I wheel a lot in MN and WI and it seems that sxs have completely taken over. They are way more expensive than something like this and this you could drive on the street. I think that people want to be able to break their sxs when off road and then trailer it home. I wheel my jku that I paid $30K for new. I do not have

Not just that, but managers start seeing “company loyalty” as an end in and of itself, like a sportsball team, so any criticism is seen as disloyalty and liable to punishment and reprimand instead of seeing it as issues to resolve and improve upon. Managers don’t understand the things they are supposed to be managing

My uncle Jack was a huge Toronado fan, having owned seven of various model years over the span of two decades.

I guess I am old enough that I love these cars, it would have been cool to roll into Vegas in this in 1978. This is indeed a rare option, looks to be in fine condition, NP for my hypothetical collection. 

Let’s see...it’s a Malaise Era car with monster overhangs passing as styling cues, the V8 didn’t have any oomph when it was new, no title status, no mileage given, and those pinstripes are gauche on such a big personal luxury car.  Plus it was shoved into a barn for decades...why?  ND.

I’ve harped on the issue before, and how people are so blithely unconcerned about the sheer weight of EVs crunching asphalt and buckling bridges. You think America’s roads and highways are crap now? Wait’ll the cumulative effects of EVs pounding them takes hold.

4k miles for 45K same color

How long before the partner of someone with a limiter on their shared vehicle sues because speeding is a form of speech?

Many of these offenders are usually car thieves joyriding in a stolen vehicle. Good luck with that.

You have a great mechanic.  Most would have jumped at the chance to replace your O2 sensor instead of clearing the code and seeing if it would come back.  A few years back I bought an OBDII scanner that lets me reset codes.  It has paid for itself many times over.  

I’m of the opposite opinion. No crank can mean thousands in engine repairs or replacement. Crank/no start is the better of the two situations. My friends and I have gotten many deals over the years on late model and classics that are crank/no start situations and it’s always been something relatively easy to fix

As someone with two nonrunning Volvos in their yard, NP.

Calling silver paint ‘rare’ is quite amusing.

Not paying a dollar over 25k for an early Model 3, battery is a ticking timebomb.

I’m not even going to bother looking up how difficult a heater core is on this.  Some cars it is a full dash removal and for $10k I’m not getting into that box of hornets.

Literally the only reason I still come here as well. This site is a small shadow of itself with almost all of the old writers either elsewhere or at the site that Jalopnik should have turned into- The Autopian.

Thank you sir for coming back! You are 90% of why I even still come here, and a reminder of the good old Jalop days. Hope you enjoyed a well deserved vacation

That interior is super depressing.  BTW- did all of our avatars get nuked?

It is time to declare this lemon fundamentally unsafe and just yank the airworthiness certificate permanently. Maybe Boeing can sell them to Russia or something, probably still safer than Aeroflot.
