I could never fall in love with the SEC's styling, hard as I try.*

Don't.

What's your point? If there's any one "family owned" business that can shove it, it's car dealerships. Corporate oversight means fewer shady operations and a lot more internal policing in terms of where and how money is generated. Dealerships are owned by some of the slimiest people on the planet, at least Buffet has…

I don't know if I agree with their 6-10 year figure. 10 years on any tire is a long, long time for any tire. I'm guessing that applies to special cases. 6 years seems like a good rule of thumb.

It's more important for the rear wheels, generally, as the front suspension is balanced for the weight of the engine, driver, passenger, etc. at a relatively normal tire PSI. In the rear, if you're loading up the trunk and rear seats with more than 300lbs of stuff, you should inflate the tires around 15% (varies by…

People also forget that miles != age. There is such a huge difference in what age will do to a car versus what miles will do.

That must have been one hell of a price to decide to take this on for a flip. These cars are turds, and they command turd prices, even in good shape. I've never understood the appeal of the 3000GT.

It's also better than eBay for items that would be annoying / expensive to ship. I just make people come to a spot near where I live to pick up their stuff. I always say cash only, and if I won't negotiate, I explicitly say so in the listing.

Large items are really difficult to sell on CL, a lot of times old furniture ends up in the free section because it's not even worth the cost or effort of moving it. If you want to get rid of old furniture and keep a buck or two to yourself, take it to Goodwill and get a receipt. Enter the fair market value (eg, what…

Listed at 10, I'd say they'd probably take 7 without flinching. Used dealers do this all the time - detail out a low-mileage car and then mark it up to insanity to see what the market can bear. I'm guessing they'll find a buyer at 5-6K without a whole lot of trouble.

Forget the W126, go W124. Cheaper, lower mileage cars are there - they're faster, nearly as comfortable, and a hell of lot better on gas.

THIS TITLE IS SERIOUSLY AFFECTING ME

I think he's got it set to Prius Mode.

If you live in West LA, they're not as uncommon as you might think. I've seen probably a half dozen in the 5 years I've lived here.

Lamborghini Countach.

Beta is right - there's over a 100 point discrepancy between my score on this and CreditKarma and it definitely isn't picking up all of my history.

I guess they are, I stand corrected.

Agreed. This is like calling a katana deadlier than an axe because the higher velocity and a sharper blade gives a cleaner, faster, deeper cut. At the end of the day, the axe is still the better weapon for dismemberment / killing blows because the necessary momentum is easier to achieve. The katana is fine and dandy…

I'm guessing Jalopnik doesn't get many F Type owners. They're too busy ducking out of dinner bills.

Not enough for it to matter, no. I once was in Beijing for about 60 hours and madly sleep-deprived and jet-lagged.
