportation, and there is a HUGE snow storm about to destroy the entire span of the Colorado Rockies.

You got my sloppy seconds! I didn’t “try” to trail that thing - I trailed it. And I trailed the shit out of it.

There is a Buick I would buy.

Counterpoint:

Sadly, that’s probably more likely than a range-topping sedan. Why go through all that work when they can just drop the Corvette Z06 engine into an Escalade, stretch it 20 inches, add another set of doors, and sell it for $200k to oil-rich middle-eastern types?

Look another Cadillac concept car that people like. Too bad it won’t be built. They are going to build a 6 door 6X6 Escalade instead.

Allegedly the fastest car in the world is car referred to as “My Buddy’s Mustang”. I hear about it at every car show but have yet to lay eyes on it.

Was probably a V6 with an exhaust.

45 minutes from down town LA.. Yes, thats the road wrapping up the hill behind..

Reason #911 why I love LA. People here actually drive their vintage cars instead of letting them be garage queens. I daily drive my 1971 BMW 2002 to work whenever the weather is not too hot since the car doesn’t have AC. I drive my FD RX7 when the weather requires AC (yup the AC still works in my 1994 RX7).

So that’s what gets swapped out! Thanks for sharing.

Then the Dauntless/Fireball was developed into a new Buick V6, which was later developed into the undying GM 3800. In these variations, the V6 was shared with every singe north american GM division including cadillac and also Holden.
