This. Sedans are also much more reasonable in price than SUVs and sports cars in today’s inflated market. One of my buddies is looking to sell his older Ford Fusion and get a lightly used IS300 or Genesis, and we’ve found that the prices on those are not a ton higher than they were a few years ago. 

Over the years I’ve known two guys who were into building these things. Both were the biggest assholes I have ever met. I’m sure that’s not a fair sample of the entire community, but it’s just so hard to get out of my mind. One of them told me that one of the design goals was to get the exhaust noise up over 90dB.…

Yeah I probably couldn’t build it for less. But I could say the same thing about my Honda Fit that I bought for CAD$4000.

Why not both?

ND in that go to any hot rod show and you can find at least 4 60s to 70s style T buckets for sale for $25k.  Seems like every bucket is $25k.  Offer $20k cash and you can have the pick of the litter....or better yet, spend it on something better than a 70s style bucket (trad build T, shoebox, tri-5 daily driver, so…

Nice price for the right buyer. Seller actually knows what he has and describes it as such...non-snarky version. I do wonder how many of the “right buyers” are left though...

The Expanse (novels and TV series) does a good job of envisioning what human societies would look like if we managed to colonize the solar system. And the tribalism only ceases when there is a common threat of annihilation to the species, and even then just barely...…

This is a paradigmatic example of missing the forest for the trees, or in this case missing the forest for one damned pine needle.  

It was exactly my first thought that someone just grabbed a “flags of the world” graphic and I love their passive aggressive response to the ridiculous criticism. How the hell does someone even notice this shit in the first place? What, did they do a “CSI enhance” to every angle of the damn helmet seeing if they could…

because he can’t step down. how does a mob boss walk away? 

Also, the gold bars the lady was holding at 0:31 weigh over 1,000lbs. She should be in the Olympics.

The 40,000 businesses operating out of this building, for example.

How is it even legal to keep ownership confidential from the authorities?

It should be seized an used to house Ukrainian refugees.

~23% are pickup trucks.

Where I used to live, there wasn’t another structure (and rarely another vehicle) between my house and the roadhouse. Just dead straight, flat, well paved roads between fields of crops. I drove drunk there all the time and never thought twice about it.

My takeaway is that there may not be many Ford Contours still on this earth, but they are all owned by raging alcoholics.

There are 100 left.  3 of them have DUIs.

I don't think that tracks. The RAM 2500 is also owned by a ton of fleet operations, same deal with the Silverado. Yet they're on the list and the F-150 isn't. It's very weird. 

Charger and Challenger folks are too smart to get hammered while they have a brick of coke and a dirty gun under their seat.
