Thank you for a lede gif that isn’t a total tease.

My pleasure! Happy to condense a lot of disparate sources into one location while they’re still top-of-mind.

I started with a brake job on my ‘99 Corolla. Tonight, I’m reinstalling freshly-refurbished heads on my ‘89 Range Rover, and in a couple weeks I’ll be doing an Inspection II service on the iX. It snowballs quick.

Ah man, then you already knew everything I said, haha.

They are indeed straight shooters. I just can’t wrap my head around their asking prices.

Not a scam. It’s a Rover-only (with the occiasional other interesting vehicle) import shop south of Austin that also has a couple mechanics on staff. They seem to know their shit, but I can’t wrap my head around their prices.

There’s rust on (basically) every unrestored classic Range Rover tailgate :-/

This is on offer by a local shop just south of Austin. They import a pile of cool stuff but IMO position it too high upmarket. The 2.4 VM has a bad reputation around the web (I have no first-hand experience with it), but they’ll end up selling that for $10K to someone who will swap in a 300Tdi and wants a manual…

Retaining the original Rover V8 is a viable option.

Hooray!

Thanks! I read a lot of What Car Should I Buy :-P

Just pick a slightly different Porsche.

Architecture is a very similar industry. Also, I’d encourage you to bite the bullet and get some gloves. I hate Sweaty Glove Hand but it beats the hell out of Burny Cat Scratch Hand.

Can we just call it “climbing the ladder?” We all fucking know it’s imaginary, Kevin.

The iX is actually extremely hard to hoon because the grip is off the charts relative to the modest power of the M20B25.

These little farts are why I was so bummed when car2go switched to an all-GLA/CLA fleet. Austin had a few electric fortwos zipping around and they were a blast.

Without rug? What do I look like, an animal?

Look at that fake stitching. Luckily, this looks to be a great part to bite.

What do you call a group of assholes? If you’re Barstool, it’s “a readership.”
