HSR is perfect for regional routes- or further. Boston to Detroit is about the same distance as Paris to Berlin. Boston to DC is half as far. If they can make it work, so could we. ‘Murica and all that. Besides, the ROW easily could be the already laid out Interstate Highway System- run it right up the middle. 

Well kept, row your own, turbo fun? Seems a smidge high, but in today’s market, prob a good enough deal- especially with the roof rack and snowies added in. NP, with a little room for negotiation. 

No AC = ND. If its such an easy fix... why didn’t it get done? Begs to ask what else wasn’t done. 

This car is looking great- but I just am too old to think it’s worth more than 10-12K. Wish it was mine, though! - ND.

The USS Constitution (AKA Old Ironsides) is a modern(ish) Ship of Theseus.

In 2012 I drove the road to Vernazza, Italy- Cinque Terre- in a rented manual Fiat 500. The guide book said it could be ‘challenging to drive there’ but so is anywhere in Italy, with it’s poor signage and mad drivers. Well, I wasn’t expecting a winding, zig zag of a road with 1000 foot cliffs and no guard rails, one…

Not to beat a dead horse, but running the dedicated lines up the existing interstate highway corridors should be a no-brainer. 

$4K for what amounts to a Euro-spec Opal wagon from the early 00s? Sounds like a Jalopnik dream. NP. 

What about certificate programs through universities? Like Cornell online, for example.

My wiper fluid spray stopped working somewhere outside of Colorado this spring on a cross country road trip. I really should get that going again.

I agree, from personal experience. Got a great deal on my gently used car, 0 down and a good interest rate, but after the extended warranty, and everything else, it ended up in the end near the price of a new one. Lesson learned.

seriously, an Karman E-hia would be awesome. 

Thank you for a real Jalop answer here. 

Total bummer they are killing an electric city/commuter car to make big monsters. Why not both? Surely there is a market.

NP all day. 4x4, fun color and a couple of dings so you can really have some worry free fun with it. 

Perhaps the orange V70R in the recent Nice Price or No Dice? Perfect ride for this college student, and under budget! https://jalopnik.com/1850356992

Like a lot of you, I’m saying NP, but really, I’d want this at $5000. It has a lot of upside- fun color, long roof box-o-rama. With a little love and some time it is a glorious 2nd car, winter fun car or even a car for your cool niece or nephew.

Maglevs?

100%. Just a little investment in human decency and dignity- like trash pick up and a clean restroom or portajohn would solve a large amount of the visible issues here. It doesn’t solve them all, but it is a start.

Before the Neon, it was all about the Dodge Shadow & Plymouth Acclaim. They were everywhere back then- cheap and took a beating, but you don’t see them anymore, for better or worse.
