I read this as “with the 5th under the seat”, as in “four on the floor and a fifth under the seat”. 

Virginia. Much of West Virginia, you can do whatever you want within reason, just slow down for the small towns (Summersville, I am looking at you).  

Well stated. If Texas were a nation, it would be in the top 50 in population, and the top 75-ish in land area. It’s a big fucking place, with some densely populated areas to boot. And it would be #8 in GDP, so damn near everyone can afford a car and has one. I would be shocked if Texas didn’t have an automotive death…

You can bet one or both pilots needed a change of underwear. 

Yep, I would have delivered an ass whoopin’ “in an expeditious, fair and efficient manner.”

Not only is he not putting out that EV fire, neither is the fire department.

Doesn’t want something tall, so I was actually thinking a Maverick. Both drivetrain choices are fun to drive, the interior on those seems fairly dog-friendly; they mentioned fuel economy and the hybrid nails that to the fucking wall.  

As a responsible gun owner, the irresponsible ones really piss me off.  Seriously, fuck those people. 

Haha, I had a Pony 4 speed.  I beat the shit outta that car, and it always took it. And I regularly saw 40 mpg on the highway. 

I had a 86 Pony 4 speed. I threw that thing around the West Virginia backroads. It was no Civic (I also had an 86 Civic), but it wasn’t a wallowing land yacht either.

It’s still a poor investment compared to just sticking the money in an index fund.

I am aware of both the horrors of the Texas juvenile system and the statistics on recidivism. But at least 39 felonies that, you know, require a little more effort than selling dope (where 39 felonies is like a week of doing business) seems like it would be an outlier, for sure; dude’s give-a-fuck circuit seems quite…

I have to wonder, how reformable is a 14 year old with at least 39 felonies under their belt?  

Yep. Localized amounts of 6" of rain in the Philly area with flash flooding. I guess Adam thought he had a real “gotcha” moment there.

Maybe nice price if the HVAC wasn’t fucked. The bird-flipping skeleton is hideous, but that’s an easy fix...not so with the HVAC. 

To be fair, I think my Mazda 3 could punt a Mirage halfway into orbit in an accident. 

The New York Daily WHAT? It’s the Daily News, not the Daily Times! Billy Joel is gonna kick your ass.

I am thinking as an actual golf cart.  This would be cool on the links. 

I shit you not, I know someone in their mid-60s with one of these T-Birds...and a Gallardo (and always has a couple of really nice daily drivers). He’s definitely an enthusiast, hell he leased a 328d Sports Wagon one year, he’s one of us . I guess some people also like a relaxed ragtop to drive to the winery and such.

I’ll be damned, the price is right in the neighborhood. I’m going with fair price.
