These weren’t built for normal people, so I just don’t know.

Someone who’s actually never encountered snow might find this convincing.

A good chunk of their business plan is based on developing property along the route. Actual operating revenue isn’t enough to cover its costs.

Yeah, but these aren’t really “tuned,” are they?

It’s the Constipated Face Package.

Pretty much, The fun/fascinating era ended when the domestics all went front-wheel-drive, killing off the actual buy-it-at-the-dealer “stock” car for a spec chassis/motor with sort-of-but-not-really different bodies. Not really Naacar’s fault, but what it became is Nascar’s fault.

This looks to be exactly the kind of car one shouldn’t buy on the internet. If you encountered it and the seller in real life, inspected it, and got a handle on its true needs (assuming the seller is competent and honest) it miiiiight be worth considering. But going by just what we know now, no way.

Wait, “AMC Museum?” And it appears to be in an aircraft hangar? I’m confused.

 Yeah: “...contrasts with the administration’s support (or lack thereof) for railroad workers late last year.” They really should find someone who knows something about railroad labor (and just railroads in general) if they’re going to post anything about the subject.

Yeah, slant six is the answer. But you need the push-button transmission, too.

Hey, that GTI appears to be the exact-same one I’ve contacted the dealer about.

Hmmm. Will take this into consideration, thanks. Have found some ‘18s with reasonable mileage (as low as 20k) in the $23k range lately.

I’ve been looking for another GTI since someone ran a red light and t-boned my ‘12 back in December. I bought that one in 2014, under 30,000 miles, for $19k. Hoping I can find one in the 2018-’19 range, under 50k miles. Maybe $25k?

Yeah, seize private property to build high-speed rail across Nebraska at $150 million per mile (California’s cost).  What could go wrong?

Traditionally, the railroads stationed “section gangs” in nearly every town along the main line. The gangs of a dozen or so (before power equipment) were responsible for walking or riding a small motorized car over their “section” of track every other day and fixing any problems they found. This was when towns were…

That’s not how it works. There’s no money in passenger service, so no privately owned business is going to invest in it. 

“...shortage of GTIs in general...”

Wait, “a model, influencer and prolific TikToker” is a childish, self-centered, overly entitled asshole? My world doesn’t make sense anymore.

Granted, Cheez-Its are one of the few acceptable in-car roadtrip snacks.

Yeah, I looked him up. Talk about setting your kid’s career path...
