@tysmagic I had no idea that's where we got it, it was a German training ship before we got it. Now the Coasties have it.

@CoolMinivan-Nobody We all have our disagreements and different points of view, but the comradery on here is fantastic.

@pip-bip Wait... I'm a racecar driver?

@ash78

Like @Krusty-Walnut said, 100k in sales is probably enough, if they're making $10k+ in profit on every sale.

@trivet Sweet vaping kid Camaro

@davesaddiction We will see if they stick around very long.

@Wrong-Wheel-Drive in my personal testing (hungry, travel, gimme food) I find the impossible whopper actually quite good and although 90% as good as the normal cow whopper, it leaves me feeling not bloated greasy farty at all. So I’m a fan. Now, if they can make impossible waygu or impossible Kobe, then we’ll have something approaching impossibly glorious.

Congrats @ST80MND on the win!

For your dodge collection, I submit the Dodge Slingshot. This was a running and driving prototype featuring a rear-mounted engine, rear-wheel-drive, and a power roof. Ok, fine, yes, it was just a rebodied Smart Roadster. It could have competed with the Pontiac Solstice, but Chrysler ultimately shelved the project after thinking that there wasn't much of a market for a baby sports car in America.

Sadly, seeing that GM's small sports car effort didn't last that long, Chrysler was right in the long run. Look, it's also not blue, just look at it through blue glasses or something. 🙂

@Longtime-Lurker That looks interesting, will have to check it out. I used to read a lot of science fiction, then the genre kind of changed and the authors I was interested in kinda cycled out (and I didn't find new ones) but the book sounds interesting.

@pip-bip

Pants or paint?

@Jan__Bosik Woah woah wait, is anyone going to point out how you found a picture of a Chevy SSR that has a first-gen VW Touareg and a VW Phaeton just casually in the background?

@ttyymmnn "As you can see from this report, the tyres are just fine and you can go ahead with your journey!"

@pickup_man inline 12 for the win!

@KngT I believe they've had it for a while, I remember seeing both days listed and price drop last time I seriously shopped cars back in 2017, cargurus might do the same.

@facw Sorry. Here you go:

I'll keep that rule in mind. My partner was taking photos last night for her adoption profile (and I don't have those), but otherwise we've been engaged without photos, so this is a recycle.

@awesomeaustinv If the motor isn't rebuildable, maybe look into converting to a different motor (it should really just be adapting the drive mechanism and making a bracket) or even switching to manual windows?

Post about this car more, I like looking at it

@RallyDarkstrike said in Fuck This Piece In Particular:

Do have to get a door seal replaced on my car though...the driver's side door seal had two clips rip out of the rubber when the door froze shut a bit during an ice storm a few weeks ago

It seems like you've had a lot of cosmetic pieces to deal with recently, hoping this isn't becoming an exercise in futility in keeping it perfect. Sucks that parking cars outside is so hard on them.

@CarsOfFortLangley just make it a star

@M-T-Blake Very nice! How is it heated? Or is that a non-issue where you live.

@beefchips Absolutely do not buy anything that isn't a new OEM part. I'm currently on alternator #4 in the town car, all of them are remans because new is like a hundred bucks more. None of the previous three worked. The current one regulates low. I stopped doing warranty replacements because it's good enough.

My buddy is on his third AW11 alternator too- you straight up cannot get good reman alternators these days. Don't bother.

Since you've just got a bad bearing, go ahead and try your hand at just changing that. I was successful at the same on my Golf years back.

I thought the turbo was the same size, just tuned for 87 instead of premium?

I got the ST this go around for the creature comforts as well, fog lights, heated/leather seats, power-adjustable seats and dual-zone climate control. I do miss the LSD though.

@Old-Busted-Hotness TIL! Good writeup.

@Roadkilled probably pissed off some of their dealers in Alabama

@pip-bip they really couldn't think of some better-sounding euphemistic brand name for that?

@SilentbutnotreallyDeadly Ready for another twenty years of farts!

@FourMalibus typically just Alpine Valley. I grew up riding Brighton and Alpine.

My buddy and I went riding last Sunday at AV and it was good until the kiddos and parents started getting up to the hill. They really need a "Get Off My Lawn" day for cranky old bastards like myself.

Probably gonna hit up some place up north this month. I'm trying to get back to riding on the regular. New year...newly single me...old hobbies. 🙂

@amoore100 I miss Doug’s writing - I enjoy it much more than his videos, which are much more mass market entertainment than catering to the enthusiast niche. I have that book (and its sequel, iirc) and it’s a fun read with good humour and amusing stories and anecdotes. I’m happy for him though that his videos and Cars & Bids have found such success, he deserves it.

@beefchips said in Irrational Wants:

@WBizarre please buy one and tell me all the outrageous maintenance and repairs so I can finally kill my lust for a GT

I'm the same way. The GT is one of my dream cars. One of the most beautiful cars ever made in my opinion. I can't imagine the maintenance is as bad as everyone says, but at the same time, I can't take the risk.

@mjswee Yes, but I couldn't afford it when it was at EAG in 2018 and I can't afford it now. 😞

Also, I love how they started with the most base E90 and didn't even get a sport pack.

@Demon-Xanth That is a thing of beauty.

@facw if i painted it; i would've made it much worse

@gettingoldercarguy No Voyagers anymore, big changes going on in my life, decided it was time for a name change.

@adamftw i prefer the std Holden front myself for obv reasons

@Tripper that painted trim looks wrong

Oh no, that Aspire truck is near my folk's place. I might have to check it out when I visit in three weeks

@ttyymmnn yeah no thanks.

@CoolMinivan-Nobody not good.

@Cat_Of_Doom Mercedes kit car plz

It's very hard to do technical work whilst wearing a hat with a 4 and a half inch brim...

...that's my excuse, anyway.

@derp onwards and upwards is always good

@Britishvillaininatl Chrysler TC FTW!

good for you, mate. Play some videogames, watch a favourite movie, talk with your family... enjoy a day off.

@AkioOhtori 🙂 great idea

@Green-Truck leave it as is, don't use it as a plow again

@ttyymmnn oof!

@Sam-Blockhan 3000GT plz
