At least those answers make sense, unlike watching House Hunters.

Most countries have intelligence agencies. Russia is an intellegence agency that happens to have a country. 

Yup. Even the concepts end up nothing like the production model, so I don’t care about any of that.

It's just fan fiction for automotive enthusiasts, and it does absolutely nothing for me.

Me: “Look, I really just want to get this Palisade and get out of here...”

$300k/400ft works out to $4 million per mile. Google says paving a 2 lane road can cost between $2 million and $5 million per mile.

That 394-foot stretch of Power Road costs €250,000 (about $303,000) more than a regular road. A single mile could cost millions more than a conventional road.

Yeah.. the math here is the sales tax discount on the car you are privately selling. So in Tom’s example that is $663.. in my experience the dealer usually offers you thousands less then what you can get by a private sale.

“Rust. I need a car that treats oxidation like I treated internet pr0n when when I was 15. I need it all the time, and there is never enough. I want to see so much rust, wrought iron restoration experts put me on a most wanted list. I want so much rust, my parents are concerned about heavy metal poisoning.” - David…

This is simply the natural state of an XJ. This isn’t some fancy European car that will explode of the coolant is a slightly off color.  Keep an eye on fluid levels, as budget allows catch up on things.  And for goodness sake find a cheaper shop.  I know it’s CA and all, but I guarantee you there’s a…

I once got an estimate for $1200 to replace a gas tank due to a leak. I got a used tank for $65, and when I dropped the tank, found it was just a rotted $15 filler gasket.

I know! It even has one of those “angry” grilles. I didn’t even know those were an aftermarket option for a Lada of all things.

I don’t understand when people say, “My time is worth more than that.” Unless you would be making the same amount or more in that same time period, it’s not. Even if you took whole week of unpaid vacation from your 100k/yr job and had to buy tools, you could still come out ahead by over $1000 instead of paying a…

I wake up at 3:30 am when I do my oil and filter changes so I can do it without the family “helping me”.

Only if you do it all at once, many of those jobs are 1-4 hours, so if you tackled one every month, and maybe the hot ones the first weekend or two you would not be out much time. Heck probably feels better once you are done than the time we often waste on the internet.  And even if you value your time, some of those…

Turn in your Jalop card...

Can confirm. Labor rates for auto mechanics in the Bay Area are insane compared to the middle of the country.

A couple takeaways:

Justin, always blame the tires.
