It’s a 40-year-old car with 81000 miles. 2000 miles a year isn’t anything. I’d bet it went bad from sitting for an extended time.

The Enola Gay is no less significant as a preserved B-29, it’s simply the most well-known example. The Air Force Museum has Bockscar, which dropped the second bomb, and considering the Air Force exists explicitly for the purpose of making war I’d say its inclusion is definitely appropriate.

Yuck. Good content ruined by idiotic presentation. If I give them clicks I give them more reason to produce crap. 

I use a Tech-Air 5 myself. It’s not uncomfortable and it’s easy to use.

Combined with the track-ready brake setup, I suspect this guy used it or intended to use it as a track car. With the racing-type seats, if they are fixed in place, being able to remove the steering wheel is a boon to ingress and egress.

Someone will buy this, guaranteed. In this market that’s not incredibly out of line. And they guy put the wrench time in, so if it all works together properly it might even be a fun track car.

I don’t know if that’s good guidance. Most people who have one-sided conversations with empty chairs in public end up in a straitjacket.

There’s still “money owed” on the car? I’d want to know exactly how much and in what way. Otherwise, no way would I go 19 large on a car that someone could tow away in the middle of the night because of a lien that exists held by some mechanic who didn’t get paid.

There is literally no Lotus that I wouldn’t buy if I had the coin, even knowing how they shed pieces and are less well built than a kid’s Lego sculpture. I find them all attractive, even the Europa in a weird sort of way.

I wish I could tolerate Donut Media, but I can’t make it past the first time someone says “herspers” before I find them to be intolerable. The content is right up my alley, the hosts are annoying.

I used to be a “What part of Shall Not Be Infringed do you not understand?” guy, and I still have what most would consider an arsenal and a permit, but between the utter senselessness of mass shooting and the insanity of laws that permit things like this long ago changed my mind.

R.E.M.’s “Drive” from New Adventures In Hi-Fi is nearly 7 minutes of unsettling, restless melancholy. There is no point in that song where you feel joyful, and the resolution is equally uneasy.

Second, fifth, or dead last, all are still losers. When you want to win just copying the best car is a surrender. You have to do something different to beat them. Mercedes isn’t Aston, they won’t be happy with second, so they tried something different.

A station wagon, as mentioned.

If I had the money to buy this I’d rather have a real one, or, alternatively, the Ford Cobra concept they never made:

I wish I had seen this when you were soliciting stories originally, because I have tons of these. I used to be a genuine menace to society.

There’s another reason beside “glugging”. If you pour with the spout on top you can more accurately hit the oil fill hole if you don’t have a funnel. You can get the bottle nearly horizontal before the oil starts to pour out. Try it with a used bottle filled with water and you’ll immediately notice the difference in…

Yes, contractors can restrict what is done with the equipment they sell. Fun fact: C-130Js have Rolls Royce engines, which are warrantied only as long as they are worked on to the extent the contractor permits. Outside of fluid changes, they cannot be cracked open and rebuilt in the field. Only the contractor can do…

I have a Juke with a 6MT and I have never wanted for AWD. The AWD version has its own issues, the rear has no underfloor storage and the gas tank is even smaller than the manual version.

If traffic stops keep people from driving like morons, they’re doing a piss-poor job. As soon as everyone is out of sight of the fuzz they resume doing what they were doing.
