Tasteful? Nope. This is no more tasteful than the Mansory Ferrari in the next post. They’re opposite sides of the same ugly coin.

Someone here should buy it and do a writeup on Oppo. They’d be king of the place for at least a week.

But he specifically mentioned the first gen Odyssey, which also lacked sliding doors. I think Doug was trying to make a good argument, and didn’t want facts to get in the way.

This. If the local car dealership had an outdoors store and gun shop in house, I’d be there constantly.

I don’t think it’s fair to say other aircraft replaced the A-10, nor is it fair to say the A-10 replaced anything itself. The mission of the A-10 overlaps somewhat with an F-16's precision bomber role, but is far more than that. The A-10 is optimized for low level, low speed, intensive ground support where it will…

Point of clarification - the South Koreans shut down Kaesong in response North Korea’s latest nuclear test and rocket launch. The South Koreans are tired of this shit, and are hitting Kim where it hurts the most - his wallet. The way Kaesong works is the South Koreans pay a lump sum to North Korea for the labor at the…

Life imitating art imitating life.

The bodywork will still cost an arm and a leg. Paint and body is the most expensive part of restoration - the mechanicals are comparatively cheap and easy - so the damage here is a dealbreaker. Again, I’d rather have a high mileage, original one without major body damage than this thing.

The 1.4T in the Arbath is tuned differently than the 1.4T in the Dart.

Ha! It will be 30 years before this is worth more than scrap.

This. A decent, original, high mileage IROC-Z or Z/28 might fetch $4k. One that’s been wrenched on? $2500, maybe $3k.

You’re my new favorite person.

This sounds like a well researched creepy pasta that someone re-purposed into a Nigerian email scam as a joke, but was then picked up by actual scammers.

Nah, it was the NHRA.

That’s the most solid way to accomplish things, and a few CCW cases are on their docket that would address that. A quicker solution would be to have a sympathetic Congress pass the law and force the President to decide whether or not to veto it.

I would have offered up the Saudis or Qataris personally, but Iran is certainly more overt about it.

That would be nice if the entire nation could get them, and there was reciprocity so you could actually carry nationwide. Why the Republican Congress hasn’t done that instead of symbolically repealing Obamacare for the 1000th time, I don’t know.

I don’t see how anything but disengaging is a viable solution.

The Democrats are taking a lot of risks this year. First they go after gun owners like it’s 1994. Now they’re declaring war on the car hobby. They’ve also pissed off everyone living in coal country with previous EPA regulations. At this rate, the only thing keeping them viable is the repulsiveness of the Republican…

Unaccountable federal agency unilaterally changing the interpretation of laws that effect the hobby and lifestyle of millions?
