If your car is registered in California and you want to put an aftermarket exhaust on it, or it already has one, you’re going to want to make sure it has an Executive Order (EO) number.

Oh good. I don’t know your father, but I suspect he would be happy at the thought of his ride on road being enjoyed by his son, regardless of what you choose to do with it. Once it’s yours, it is up to you what happens to it; no one else. So do whatever you want and, if necessary, let the haters hate: they probably…

Those Desmond wheels also barely clear the brakes, and those spokes are pretty thin (on the transverse axis to the wheels) to do so. Those Odyssey 18's may be lighter than the 20's, but they also probably won’t clear the brakes. In fact, few cast wheels will. Most any 18 wheel will need smaller spokes and will…

I meant no offense, nor would I presume to tell you want to do with your car. I simply wanted to offer up a possible misstep in logic I saw.

I don’t think you know what the word “barter” means.

Maybe they thought they could live with it and then realized how ridiculous it actually is to try and park without power steering.

I feel you, but I Also think that:

I’ve never seen a single Craigslist car that wasn’t either A) overpriced or B) unbuyable, usually through a missing pink slip.

Don’t forget the factory authorized 150 point inspection and certified pre-owned warranty.

Do it to a Nova. Don’t mess with a Cougar. The Nova would be epic, but the Cougar would be ruined.

Currently, I just have the daily drivers for my wife and I, so it would probably be different if I was dealing with an enthusiast vehicle or something like that.

Have you seen the prices of ‘70 Novas? Maybe you can get a bargain on a 4 holer, but the damn 2 door prices are nuts.

I’ve been wanting to do this to a Nova for some time. They’re rapidly losing their affordability though.

Once had a joker offer me less than wholesale for a car and kept referring back to manheim auction values, to which my response was “Well, you should probably go to one of those auctions and go buy a car.”

I had two others ask me to take it to their mechanic 20-30 minutes away (yeah, no). I really wondered what these people were expecting from a $500 car.

My responses to those buyers in those kinds of sales is “It’s a running car... for less than your iPhone.”

I live in LA and I can’t entirely agree with your take.

I’d insist on the smog.

At the same time, you should go in aware of the red flags
