Same here. I really liked Outlaw Star, though, and they’re all on a similar frequency.

Photos? Lacerda/call

There are always people that think they’re going to get in on the ground floor of some moonshot investment but it’s generally luck. The real question you have to ask with those investments is can you afford to lose it? If yes, go ahead and buy $1,000 worth of bitcoin. Not now, of course.

The early 2000s trinity.

Does it fit in the front of the Millennium Falcon?

I’m guess that’s the Empire Builder. On a normal run it’ll charge through the Chicago Suburbs pretty quickly. I’m interested to see that’s how the van’s designed to come apart in a crash. I’ve always thought those Fiats looked fragile compared to a Sprinter or Transit but that probably really helped in this case.

I’m more worried about what impact (sic) it has on the passengers. Was this train headed west or to Chicago?

For the 90s you should be quoting Sport Compact Car, which was a very detailed and in depth publication at the time, NOPI ads notwithstanding.

“Show the court on the teddy bear where Jalopnik touched Kinja’d you.”

In New York? I haven’t been able to ski any trails around Chicago for more than one weekend for the last three years. When I took some vacation days in Quebec City a few years ago I really regret not taking my skis. They had a ton of snow and groomed cross country trails just outside the walls.

“but it was still alive and kicking”

How different are those cabover Bluebirds versus the box truck with seats that most school busses are? I wouldn’t want to drive (or ride) long distance in one. I know California specified a more bus like school bus but that doesn’t look like one.

I thought it was Santa Cruz but Irvine had a trailer park as well. It’s a good series about trying to find a decent job in the early 90s recession while turning your car into functional performance art: https://murileemartin.com/ImpalaRoundup.html

That happened at a paper plant near LA where a friend was working. He realized a number of workers were sharing some trailers parked at the end of the lot to sleep in during the week because the commute was so long. He helped coordinate some semi-official sanitary procedures like fresh water and disposal because they…

Morgantown is a exurban enclave of DC. I-68 has no other reason to exist.

If there’s not an Alfa dealer in Charleston there’s definitely one in Morgantown and that’s not too far for a tow.

For a normal car I would think you’d need to turn down the torque a lot and have an RPM limiter to make a transmission mate properly.

I rented a 1.6L diesel and that was more than enough...

I’d go with the Volvo as the V70 is probably the most comfortable car I’ve ever driven. No guarantee but they were also available with manual transmissions.

Chargers seem to be selling pretty well around Chicago. All the showoff types that a generation ago would mod a Civic Si seem to have them.
