3.4 Toyota v6. Rock solid and cheap as chips at any wrecker.

I see Mr. Clingingsmith as a hero of sorts, he saved these cars that would otherwise be destroyed and forgotten, and gave them a (short) lease on life.

Swag. He has it.

Awesome story.

I love how governments make manufacturers build cars that are safe and try to stop people from using their phones while driving but allow manufacturers to transform their cars in movie theaters on wheels with screens scattered all around the dashboard that will make people take their eyes off the road...

Troll

You didn’t add a single thing to the conversation. Instead, you drew negative attention to yourself. Immature. Insecure. Ignorant. Troll.

I bet you're really fun at parties.

Fuck the fuck off. The guy lives along the PCH and is a national class athlete. Enjoy your joyless workday tomorrow.

Oh hell yeah, send us your blog bro, I’ll totally read it

“Because it’s mine/not yours and I’ll let it rot if I want to” is not a defense any jalop will ever accept. Also, it’s pretty stupid and selfish, and shows a lack of compassion and empathy for people that cannot afford $200+ a month to store old cars, let alone $200 a month for the car itself.

Easy there, slugger! It’s right there in his email:

Isn’t tracking down the own exactly what Horace said he was going to do next?

Whew - slow down there. I don’t think either “Horace” or Doug have suggested trying to steal the cars.
