The jackbooted Nazi that sent the car to the crusher line should suffer the fate that this car was saved from. Confiscation and forfeiture laws need to be removed from the law books. I wonder if they will accrue impound fees and screw him out of the car anyway, as impound and fines are just revenue grabbing schemes made by the state to steal peoples hard earned money . ...

Another good one: 1966-1985ish Fiat 124 Spider. I purchased mine 10 months ago for $8000, with 28k original miles, with a redone interior, repainted body, as well as performance modifications and plenty of repairs. 124’s sell on BAT for less than $20k almost every day, and if you look on other sites, (craigslist, facebook marketplace) you can find them for less than $10k. Watch for rust and weak synchros. The engines are pretty indestructible. ... View more

You don't have to be a "new owner" for the sticker shock of repairs.... They seem to take delight in bring you the tablet, rubbing their chin and looking concerned (I seriously think they have a special class for this) and telling you the "necessary" repairs and "suggested maintenance." My first "free maintenance at 19K (I bought her CPO with 9K) had him come out, sit down all serious and present me with $3500 worth of work that was "suggested for the longevity BMW's are known for." I'm still loyal and on my 3rd.... and discovered local reputable folks doing it for less than half..... I must do something right... I checked the Carfax on my first one... 190K miles and just passed inspection...... ... View more

There’s nothing wrong with paying someone to fix something. Some people don’t have the time. Some people aren’t mechanically inclined. I like wrenching but sometimes it’s cheaper for me to pay someone than to do it myself, as I can make more money at work than the repair is worth. ... View more

If you drive farther than the edge of town, overdrive transmissions are great. I put a 5 speed in my 50 year old Camaro, if it didn’t have the shift pattern on the ball you’d never  know to look at it. 75 mph at just over 2000 RPM. ... View more

I love the Brick Volvos. My father's last car was a '95 940, which I wish I'd kept after he died. Beautiful car, not much power, but a silky smooth engine. But I didn't appreciate these cars nearly as much in late summer, 1973 as I do now. Back then, I drove a 140 wagon Boston to Palo Alto for a Stanford professor (don't remember the year). The car was loaded to the gills with possessions that were fitted inside like the pieces of a 3D puzzle. In late Nebraska or early Wyoming, I noticed that one of the rear tires had begun to leak air. I put some more in and tried to tell myself it was my imagination, but several hours later, it was obvious. I stopped at a gas station in Rawlins to get the tire fixed, as I had no desire to mess with the luggage. The guy who owned the place made some comments about German cars, and after correcting him several times I gave up. Not having a Volvo jack, he went through contortions to jack the thing without inflicting damage. Once the tire was fixed, he admonished me that next time I crossed the country, I should be driving a Cadillac, and stop in his gas station to get the gas tank filled. But that was the last time I drove across the country (the next year I took the train, and the year after that I rode my bicycle). I'm hoping to drive cross-country again next year, in my Civic, but I plan to be taking the back roads. ... View more
