What are some of the common issues with these? For 5K I am considering it heavily...

I endorse this HEAVY. What a great looking car that is. Sure, it need some minor things, but that's the FUN part and you can take your time and do it right. For the price, it's a steal. Classic muscle cars always seem to hold value well, and if you ever decide to sell, odds are you will at least break even.

You just summed it up perfectly.

I guess when you can afford a Tesla or Lambo you automatically become a" professional".

Thanks for your input. I am going to look at a few over the weekend, I am leaning towards a manual, but the automatic w/ paddle shift looks like a blast.

Very cool! Your car seemed very responsive in the video. I have been looking at the GTI's for a bit now, and that video is doing a good job of persuading me.

The white MK6??

Hey Doug,

HELL YEAH. That's what I had to do. When I was on deployment, I had 6 months of time on my hands. I decided I wanted to port my CD's over to MD. I remember linking my portable CD player over to my MD. Back then it took FOREVER, because it had to record at 1X for EACH song. So it took about 30 min PER CD to make a

Hell yes. Just plug your cassette adapter in, and CD was a go. The sound quality sucked balls, but whatever.

I had several, but I lived in Japan at the time. I had a MD deck in my Skyline GTS-T. I am annoyed that MD didn't really catch on, it was a cool format. I have to do some digging, but I still have my portable MD player somewhere.

On a semi-related note, when I searched Google for a 95 Honda Acty, this link was close to the top.

Lots of very good suggestions, no doubt. The problems with alot of them are resale value, they are way too obscure. And besides the car itself, there isn't much to write a series of articles about.

He has a long video, shot from multiple angles while driving. He talks about the enjoyment and the perils of driving one of these beasts.

Doug,

You have a pretty good idea, actually. Since most crew members work a 12 hr shift, the 5K plus population is halved basically. So you wind up being friendly with lots of people you see on a daily basis. It's not just the people who you work with, but the people in the galley, ship store, laundry, parts department etc.

Great article Tyler. I served 8 years in the Navy, and spent many months deployed on various carriers. Most of my sea time was acclimated while I was stationed on the Independence and Kitty Hawk. As for Beer Day, if my memory servers me correctly, it used to be 90 days at sea consecutive before one could take place.
