Unfortunately that seems to be a pretty popular scam.  Around here they do that with roofing projects.  

Yep. If you can’t even bother to list the mileage or any other details, I’m not even giving them a ring. 

No, there were many seasons.  Somehow I missed the self-dealing card table. That is interesting. Tell me more. You must be an expert by now. 

Or buying a car that doesn’t suck. 

The Geo Metro XFi was initially rated at 53 mpg in the city and 58 mpg on the highway using regular gasoline. The EPA later changed their testing and downgraded the car to 43 mpg in the city and 52 mpg on the highway. However, some Metro enthusiasts have reported gas mileage as high as 75 mpg.

Still waiting on my fun fact...

Some car brands should die
That’s just unconscious knowledge

I have a really hard time believing this was done for $10,000 or less.  Money is expensive.

I will. Thanks.

Yes!

This is about 30 minutes from me.  I’ll check it out for you for a fee. 

I checked out the ad! This car is a piece of crap! The seller thinks he has something rare, and wants a premium price for it, but this car is worth $1000! Nobody wants this! Exclamation points don’t make a boring, old, dirty, poorly maintained, slow car exciting! Crack pipe!

I just looked on crotchfield and there aren’t any available.  If it were so easy as putting an adaptor in there, I’d have done it years ago. 

The one thing that really needs to be addressed before all else in aftermarket head units is the ability to interface with the steering wheel controls.  How goddamn hard could it be to do this?  My wife’s car has a double-din radio.  I have a really nice double-din touchscreen clarion that has a dvd player, RDS, USB…

I know that if you get your car and you don’t like it you can send it back, but this seems like such a hassle.  You have to buy a car, have it shipped to you, and if you don’t like it, arrange to have it returned and negate the sale?  Ugh. I just want to go look at the car and sit in it.  I guess if I already knew…

No thanks.  I don’t want to have to explain my vehicle to people. 

I remember back in the early 90's my uncle had a total piece of crap Datsun and the ignition switch failed.  Instead of replacing it he wired in a toggle switch and a doorbell button.  Yes, you had to “ring the door” to start the car.

Yeah, if this is what he feels bad about, I don’t even want to think about how I should feel about stuff I probably wrote when I was a teen.  

Sometimes things are out of your control. I didn’t get my license and first car until I was 17. My family couldn’t afford to buy me a car, and I had to buy it myself. But I had subscriptions to Hot Rod, Muscle Car Review, Car Craft, etc. I was wrenching on Sprint cars before I was ten. I would build at least one very…
