DMC-12, with hover conversion, obviously...

Memory seat/wheel/mirror option is very handy for those of us married to a spouse of different height.

BMW M5, not bad, not bad at all!

Lexus LS. Toyota went to battle against the Euro Lux market, and came out a proven warrior.

Rockwell has had some really good refurb deals on eBay lately - just this week I picked up a SS5120 kit w/ 107 bonus accessories for $40 shipped (accessories alone worth more than that)

For general DIY around the house, a reciprocating saw is invaluable and needs to be added to make your list complete. You can cut anything in a pinch - from pipes, boards, tree limbs, etc. The ability to cut through most materials, including nails, is why you shouldn't start any remodeling project without one in your…

The Mini 0801 has a tiny screen, but is a fairly small/discrete camera. Hides fairly well behind the rearview mirror and is a good bang for the buck (just make sure to buy a reputable version like Ojocam).

Before buying you should have already determined if an interference engine or not, and whether timing belt is due for a change. If due, or unknown, then changing the timing belt on an interference motor should probably be top of the list of things to do...

Toyota knows a thing or two about luxury thanks to its Lexus division

Memphis can be a scary place...

To each their own; I've lived in DC metro, and loved the culture, but hated the costs, traffic, and crime. Additionally, I've lived on the West coast, and the story is the same. I'll let you keep your Louisiana reference point, but it is far from reality if you are comparing to OK & TX. While NOLA used to be a fun…

"to live where I do (DC), but the resources (employment opportunities, culture) far outweigh that on balance."

Dunno about that, but it would add 150% to the cost

Speaking of quality, a lot of those original LS are still on the road, requiring minimal maintenance and simple repairs. In comparison, their German peers are bankrupting their owners by this time...

The longtime standard according to various automotive sources, reliability = Lexus LS430. Below is link for a low mileage LS430, without air suspension (only possible "weak link" in the LS), and appears to be a retiree-owned, unmolested (un-stanced/VIP) car. With typical servicing (can be reasonably done at Toyota),…

188th/Flying Razorbacks! Unfortunately, A-10s left Fort Smith back in April 2014...

Well, he never done this before. But seeing as it's special circumstances and all, he says I can knock a hundred dollars off that Trucoat!

Yup. I've got an older, yet great condition Ford Expedition 4WD with 168K miles. Everything works perfectly; zero rust and damage, runs great (albeit between gas stations). Only worth ~$2500 though, which, by perusing the CL, you can't hardly get a decent car with working a/c for. Nevertheless, the miles on the big…

One for sale on CL:

Weeden-Bryant-Randle-Bailey, all they need to do is put Blackmon in rehab and ready for the team. I think this combo will surprise a few people; Weeden's past performance was marred by the overall suck that plays for Cleveland.
