Not wearing a seat belt is like a self-nomination for a Darwin award. You and your family are the only ones that will deal with the consequences.

Good driver training too. We don’t have that. Most states don’t even have car safety inspections. 

The US has 300% more vehicle deaths per capita than Germany. How does Germany do that? Not with any of that BS you wrote about. They have strict licensing requirements and good transit infrastructure.

You probably just bummed out a lot of people who were watching this and wince every time another person shares it. 

This goes to show how personal any automotive experience really is. The journalists disliked this car from the get and they were bombed for various reasons by all. Yet here is a person who I respect, especially with a wrench, digging it from the jump. I have been driving since 1962 and have enjoyed some cars that were…

No doubt the coolest car to wear a Saturn badge. Shame GM, as usual, half-assed it, even if in the end it and it’s siblings are decent sportscars. They could have been SO much better if GM had been willing to spend a little more money on them.

you got a sky redline in pretty damn good shape for under 9k??? that was a damn good find. def gotta do the gm tune.  if they still offer it the price was reasonable for the power boost. 

Congrats on the new ride.  I’ve always liked the Sky styling better than the Solstice, and on top of that you nabbed a Redline.

Matrix over the Corolla.  

I’ve recommended Vibes to two friends on a budget, and they’ve both been great. Toyota Reliability at used GM prices. (at least before the pandemic, not sure how they are doing now)

Toyota Matrix / Corolla or a Fit. 

I call that Kohl’s pricing.

This is the same pricing model that JC Penney and such have used for decades. Fantasy “Retail Price” fantasy discount to whatever the “Sale Price” is.

4th gen F-body. For $15K you could have a V8 6-speed and enough money for the few suspension mods needed to make it a fun track/auto-x car.

Step 1: Define fun.

Fun? I’d say a 99-02 LS1 M6 F-body.

Then they should have their hazards on. They do not. Ergo, they probably weren't speeding for a good/legitimate reason.

It’s the most wonderful shade of vague.

They clear coated the primer. 

A somewhat related story. My buddy, who’s a state trooper, once saw a truck go flying by with emergency lights on (volunteer fire dept.). He radioed into the station to find out what the emergency was since he wasn’t aware of a call. When he found out there was nothing, he pulled the truck over, only to find the…
