This guy helped someone launder $2.9 million.

I’m just thrilled that, for once, a Jalopnik wrenching article ends with “some rusty shitboxes just aren’t worth fixing.”

Some stray observations:
- this is, in fact, good Jalopnik
- “thrice,” nice.
- I thought I couldn’t love your name more, then I read “Mercy.”
- I would very much pay to watch/read/listen to the Marvelous Mechanical Misadventures of Mercedes and Sheryl: a Walk in the Park (to some)

I’m glad you found the right buyer. It’s funny how certain combinations of parts can scratch a precise type of itch. I had picked up a basket case Kawasaki with no title a few years ago, then found someone a couple hours away who was selling a rolling frame - with title! - for the same model. An engineless motorcycle…

As a restorer of old junk I can feel every stuck bolt and 2 min = 2 hour job.

If I didn’t witness that more the I should in NY, I wouldn’t laugh as much as I am right now lmao

Ralph was just the person carrying the inevitable message. There was no way to avoid safety and emissions, as much of a downer it has been.

I laughed out loud at the “quirk” part. Brilliant. 

Counterpoint - have you seen recent Lexi? 

FWD sucks no matter how ‘sporty’ they try to make it.

Pop up headlights are the best headlights. 

Automobiles only come in four colors, red, British Racing Green, black, and “who cares.”

Manual transmissions are overrated for daily driving.

Old British cars are not as bad as the meme-ified reputation they’ve got. And the collapse of British Leyland was not due to worker action, but poor management and political interference.

Station wagons are better than SUV’s.

You took too much, too much ... 

I’m enjoying the revival of Boatopnik.

“It’s spelled ‘Wilson Luxury-Yacht’ but it’s pronounced ‘Throatwarbler Mangrove’”.

How about waiting for the stop sign to turn green?

My car beeps and blinks like a motherfucker if I drive with the brake on.
