It looks like it could punch through some high seas. Ok one high sea, and then it capsizes.

Most of them look like this:

Yeah it looks like that house is just in back luck city. I bet it sits on some sort of invisible road between two saloons that only drunks can see.

A GMC Safari with the 4.3 V6 would be infinitely more desirable than this VW garbage.

I lived with one of these for 12 years because my dad wouldn’t buy anything but VWs for a while, no idea why. This goddam thing is the worst. For less money you could get an E150 or 250 conversion van with all the good stuff.  I don’t know why anyone would want a manual 2wd van with less than 100 horsepower. ND. Such…

Yikes. I’m saying the homeowners shouldn’t be responsible for traffic control at all. That’s one of those things we pay taxes for. 

Car AND truck are in the garage. Junk is in the yard. How yawl like that? I got 2 boats out there. No wait, 3. 

Bungalows rock if you can afford one. Most of them have a good amount of square footage for their lack of height and width. With a bungalow you need an alley if you don’t want to be parkin on the street. Which you don’t in the city. Also the garbage goes to the alley, not out the front door to the parkway. Keep all…

I don’t love the way they drive or the lack of power, but it’s a 40 year old brown manual wagon so NP as long as it’s not using or leaking a ton of oil.

My grandpa bought one in Medium Wedgewood Blue. It was 1978 so that was normal for a country gentleman who owned a hardware store.

I’ve done a few thousand miles of road tripping in a Cimarron. I don’t know if it was a 4 cylinder or V6, since I never had to look under the hood once. It was slow, ugly and embarrassing but it was also pretty comfortable.

You can’t really find those for less than $10k these days. Heck with that “original patina” that truck might be a $20k deal. 

Is that guy real? What’s with the pants? I am afraid for her. She looks like she’s in some kind of danger.

Wait, they “let him build a barrier” ?

Supercharger kits on stock engines.

Also, in Texas, anywhere you go outside of the city you should probably be in a pickup truck with some AT tires and brush guards. Can’t go wrong there. F150, 250, Tundra, Silverado, RAM.

IDK, I had an S197 GT and I would call it “economy” levels of quality. If you replace the hood with a carbon/glass one (bad aluminum from Alcoa), suspension front and rear (weak/flexy stamped mild steel with cheap paint, prone to rust/decay), re-glue all the interior stuff that doesn’t stick to the backing foam, make…

You really have no idea where this is going? Any Adam Smith fanboy will tell you: consolidation. Leveraged buyouts - the big guys use the little guy’s assets as collateral for loans from private equity firms, and then make the little guys pay back the loans with profits. If they fail to profit fast enough, the private…

Binny’s is turning you into an alcoholic connoisseur. That’s their business model I guess. 

This has always happened. It will keep happening as long as manufacturers are making changes to things. There was a Dodge automatic transmission that went into probably thousands of cars with the sun gears in a planetary gear installed backwards by the plant workers. The gear supplier didn’t stamp the gears to…
