Just a wandering stranger, with a truck and a ridiculous Chinese old-man’s microcar, not looking for trouble, but somehow always finding it.”

So are you David Carradine’s Kwai Chang Kaine wandering the American West or are you The Hulk? Either way I’m all for it!

Yep. I remember when E30s were pocket change. I also owned a 240z back when they were a $2k car. This Civic is the last of the cars built under the lingering influence of Soichiro Honda, before the bean counters and cost cutters made Honda just-another-car-co. It’s a sublime car, just like the last Integra and just

And this is why I grit my teeth when reading the comments: someone (you) actually thinks a ‘99 Civic SiR in fantastic condition with a fresh engine should sell for ~$3000. This is the hottest market ever for used cars and this model has become one of the most desired among those looking for investments that pay a big

Nevertheless, he’d be a cinch to get the GOP nomination for state office.

I feel like a sucker, in the midst of my country unravelling with a two-bit orange sociopath about to steal an election while people literally die in the hundreds of thousands of a pandemic, replying to a four year stale thread regarding a question of no importance whatsoever.

The guys who got degrees in Psychology were no better. Two provisional “friends” of mine who did are also prone to weird dramas on which they blame others and are also devout gay Christians or seemingly progressive Trump supporters.

Is the BBS for JALOP NIK still online? I need the phone number, the baud rate, is it half or full duplex, termination character, parity bit even or odd so I can connect with my state of the art Hazeltine 1500 terminal.

When I saw that radio cabinet posted in the Faceballs Pao group I let out a shrill and impossibly high pitched squeal of delight - and MUST have one. Esp. now that I’ve installed Martin Schram’s bluetooth kit into my headunit.  

“We only get snippets of the car—a bit of door card here, a fender badge there. It all makes me feel like we’re being forced to look at the car through an empty toilet paper tube.”

I miss my Prelude 4WS. If ever I was mind-numbingly rich I’d still rather rock a mint condition vintage Prelude than something fit for douchey Russian oligarchs or their American counterparts.

This is the most overt and unambiguous example of systemic racism possible. Bookmark this and make your Boomer parents watch it when they say everything’s equal in America because it damn well isn’t.

I worked for FEMA for 11 years and was in NOLA a week after Katrina hit. I saw the Blackwater mercenaries and the

I care. It’s very likely that access to their trove of WWII documents was predicated upon there being actual living Continental officers or highly placed shareholders who were culpable for abetting Nazis. 

If entirely intended to be snark, ok. I’ve read way too many mean-spirited anti-bicycle posts in auto blog discussions and now have ptsd.

I thought flying under bridges had already been deregulated by the Trump administration? 

Man oh man do I have a Wire album for you:

Any C4 that’s a ZR-1 or Grand Sport will do great in ROI. Any C4 that’s a Callaway or other tuner will do very well. Any C4 that’s ‘88 or later with the ZF 6-speed manual will do well. Any C4 convertible will do okay. All other C4's will eke out marginal gains.
