“...right around 5,000 miles a year seems about perfect.” Yeah, that would seem to indicate it was a summertime driver. Would need to see this one in person, though...

Did these have the hydropneumatic suspension the S class had? Bur at this price, it’s like what Harold Ramis said while directing Caddyshack: What the hell, it’s not MY money...NP.

Plenty of that after 20 Minnesota winters, but the ones that stand out were the Christmas-break drives back to Upstate NY. This would be mid-late-December, I-90 east of Chicago through the heart of the lake-effect snow belt. In a friend’s early 70s full-sized Chrysler (Newport, I think?) with college-student-budget…

  “...eliminated side markers and turn signals...” WTF? Is this even legal? And even if it is, how stupid would one have to be to want to drive around with no turn signals?

Didn’t care for them when new, but this looks pretty, pretty good now, actually.

The F1 is 30 years old. The Veyron is the first boring supercar.

Reached for comment, his cat said “Who’s this, now?”

Supercars (and the people who find them fascinating) are dumb and boring. 

People thinking you must be an "influencer" = another reason to drive something else.

Well, not their OWN ashes, but other people’s.

“This is not a vehicle intended to be owned and operated on a budget.” That’s a great way of putting it. For someone with (at least) two other cars, this would be a reasonable summertime cruiser.

I’m interested to see if repair costs exceed the price of a new one. Do the body guys have experience working with carbon fiber?

Yeah, it took 45 years of “free trade” policy to get us here, soooo....

So someone imported it to CA knowing it can’t be registered there? Wouldn’t it be cheaper for an interested would-be buyer to find one in the UK and ship it over themselves, cutting out the flipper?

Gotta note that Sanders appears to be a pretty decent type after what his family's just been through. Take it where you find it these days.

I’ve encountered something (maybe a little?) similar making reservations in another city. Even when making reservations online I like to call the front desk and confirm, and more than once I’ve heard something like “Are you sure you want to stay here? We’re a mile and half from (event venue).” Maybe it’s a nice way of…

His “manifesto” is pretty much mainstream Republican talking points: “...be prepared to fight to get the Dems out of the fed government and military by any means necessary. They all must go and a hard reset must occur for our country to avoid collapse.”

Pretty much grew up on Yates-era CD. That’s where I discovered Jean Shepherd, too.

He killed himself with a Desert Eagle 50-caliber handgun, which isn’t something an experienced “skilled warrior” would carry. 

Suburbs go back much earlier than the 1950s. More like 1910s, or earlier.
