I don't hate this. I don't even hate that Chevy has a new Special Edition truck every week.

I've had parking brakes fail more times than I've had transmissions slip out of gear while parked or cylinders push past compression. For this reason I do not trust a parking brake to hold the car as much as I trust compression to. Always both, IMO.

Really? I do every time I park a manual. Parking brakes wear out over time. The transmission will hold the car in the even of a parking brake failure.

I bought 2 cars off of CL, and I had a gun on me both times. I'm trusting, but I'm not an idiot.

Wasn't the last one $150k? I guess they have to adjust for the rich getting richer.

Completely agree. I was actually kind of hoping he was going to keep it and write about driving a crappy car instead of the usual "lololol range rover repair," but whatever floats his boat.

Buying a car, even a PT Cruiser, just to destroy it is kind of wasteful.

And a final reminder: Street racing is the dumbest thing and the people who do it are literal human garbage.

Chrysler's air raid siren. Manufactured during the 1950's, they were built on a section of Dodge truck chassis and powered by a 331 cubic inch Hemi V8. It's the loudest air raid siren ever made and can be heard up to 25 miles away.

This might need a trigger warning though

Guilty as Charged but I absolutely love Daytona's. Was my first.

All swatters should be charged with attempted murder.

Or going postal.

Mobile beer keg. Insulate the back, put in 3 or 4 kegs, have multiple taps on the side, have it beer festivals, back yard party's.

Mmmmm, government work. Where no one gives a shit because you can't be fired.

Says you

Since you didn't list the price I was a little surprised to see $3500... was thinking it was gonna be free/haul it away/under a grand.

I always hate seeing videos like this, even if the car allegedly has outlived its "lifespan" (yet still drives). I have a V70 with more than 280,000 miles on it. Leaks a bit but still drives like new. You don't just kill good, running cars for the fun of it.

Actually they were on nearly every measurable front. Financially solid - minting money. Production wise they were one of the most efficient on the planet, even in comparison to Toyota. Time to market from concept to production faster than anyone else. And quality levels were above average for industry at the time…
