Is there a way I can make money on all the Prince of Darkness, warm beer, looks great on a tow truck, etc. comments from people who want to argue after I note that I have 300k MGB - bought in 1993 - which has never had one electrical problem, other than when I replaced the fuel pump with a Mitsubishi unit?

That interior does look fantastic, though. Almost got me to hit the NP.

The first car I ever bought, back when we bought cars based on 40 words in a printed newspaper, and it ruined me for average cars ever since. It’s been a very long time, and I still remember the first time I caught this view as the garage door came open. As I think back along the list of cars that are no longer mine,…

I voted NP for the person who wants a British sporty car.

I have loved the trimotor ever since I learned about it as a child (though I’ll admit the 247 is a significantly more handsome aircraft). Thanks for writing about it!

He seems to have a boat, they’re basically all the same. https://whitemarlinopen.com/registered-boat/2024-tournament/special-situation

I have to admit I kind of like the looks of the thing, but being an old I can't wrap my head around spending more than the price of my first house on a rapidly depreciating asset with considerable maintenance and repair cost in the near future (after end of warranty of course) no dice for me.  

You make it sound like the truck driver himself is at fault. Seems to me like that would only be the case if A) he owned the trailer and B) he didn’t properly maintain it. I imagine he’s an employee of the transport company.

What is completely wrong about your Trump statement there is that he is no way able to speak that coherently anymore.

....that made me literally laugh out loud.....i needed that, its been a shitty work day at the end of a shitty work week, and a week where i pulled a back muscle in the gym at 630am on monday so just a banger of a week.

You are entitled to your opinion about the Fox being the worst Mustang.....even though you are dead fucking wrong. 

Imagine you have $120k to blow on a car. And instead of buying a Range Rover, X7, Escalade, GLS or QX80 you say “yep, I’ll buy a tuna can on wheels”.

“I bought the cheapest 2011 BMW Alpina B7 in the country”

Im gonna miss Buttigieg in that transport secretary role. Guy is just ludicrously sharp.

Had one, bought it for $900 with 240k miles on it. My friend and I used to frequent this junkyard. When we saw a newly junked 240, we went to pick out the usual useful parts, like relays and shit like that. To our surprise, it was decked out with full IPD suspension, bushings, sway bars, adjustable cam gear, and…

This is a farm truck. If I was looking for something to use on my property I’d get an actual tractor or a much less expensive truck that’s probably in much better shape. It is neat though, just not $13,500 neat.

Rationally, this is ND, all day. It is objectively a bad vehicle that needs a lot of work.

This makes me sad on so many levels. She is a beautiful thing. A work of art with equally lovely engineering. She is doomed because she was a combination passenger liner as well as a easily converted troop ship if needed. Part of the requirements was to make her as flame-proof as possible. Keep in mind the SS Normandy…

I can smell the inside of this thing from Sacramento.

Jimmy Carter was so right, and we basically ignored him until long after he was out of office.
