A hideous, mangled, ugly unicorn. 

I saw a convertible Nissan Murano the other day, talk about a unicorn.

I’m not sure how many potential new drivers are thinking this, but the idea that the job will be increasingly obsolete in (5? 10?) years may also be putting downward pressure on bringing new drivers into the industry who would otherwise replace older drivers as they age out.

I had interpreted the discussion on squashed comments to be after the shill bid, but that's a fair take as well. If it's documented that BaT removed comments that stated he was intentionally bidding on the auction to prevent a sale and then they let the goading comment stand, that removes much of the negative from…

It seems like he is saying in there that bat was shutting down his comments. Without knowing everything, he appears to allude to that he tried that, and they didn’t let the comment post. Either way, the whole thing reeks.

Gary would have been much better off if his comment had been that he was nuke bidding, rather than something that most would take as goading to bid against him.

This! I don’t what’s up with all these dour ND people today. This POS Escort is the most pure jalop vehicle I’ve seen on here in ages and it deserves to be celebrated.

How do we know its 72K miles?  It’s not the original engine. It could just mean that he has only placed 72K miles after the engine swap or that the old engine had 72K miles.  ND

It’s $3,500.00. If you want a manual wagon, something (subjectively) “cool,” it’s only thirty-five hundred dollars.  For me, this is in the range of cost where it’s cheap enough that if you like it, and it’s isn’t clearly a steaming pile of shit, it’s a NP.

I threw it a NP. For $3500 it’s a manual wagon with 72k miles. If I needed a cheap runabout I’d buy it, which is the bar for $3500.

yeah! like this

If it costs a lot of money, yes

I don’t get it. Are rich people clambering to be uncomfortable, sweaty, and hot in the sand for this much cash? Also, if you’re ‘exploring vast expanses’ where tf does your luggage go? Like, it’s cool, but as with any other racer-turned-road-legal it seems impractical af for the scenarios being described, but I guess…

As the article mentions, each operator can supervise multiple pods.  

Back when I was in college I was failed over something most shops would tell you about as they passed your inspection.

Lol, I wonder if you are in a state where the DMV is quietly run by a private company on contact. THOSE are the worst. Not government employees, private low-bid contractors.

Early 1980s, I find a 1973 BMW 2002 for sale for the astonishing low price of $1900. I’ve been saving up for almost a year to replace the POS Pontiac Ventura I had been driving, and the 2002 seems like the perfect mix of sportiness, practicality and fuel economy that a fresh-from-college individual like myself needs.

Retired electrician here. I’ve seen this happen a few times. I once wired a group of temporary office trailers on a school construction site. The power company shows up and hooks my little trailer village into the smallest pole transformer I had even seen. I ask the lineman what was going on? He tells me that it’s so…

In the early 2000s I worked at a16 pump gas station, and the pumps would run slow when we had a lot of cars. It was enough of a problem that Corporate sent repair guys out several times. Filters got changed, pumps checked, all sort of stuff, with no effect. I have no idea how it was finally discovered, but the problem…

It may just be psychological but I swear is someone else is pumping on the other side of me it goes slower.
