Old-fashioned Plain > Sour Cream Glazed
I have my old Honda Rebel rotting away in the back of my garage, I want to start riding again, I should just get it roadworthy. But not now, maybe when my kid has enough attention span to help out (so that it’s a teachable moment or something rather than me taking time away from bigger priorities, like raising a kid).
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a box of Timbits that hasn’t had like one or two sad ones left over that no one wanted, but you expect me to believe there are people fighting over the last one?
My wife doesn’t drive stick, we have a kid who needs shuttled places (or we’d still have just kept our paid-off Mazda2), and the CX-5 is decent enough to drive, big enough for us, and hopefully trouble-free for years (plus, Mazda loyalty got me a better financing rate)

I never followed through to get a proper count, but something like 12 years ago, I went for a walk in my then-fiancee’s neighbourhood, and in less than a square mile found something like two dozen Saabs. No way most of them are left now, but apparently we still have enough demand to keep a singular Saab specialist in…
Doing well is relative - the smart fortwo and Mitsubishi Mirage sold in the low 20k range in a good year, the Honda Fit mostly sold in the 50k range yearly. I think there’s a small market for something like this (about 20k buyers a year), although I think it’d involve putting in a slightly nicer back seat and…
Hell, if you’re the right (wrong?) person, every 1 hour job is probably a 3 hour job. I installed a trailer hitch on my car a month or two back. Brand new car (so not dealing with corrosion or anything stuck yet), had all the tools I needed, had all the parts with the kit laid out neatly, instructions say it’s a 45…
