The information here is mostly pretty good. If we’re talking domestic vehicles that are more than 10-15 years old. Technical critique and overload incoming...

I was going to comment that it’s fine because it’s science, but, this isn’t Gizmodo either. I mean, abortion itself could literally be described as a lifehack, but that borders too closely on abortion jokes.

Why’s this on lifehacker ... can you send it to jezebel ... I mean thanks, but I came here to read about bluetooth speakers ‘n shit.

so if jail time is worth saving the equivalent of pocket change,

The real crime is that toll roads exist. Get your shit together, Florida.

A felony? Really? What is the fine for driving with no licence plate?

Didn’t they already take care of this one?

for anyone who thought they’d get free power for life, this must seem like a real kick in the family joules.

In what world, that isn’t inside the seller’s mind, is this much more than a rusty hulk? EVERYTHING needs to be fixed. It’s a set of rims with good compression. And 200k miles of abuse. It’s actually worth not a goddamn thing to me.

This car is boy-racer nostalgia gone wild. A 10-year-old WRX will eat an E30 M3 for breakfast in every imaginable way and cost all of $6K. I know, I hate these types of “comparisons” too, but good grief, these E30s are out of control. This is buyer’s remorse just waiting to happen.

Seems like you’re the shitty person.

Agreed. The E39 is still the better car all these years later. The SS was great in concept but the execution was terrible. It was just too cheapy.

Ugh. Fuck aggressive. It’s so early 2000s. Everybody is (or should be) over it. Almost nobody buying a performance 4-door full size sedan was interested in aggressive styling in the first place.

Can’t say I’m sad about it. It was a pretty nice platform that GM seems to have gone out of their way to fumble. Ugly car, cheap interior, zero advertisement. No surprise it didn’t sell.

Offer car people want. Raise price so nobody wants it. Kill car due to lack of demand. Genius.

It suffered from the internet mentality of “I can’t wait to buy one used in 10 years”

The first one’s probably a good thing and we’re heading towards the second anyway.

I’ll take “whatever hardware is in the junk drawer at my parent’s house” for $200, Alex.

That soldering gun is for wires, not circuit boards. Definitely good to know. The right tools to do the right job.

This chart makes a lot of bad generalizations. Soldering Guns are OK, provided you aren’t working with electronics (The gun’s tip has electricity going through it, and it could fry any electronics you are attempting to solder). For non-electronic soldering that has pretty high thermal mass, a soldering gun is a much…
