I once filled the back of a 71 Cadillac hearse floor to ceiling with cases of beer. It was pretty awesome.

glyph posted:Whatever this maroon is called. Moroccan red pearl? This picture is from the week after I bought it. That's a $3k car. I apologize for the condition of my wheels, but the clearcoat is hosed on all of them so I don't even attempt to keep them clean. I paid almost 10 for mine, but it had around 96k miles on it, which is pretty crazy for a 10 year old car. It's had zero repairs except for brakes... factory clutch yet, etc.

It's a great city but have a job or place to stay before moving. Reminder that 14 comes from the SF Bay Area, by way of Seattle. Denver is cheap as hell. Like... https://www.apartments.com/denver-co/ $1500 for a downtown-area 1bd apartment? Highly affordable! $900 for a downtown studio, it just makes me sick to my stomach to contemplate such cheap rent. Your options in the $900 to $1000 range are amazing Look at this, this is total bullshit I was exstatic to be paying $1600 for a place of similar size and features a half-hour from SF almost 9 years ago, prices have doubled since then.

I feel like if Dave gets ahold of one of these, someone needs to send him finger decals for the rear uprights. Wedding ring mandatory. Because god knows what sort of absurd things are going to get jammed in that wagon's rear end.

Y'all keep bad-mouthing on Mazdas in here and you'll trigger the RADL The '08 Mazda 3s fixed the rusting issue. Mine is just starting to get some body rust after 8 years of Canadian winters.

I once fit an entire riding lawn mower in the back of my Volvo 850 wagon. Had to remove the deck and cram it in beside the tractor, and remove the steering wheel and seat for height clearance, but it all fit. Get a Fit.

Leperflesh posted:Reminder that 14 comes from the SF Bay Area, by way of Seattle. Denver is cheap as hell. You'd REALLY hate what I pay then. $772 for a 750 sq ft 1 bedroom (.. add in pet rent, water, sewer, trash, pest control, etc fees and it's about $840). ... granted, it's early 80s, run down, and far out of town. But up until Toyota announced they were moving here, places like this were going for $500-600 if you didn't mind being out of town a bit. My last apartment was $599/mo when I moved in; it's $1300/mo now (6 miles from Toyota's new US HQ... 600 sq ft, early 80s like where I'm at now, but in far better shape).

Elephanthead posted:That is not fitting, should have just strapped it to the roof.  You and I have very, very different definitions of the word fit apparently. How would putting a fully assembled riding lawn mower on the roof of a car with no roof rack or tie down points make it “fit” better than putting it in the cargo area with the hatch closed??? I ask only for enlightenment

I shared this with Dave and he said he prefers Hondas but I still think this is a great deal, 2zz and tons of space for bikes and gear... These things are like hatchback sportbikes: https://orlando.craigslist.org/cto/d/2005-pontiac-vibe-gt/6386852411.html (We have a matrix xrs and the wife has commandeered it because it's too fun to drive.) wilfredmerriweathr fucked around with this message at 14:29 on Nov 28, 2017 |

This is what happens when you go to Lowe's for a box of fasteners and come across ten solid-core interior doors for thirty bucks, remembering too late after the cash-and-carry transaction that you sold your truck yesterday (yes, I am the guilty party, and the roof dent popped right out)

I bought my xB with higher than average miles because it was a one owner car that was meticulously maintained with AMSOIL, the guy even showed me his garage cabinet full of AMSOIL products. He also pointed out to me numerous times that he waxed the door jambs...Ok whatever. The car still smelled new with 80k miles on it. Also it was one of the very few xB's being sold privately, most of them were all being sold at dealerships and gently caress that bullshit.

Small dealership that claims it was towed behind an RV, which posted the wrong number to call in the ad so I found them on facebook. I saw evidence of a front bumper towing kit in the pictures, so I dont know how truthful that story is as I have never done it and dont know if that would rack up miles

Yes it most definitely would. Sounds like an incredible deal then if everything checks out. I'd ask for the VIN# and go ahead and run a check on it just to make sure it's not a flood car or something.

Flat towing anything with an electronic odometer will almost certainly not add displayed mileage. Edit: Unless you left the ignition on, I guess. Which you don’t do when you flat tow.
