I don’t think that there IS a transmission fluid dipstick on a manual transmission. There certainly isn’t on any of the stickshifts I’ve had.

Same here, actually. REALLY solid salesperson who happened to be a woman.

I’m in to say that I bet you looked killer rocking the heart-shaped shades when the facemask on your helmet popped up.

“Now can we source some mid-90's clearcoat from Nissan while we’re at it?”

No wonder my blocking sucked when we played Lunar Vocational Tech!

Mucho Macho es muy malo, maricoñ.

Agreed; you shouldn’t be driving.

Here’s hoping someone’s dashcam caught the impact.

Agree 100%. Hell, when I played defensive tackle on my high-school’s JV football team (at 6'2", 240) the 5'10, 160 pound fullback would literally bounce off of me on blocking plays and if he got a good lick in I’d take a half-step to the side, and that’s not even a 2x mass difference.

And then we learn that a semitrailer can drag TWO passenger cars at highway speeds!

*Shire Cross, not Shyer Cross.

Well that changes everything!

It’s super cool, but... man, $15,000 for 80 horsepower and a really stodgy chassis just doesn’t do it for me as an actual ride.

The only right answer here is ‘dirty car.’

THANKS, YA GOOCH.

It is pretty cool, but hardtails are a hard ‘No’ from me AND my battered ass.

I just sold a near-perfect 2002 LeMond Alpe D’Huez for $350; it’s every bit as nice as this, in better condition, and prettier too.

We still have the ‘holdover’ 2001 Grand Marquis that I bought in 2011 with 17,000 miles on it (I hate it) and the ‘holdover’ Nissan XE-V6 King-Kab that I inherited from my father some years ago (it’s too small for the three of us to ride in) and am hoping to sell both if and when my reservation for an F-150 Lightning…

I have a friend who does death penalty appellate work in Oklahoma. Based on the cases he tells me about, Mr. Shilling best be both well-behaved and very careful if he actually trades Nebraska’s ‘Midwestern Nice’ for Oklahoma’s ‘Bloodier than Texas’ mindset.
