No comments on the rest of the cars in this guy’s lot? A Mazdaphile such as this person sounds like the right person to buy this car from, although it is disconcerting to think that even he found this too hard to restore...

If I am gonna have a collectors’ car it is most certainly going to be something unusual. Another ‘64 Mustang or MGB is just pointless.

Yahoo Japan will get you much of what’s needed. 

The rear wiper on my Honda Today is like six inches long... I have four replacements waiting in a drawer.

But this here is $30K flipping burgers plus $14K committing crazy amounts of crime. I guess they could have tried for better careers instead.

Well, the legal underpinnings for exempting cars from FMVSS would be hard to maintain if there was no FMVSS. That said, you did just pinpoint why there is no chance of global standards replacing US-specific ones.

At least the Middle School is finally reverting the snooze-inducing levels of wokeness.

Hello! It’s called skin color! Soon you will be demanding extra shades of Crayolas, too.

It probably wouldn’t cover Law School (or Graduate School and so on) anyways, which is why I am paying as if the debt forgiveness conversation wasn’t even happening.

I would have thought the Republicans smart enough to allow the Democrats to push through the filibuster changes: they will mainly benefit Republicans, even if the Democrats manage to pass one or two bills before the midterms. I hope they don’t read this.

I don’t know, a majority of my acquaintances in NYC still put their “safe choice” first on their ranked choice ballots even after I had explained how it works.

That’s how you make a meme. Well, it has to be shared, too.

I’ve loved the Trekka for a long time, but this is the first time I have heard of Vietnamese and Pakistani license production. That is simply mind boggling. I would love to have a Pakistani-assembled, Kiwi-designed, Czech-engineered quasi offroader.

Seconded, although that may cause certain security issues at airports. It may already be unofficial policy for all we know.

Since they shut down Splinter, we have to get little Splinters everywhere. I actually enjoy it.

This is very satisfying to read -although I have learned to be wary when someone is confirming my prejudices.

Borgward was also on a very tight budget towards the end there. I was wondering why the car looks de-chromed as the P100 was their absolute top-of-the-line model, and then I realized that this is the decontented, Mexican-built Borgward 230. A fascinating vehicle and story. The brochure is actually from 1967.

I liked having it on my previous car, and then a sensor went bad. I chose to replace it with a regular vent and in the next few months I had to replace two more stems. I am glad I didn’t keep it functional, because then I would have been on the hook and thus I saved $240 for a negligible loss in functionality on a $2K…

A bunch of people are going to come after your maths, buddy. You could have invested that $75 and by 2033 you could buy a brand new
Chrysler 300 (because it will still be around)!!! Also, $75 is still $75, even though it is baked in with a larger purchase.

Maths are hard.
