Beat to shit high-mileage Bronco and even in today’s alternate reality of car prices, that price is a reach. Seller is hoping to find a sucker who hears “Bronco” and reaches for his checkbook.

$6500 for a clapped-out, half way rotted old truck with a mediocre aftermarket top.

The vacant lots east and west were employee parking. There was also a few support buildings in the southern part of the west lot, like a car wash and a fueling station. This image does not include the (former) shop space to the north of the building, where were test labs and prototype vehicle shops in its later days.…

What sucks is that so many formerly wonderful buildings like these meet their demise because people decide to go in and vandalize the shit out of them. I’ve watched so many urban exploration videos where some building has been abandoned for maybe only a year or so and is already utterly trashed.

 Its a real shame.…

I think we should all chip in and buy this property for David Tracy to store his Jeep collection and start a museum.

I mean, there’s lots of stupidity in this story, but if the engine failed and a storm kicked up, what exactly were they supposed to do? Probably shouldn’t have panicked and swam to shore, but all in all, I don’t think it’s totally fair to blame the employees in this case. Could have happened to someone more experienced…

Swam for 12 hours after his helicopter crashed.

My boss at my new job here in arkansas used to live in grand lake, colorado, which is right next to granby. I asked him if he was there when the killdozer happened.

“I never really got around to finishing the job I started” isn’t what I want to hear when I’m contemplating buying someone else’s project. What’s the number one rule in used car buying?

Killdozer he is not.

Amazon Germany still has stock (I’m in Europe), maybe there’s a container full of them on the Ever Given?.

As the son of a first responder... great article. Make sure you’ve got a seatbelt cutter/glass hammer in the car. There are combo devices that have both (mine actually came from my father’s fire department).

But he didn’t buy from the dealership, remember? He bought it privately from the literal conman that worked there. There’s not a universe where I trust a guy willing to sell his private car like that.

That assumes the dealership ever had the $10K. My spidey-sense is that bankrupt fraudster owed at least that much on it, and used the money for anything but paying it off.

“Freelance salesman” as in “We don’t want to pay employment taxes, so we’re going to 1099 this guy even though he meets the definition of an employee?”

If they are unwilling to do that they could potentially give him a car worth $10,000 and it would also be satisfactory. Perhaps a certain 2016 Mazda CX-5.

And while the dealer is trying to make it right for Fredricks, he’s still out of $10,000 and a car.

Once again the age old lesson bites someone in the ass: No title? No cash transfers hands.

It also is a small subcompact that can, when equipped with the 1.4T motor, be tuned to 200hp and 260lb-ft.  And are pretty easy to fix when you need to.
