David, you are preaching to the choir, but boy do you sometimes make it nearly impossible to defend your position. Even a rust bucket has to be drivable to justify its purpose in life.

The overall smug nature of this article was too much for me. Greg is as much a jalop as Bob with his vette. How someone chooses to spend his/her money is none of your business, and certainly living frugally, or lavishly doesn’t make you a better person than someone else. It certainly doesn’t make you a better car…

Bob can never be a Jalop.

Counterpoint: Greg hates your guts and believes you unworthy to even lick his daughters boots. He realizes that rejecting you would merely drive his daughter to you and away from him. He’s playing the long game, keeping his enemies closer. He doesn’t give a shit about the Maxima, but is merely a cheapskate unwilling…

Well, the first part was kind of offputting. Don’t tell us who’s superior to whom. That’s a dick move. Unless, of course, you’re telling us that you are superior to others. That’s still a dick move but at least it’s personal and doesn’t reflect on someone else.

What a pretentious load of crap. Let’s invent straw man “Bob” who’s bad because he drives an automatic. Greg is good because he mows his own weeds and drives a stick shift. Alternate scenario: Bob converted his grass yard to something better for the environment, has a bad knee and therefore cannot shift, and tracks…

I’m all about keeping cars running forever, but I was expecting this car to have something like 400,000 plus miles. However, it has only 225,000 miles which means in the 27 years Greg owned it, he drove an average of 8,333 miles an year. That’s significantly below the national average and about half of a So Cal…

It was going good until I read this.

I made it almost halfway through. I feel like I deserve a prize.

it sort of looks like the type 3 notchback convertible, that never made it into full production

Just ask Uncle Joe

I just don’t understand how the dune entombed the Jeep in the first place, these aren’t dunes like the Gobi desert or something, they don’t show up overnight. Once the dune is encroaching on your garage you’d probably take the Jeep out before the dune buries the doorway. Even if say I came back in the spring after…

He will do his laundry with motor oil in your dishwasher.

So he’s good to spread engine parts all over the kitchen floor then, so he can eat and drink while disassembling that. lol

It is by the starter fluid of Sapho that pistons acquire speed, the driveway acquires stains, the dashboard lights become a warning. It is by will alone I set my Jeep in motion.

I still remember Teddy championing renewable energy and then killing a bill that would have put a wind farm off the coast of Cape Cod. I love that kind of hypocrisy. It really is the best.

You know they were already typing up a reply to accept your offer until you wrote that last part....

Just because you own the land and pay taxes on it does not mean you can do anything with your land. The town knows best.

The CTS-V can do 200 MPH, and actually turn well.

Cimarron. Find one with a V6. Drive it. Form your own opinion.
