How much of a sleeper would it be since law enforcement would see it and basically be sitting in the same thing, only in police interceptor trim?

Look up the movie “Bob Roberts” with Tim Robbins.  I think Madison may’ve studied that movie a bit. 

Definitely not a wash for 110,000 fewer miles.

This.  He was coming from (I thought) a government function. Now, if it were a political party function- something on behalf of the state/national GOP as opposed to official state business, all bets are off.  

If you operated it in King of Prussia, PA, in a Prussian military outfit...streams get crossed and the universe ends.

Wasn’t there a Willys truck in Virginia that was a) cheaper and b) in better shape that was a suitable candidate? While this is no doubt a cool ride, if the best thing the seller can say is you don’t have to worry about the column falling through the floor, that’s not saying a lot.  Nevertheless, I’ll be watching the

When I was a kid, my grandmother had me on a trip and ran her (new to her) W126 diesel out of fuel, having not owned a Benz before and being confused by where exactly the “E” was. The process of getting it restarted was something I remember vividly to this day- thank god there was a Samaritan in a W123 diesel who

Wait 6 months and there’ll be a Changli that looks just like it. 

Just when I thought the 6000 SUX from Robocop was just too absurd to ever be a real car, MB goes and makes one.  

I have long coveted having a 200 because I want to be like Robert. Not because I don’t like to wrench (though I’m not wrenching as much these days, do need a project in that regard), but because I want something I can just get into every day and go anywhere that my heart desires and never worry about it not working.

It’s such a huge profit center for F&I to stuff that sort of stuff into a deal. Along with etch, undercoating, etc etc. Many people genuinely need GAP (especially with 72 or 84 month loans), but even if this guy wasn’t putting $10k down, there are still way cheaper GAP plans through your own insurance. I looked at it

David Tracy does his best Jim Garrison with the Zapruder film over the demise of a rust bucket.

Good thing you wore your brown pants that day.  

I was really hoping for something more like a Johnny Cab.

Blues brothers 2020...

Well, we’re already wearing masks outside of cars...just don’t bother to take the N-95 off when you’re behind the wheel. 

The LX takes your breath away for how much they want for how many miles it may have.

After finishing Long Way Up last week and reading this over the weekend, while I was impressed Ewan, Charlie and the gang did the trip with Livewires and Rivians, I thought there was more than a little glossing over of the power situation after their initial troubles with the cold in south Argentina/Chile. Not to

I’m glad the planes are cleaner than ever. The people riding in them, however, are not. I get skeeved out thinking about the video of the woman flipping through the in flight entertainment with her bare feet.

A wahoo and a hokie enjoy time together in Germany? Amazing.
