Piffle, 10 years is nothing. Our “new” car is nine years old and our “real” car is 14 years old. And the car I actually like to drive is 20 years old. And the one I look best in is 5o years old.

You know that’s tax fraud, right?

I am super happy that BMW too now has a fake plastic doodad for the greenhouse.

That was my question too... though I was going to post something pithy like “did it come from the factory with mismatched paint?”

Oh god a carbureted (obviously) iron (apparently) SBC. Nope nope nope.

I suppose I’m still in the grays, but here goes - why not put the jackstand on something other than the body seam? It’s crushed to smithereens. Those are jackpoints only when using the stock jack or something similar with a cutout for the flange.

Nice price, I actually looked for a change (instead of reflex-voting), and FXT’s are going for 10K.  You want a unicorn with a five speed (yes of course) then this is a nice price.  Sell the rimpz if that’s not your thing and recoup some of the dough.

I’m sure the dealer financing contract is very specific that the lender has to be advised when a vehicle is sold and the floorplan on that vehicle paid off within a specified time.

But they didn’t pay back the loans. And they got caught.

Unpainted doorjambs make it look like a cheap fiberglass kitcar.

Sounds like you don’t know how money laundering works.  Defrauding your supplier isn’t a common phase.

Someday in the (hopefully) not-to-distant future, we’ll all look back on the shameful days when display screens bore zero design harmony with the rest of the dash.

Neutral - five minutes each way.  Maybe as bad as seven at the worst.  It’s nice.

Has anyone called you out for generalizing Bel Air yet? I recognize you need some short of shorthand, and “1955-57 Chevrolet sedan and wagon series” is a mouthful... but while pillorying an icon, a little explanation might be in order.

He couldn’t have kept it in for another paltry 2mph?

So instead of making people who turn left stop, everyone stops?

Great post, Jason. I’m normally a prose sorta guy, but watched the video for the noise of it.
