Sacrificial steel anodes and battery chargers and kiddy pools have restored many broken things, as has lighting them on fire. It really is impressive what you can accomplish even without tapping or a penetrating oil finish.

A cement floor would be a problem since that makes it a “permanent structure” (requiring permits), as is placing it in the front yard (setback requirements). That said, a backyard tent is 100% compliant with most city ordinances and maybe $150/car on the harbor freight website, less after the 20% off coupon.

Im not sure you’re clutching your pearls tightly enough. Please understand that semi-abandoned jeeps are not the limit of terror. 

Now that’s just crazy talk, if you’re going to spread the plague the key thing is to make sure all the vermin are properly infected. That’s why I breed my plague rats in an underground lair and not a 96 Kia Forte

I am very happy to join one neighbor with 2 cycle dirt bikes and one with an illegally parked boat. I would never tell of course, unless they pulled a Tracey

Agree 100%, I don’t know what the difference is for a smog regulated performance car (76+) vs non-regulated one (75-)b sell some plasma and buy that one

CA are the kings of monetizing legislation and other states want in on those fat stacks. I think there are now something over 35? with some form of this in at least some parts of the state. If you want a smog legal CAI on your Honda Civic you will be paying CA fees on every possible combination of transmission and…

I am as surprised as you but yes, they sort of are. Hagerty shows a “Fair” condition price only 10k north of this Dino. I'm not sure how many flood damaged salvaged title Panteras exist these days but apparently it is a number greater than zero. 

If that happens sure. I don't expect NSX features on a Civic budget but I'm willing to be impressed

Agreed, they basically priced themselves out of the market (>60K in adjusted dollars for a Toyota was... unprecedented), IIRC the TT Stealth/VR4 was much the same. You can maybe get away with this if your logo is a prancing horse, not so much if you are known for econoboxes

If we wanted cars you had to rev to the moon for torque wouldn’t Mazda have been more successful? Hp/liter is a stupid argument unless you live in one of the few areas where you pay tax on displacement. 

Is that the same speech he gave to Marilyn? Ironically also circa 1962

I will take my automatic with just the 3 speeds and no computer. You know, the ones that generally don’t break and even if they do, it doesn’t total the car. Sadly they now live on only in my memory....that and craigslist. Even going to 4 speed electronic caused a lot of problems, I cannot imagine what the longevity…

Some clutches are light and have wide engagement zones. Some are on-off switches that are as stiff as ($IMPORT MALE PORNSTAR NAME HERE$). On a normal car a manual car is certainly doable day to day, on certain vehicles only on "leg" day

Indeed, AWD means even more horses will wander around aimlessly. Sadly it's the closest most cars will ever get to RWD so... yay?

So they novelized ELIZA?

Colecovision said hold my beer and released Turbo what, one year later?

I remember what Hyundai/Kia used to be. It is difficult not for root for them given how far they have come. I never imagined seeing an $80,000 Hyundai in my lifetime but they exist

That is an unfair car to choose since all workers on a GMC Yukon can maintain a 6 foot distance while assembling it

Please take my star... I'm sure future generations will revel in your Rosetta Stone of comparative animal metrics.
