It’s $3K to get it off The Big Island to either LAX or SEA. Friend recently shipped a Prius from Kona. So your $10K figure (car, shipping, repair) is probably spot on.

Bring a Trailer and bail money.

Had he succeeded with his sedition our naval aircraft carriers would all be in dry-dock this very moment being “upgraded” to his Italian design specs. 

2002 Honda Odyssey with a coolant leak. $1250. Owner says bring a bottle of coolant, should get you home and around until you fix the coolant pump leak. It’s got 200K miles and is 10K miles away from needing a new timing belt the owner says. For $1250 I’d just let that intereference do its interfering and then junk…

When Abbott is down 10 points to Beto in the fall he will probably intervene and give Killer Kyle a free-ride at Texas A&M. 

When I took the Subaru in for the airbag they said not to worry they would go over everything and let me know what else was wrong. To upsell me on repairs no doubt. I summoned the service manager and told him that the POS was there for one reason and one reason only, fix the airbag and that I knew everything wrong…

I took in a Subaru for the Takata recall last year. I had disconnected the bag under the seat so it wouldn’t go off and had been driving around with the air bag light on for two years. The dealership (my mechanic could not perform the swap legally) installed a new airbag and didn’t even bother to reconnect it. The…

I paid $5.20 at a mountain town gas station in Idaho last week. So add that one to the list. 

You have obviously never flown to Alaska where half the bin space in the winter is taken up with arctic parkas. What are you supposed to do with a jacket? Put it on the floor? I pay the money for a checked bag and it is not unreasonable to put my briefcase in the overhead. The rule should be that nothing with wheels…

I’ve been to side of the road asados in Patagonia more than a few times and they rock. Second best barbecues I’ve attended were in Romania. Bizarre collection of meats I’ve never seen anywhere else. Cevapi! 

I worked as a lawyer for a few years enforcing the Safe Drinking Water Act. I wish I had never learned half of what I learned from that job. Your best bet is either living way out in the country with a private well you test for contaminants every six months to a year or a city that uses wells, not a surface water…

I worked in a suburban fish market. I won’t buy anything but frozen fish unless I personally caught the fish or am standing on the dock when they bring it off the boat. 

Police do make mistakes, but make no mistake someone pays for it most of the time. The taxpayers of whatever governmental agency the LEO works for have to deal with the payout. It was my job to represent a governmental agency against such claims. And fuck me it took a lot of defending. I once paid out a claim within…

Just show the photos of the mangled bodies. Let them own it.

Anything with low mileage and runs is worth $7500 where I live. Do I care that it’s allegedly a show car, no. 

I don’t think so. Here’s an unrusted built one for $5750.

The history lesson best showcasing what happens when you ban abortion is Romania under Ceaucescu. All those kids grew up, became angry with communism and ultimately put a bullet in Ceaucescu’s head. His wife, Elena, arguably an even worse person, got the same treatment. The non-white demographic in the USA is already…

Whoa.... I was thinking of getting back on a suicycle, but this looks just as intriguing. 

This is an artifact. Y’all are going to be sorry in 20 years when this vehicle is the star of the show at Radwood the Aughts. Sure the battery is shot. Find a wrecked Leaf and fix it. If this was on the west coast it would be in my possession now. The only way this could be more perfect would be if it were a 2-door…

This is actually a great idea. Set it up with the mandatory shade cloth, a string of hipster lights, a grilling station, a few camp chairs, and an outdoor shower. The result is flexing for the ‘Gram as overlanders/van-lifers without all the fuss of fixing up anything for the renter. Hide a portapotty discretely out of…
