part of what’s made it so slow and expensive is people that don’t want high speed rail throwing up every legal roadblock they can to slow it down and drive up the cost...a lot of it is the same roadblocks that get thrown up on any project someone doesn’t want, CEQA (noise, traffic disruption, claims of some endangered…

maybe he’s related to this guy from boston?

The Simpsons may have beat you to it...

Personally, I’m less bothered by this than the ones where the garage COMPLETELY dominates the front of the house (hey, i’d like to be able to see out front, at least).

i was thinking similar...the 2000's ranger/mazda b-series. there’s half a dozen examples in budget with under 100k and 4wd within a couple hundred miles on auto trader, one is even a manual. the v6 can be a little thirsty, but according to torque and the info from the ecu, i’m sitting around 27mpg average with the…

I say let the woman travel in cargo and whatever happens happens,

“not flood damaged”

Challenger, Bronco, and the Mini are great nominations.

they’re working on that “fastest route”

this right here. my ELM327 reader is BAFX branded, and it’s still working great with Torque since 2014.

impatience, perhaps? boston market allows online ordering, but with both locations here, even if you ordered ahead through their online ordering, you’re still stuck waiting in line behind the morons that can’t make up their mind what they want to order, while my order sits on the counter getting cold.

probably because it appears to actually have been done well, rather than an awful hack job.  i don’t WANT it, but i respect the effort.

I hear you...i’m going to have to accept it if i get something bigger, but at the moment, the only vehicle in the household that isn’t a manual is kiddo’s (6:1, counting the motorcycles) and i’m not ready to give up shifting for myself.

and yet it sounds like there’s quite a bit of all 3, unfortunately.

i’ve had a few asking about my B-series (mid 2000's rebadged ranger), but they lose interest when i tell them it’s a manual. it’s a great height for loading and unloading, for real.

we very recently picked up an X3 and kind of picking through what it can do. other than that rally video, the GTA (backpack mount) tutorial was one of my favorites.

so...what they really need to do is something akin to what the Euro brands do with factory pickup. maybe not the whole “experience” thing, but at a minimum have an option where you can handle all the paperwork with your dealer, take your paperwork to “whereever”, and drive back in your brand new car.  cut the whole…

it really depends how much it was stripped down. afaik, the platform and mechanicals between the golf/gti and the scirocco are very similar, just a different shell. in theory, a GOOD shop could tear it all the way down to swapping the scirocco shell onto the R32 floor pan, and it’s mechanically still the r32,…
