3M 1080 series vinyl wrap and a weekend. No booth needed

I have spent a lot of time recently browsing their website. There is an 8 year old S550 that has caught my eye.

Parts, that is the reason my adjuster has told me. New cars have cheap and easy parts. Old car parts are hard to find and can be much more expensive because of this. That also leads to a higher likelihood of your old car being totaled by the insurer.

Doug, today is Monday. What is going on here?

Not based on the license plate. That doesn't tell you who was driving the car.

I don't trust the cops.

Don't you cycle out fake plates on your cars in your videos?

Will it baby? How heavily do you expect it to depreciate when the ND arrives?

I'd definitely count the nut allergy story as well. Being chastised for trying to prevent a medical emergency is stupid.

Giving flight attendants any bit of power was a mistake. "You aren't following my incompetent instructions and failed logic?" "I will have you removed from the plane and whatever consequences that comes with it!" How about you shut up and let me inform people of my son's allergy so we don't have a medical emergency.…

And if it is a rotary engine. Prepare to donate to the swear jar.

Thanks for the response. That's an interesting point about warming up the crowd. I'm curious if that is the cause or just a correlation. I'd think in general people are less busy and happier as the weekend nears and that may be a cause as well. I think its smart to choose Monday as the off day for this reason. I also…

Doug, Is there a reason that you have scheduled your two car columns together? Why not use the non car column on a Wednesday so we can get our car-Doug fix on both sides of the hump? Also, have you considered opening Letters to Doug up to general topics as well? It works for Drew Magery on Deadspin, but the Jalopnik…

If you are going to put the effort into a trip to DC then you have to go all the way and do it during a green peace rally or something. We know from the PT column that you enjoy a good trolling now and again. A H1 at a environmental rally would be gold.

That's a very good point. Now I'm hoping you take it to Manhattan for a night, just to find out.

I'm most curious about how the public will interact with you when you are with the Hummer. How many more rallies centered around "Don't tread on me" will you be invited to than normal? How many Prius owners will polish their passive aggressive repertoire on you? How man jokes about the size of your genitals will there…

the S2000, a car that held the title of most horsepower per liter for years until it was beaten by a quarter-million dollar Ferrari.

I had to do a similar move recently. It's not because of the bike. It's because of the car behind you.

Seems like this is one of those issues where everyone knows which way the tide is going. We just have to wait to see how stubborn the opposition can be in the mean time.

Both strategies have their positives. You have more working capital now. I have less debt over me in the event of a job loss or other major life event. Depends on your situation and risk aversion.
