The killer can be the way you pay sales tax. Since I travel, I can drive all over GA to find a good deal, and did so with my Wrangler. I may have been able to go to Alabama and save a few more bucks, but then I'd have to pay an amount equal to, or greater than the sales tax, just to register in GA. My savings PLUS,

Growing up within a few miles of the original on Sheridan and Millersport, I've grown to love Duff's. I always make it a point to stop there on my trips home. Medium used to make our eyes water, just from the plate being set in front of us.

So, the insurance companies don’t pay because the bike driver was doing something illegal? I don't know. Had the girlfriend been killed, would it be involuntary manslaughter? The rider's activities, while illegal, would not translate to committing a crime, but how about the driver?

“Crum" sums it up in a word. I think they should go for attempted murder and plead it down to assault. He should spend some time in jail.

I just remember the plunger-style 10 MPH ones that stuck out so far, you could sit on them. But if you got hit, they invariably stuck, making them next to useless.

Rust belt- Buffalo- 1980, driving my 1973 Pinto. It was rusting on the doors and fenders from road salt. The front floors had rust holes measuring roughly 12” x 24”, but were covered by the carpeting. Driving my new girlfriend (pitiful as it sounds), I rounded a corner that had a significant amount of standing water

Pretty busy, but it beats the alternative. Jalopnik has changed a lot since its inception, but I’m still around...just not as vocal as the old days. Always great to catch up with friends.

Of course! That's my Jeep, too. I'm actually leaning on the roof on the driver's side, but it's cut off.

THAT'S NOT HER HEEL... Wait! I see it now.

One has to wonder just how high the deception goes. This is a very big deal. Aside from the EPA fines, there’s California, which is no slouch when it comes to environmental issues. they fine the hell out of the biggest companies- Walmart is one that comes to mind.

For my part, I had a CJ-7. Awful road manners. Wifey hated it with the top off. Couldn’t drive the manual either. Take the top and doors off, and FREEDOM! So, now I have a JK (pictured in my avatar) 4-door. Much more civilized. Still a pain to remove the hard top, but hey...sacrifices. Wifey can’t drive this one,

The ones I've seen here are $95,000. Ridiculous.

I dunno. Current one is about as civilized as you can get and still make it as capable as it is.

Leatherette? We sold purses at Woolworths that were made of Nappa Kaffa. They had a swatch of it hanging off the strap in its "native" form, and in the shape of a steer hide. HAH!

Well, Suzuki just bailed in the US, so rebadging Suzukis as Chryslers or Fiats would make some sense. I don’t think they were BAD cars. And they have a huge presence in India.

Here’s a vague one; how about any new safety feature that:

WOW! That Dreamlifter needs a DIET! Looks like my college Accounting professor- small head on a big body.

I’m thinking, for the price, that I might rather own the Ford, anyway...

I get a kick out of the van having sentimental value...HAH! Then, KEEP IT. The cord, tough beans. I lost a steering wheel cover that way, once. I suspect it went in the garbage, not in the grease monkey’s ‘72 GMC.
