True. If I was still living in Florida I would have steered clear of a Tacoma. But being in Utah where nothing rusts, it’s not a problem.

I understand your veiw on the frame issue. Its what gives me pause from buying a late model Toyota truck as well.

You’re bound to always have at least one noisy neighbor. I would take a garage over people who turn a family-sized pool into a crowded water park, barbeque until the wee hours or have a band that stays together longer than the Rolling Stones while being oddly unable to earn enough from their gigs to afford any type of…

I think you underestimate how often you see heterosexual couples making out in public. Legit almost any time I go out somewhere I see that.

I had to fix brake lines on my grandfathers van after he died so we could sell it to pay for the funeral. One of the worst days of my life.

Several years ago, in Vancouver, a judge ordered the forfeiture and destruction of a 20 something year old kid’s high powered and overtly expensive BMW. To add insult to injury, the kid was not only ordered to witness the cars destruction, but he had to push the button to start the crusher.

This. This seems like an imminently fitting, appropriate, and—for lack of a better term—karmically balanced punishment.

A safety class gets a new (to them) bike, new/learning riders get equipment to practice safe, responsible riding on, and the dickbag from this story gets to cry salty, salty tears knowing that his…

My parents have a neighbor that owns a corvette, and it literally never leaves the garage. It’s an early 1990s model. When a NASCAR race comes on television he will turn it on and idle it in the garage for like an hour just to “listen to it”

Jim is 49. He’s worked hard all his life, but has always driven sensible cars that work for the family. His brother Matt has owned a succession of BMWs and has never been quiet about how much they cost and how fast they are. But Jim has just received the promotion he’s been working towards for a long time, and with it…

Chester is 72 years old. He’s been dreaming of owning a Corvette for the vast majority of those years. He worked hard and played it safe. He’s got enough money to bring home a Vette and the wife says it is ok. Now he knows the one’s from the 60's were way faster, buta new Vette is part of the dream. He orders his…

Wow, this hits close to home. For my grandmother’s birthday, 4 years ago, she insisted she wanted to go 90 at 90. So I got her on my Dad’s goldwing (my sportier bike would have been a little tougher) and we did it!

The old ladies in Mad Max are more hardcore than the entirety of this blog

Dear Velocity,

This is correct usage of the internet and car ownership in particular.

This guy gets to post and I haven’t been approved after 6+ years

Maybe for you or me, but this guy appears to be doing something car-related that he loves. Let’s applaud him and wish him a safe trip home.

Exactly. As a car person you should be able to understand that there are different people and it’s cool to see any of these groups have something cool like this happen. I’m a Toyota guy but I still love how this Harlequin is being saved in the same way that I hope people understand why I want a Toyota Century. Non-car…

A lot of commenters just don’t understand how people can have a passion for something that they don’t personally value. I think this is an awesome story.

Some people don’t get the appeal of a numbers matching car. Yeah, it’s no original Hemi Cuda, but it’s a rare care in this particular person’s interest group.
