#1 Maybe Good news...we have been looking into getting a used extended lenght Van, to make into a 4x4 camper. So we can do some remote WNC traveling before it requires Fed Gov. approval to leave your district or state.

#2 When the annual repair costs on my 2004 F350 exceed the annual payments for a new truck, I'll consider it.

#3 I'm going the other way. No computers. Looking for a clean 69-70 Coronet wagon. I'll rebuild / update it in the engine / transmission / brakes / suspension depts and otherwise rip wires out.

#6 Oh, LED lights for sure. And to be real, there will be a computer, but it will be mine with my software on it. No link to anybody.

It's Florida, my AC will rock.

#7 I think the crate motors have done away with those huge resistors, B. But I have replaced my share of them, so I get you.

#8  I will be the dealership, which might be sort of schizophrenic.

#9 Owned a few Dodge cars. Highly underrated....in my opinion. Had strong transmissions, unlike today's Generic Motor products.

#12 If I had the time and money, I'd make a video about a car that would run after an EMP because it used non electric ignition.

#14 Recent story about a guy bought an Escalade V fir $150K. Refinanced a few months later, GM froze his warranty for flipping car in violation of signing a no-flip statement. The geniuses at GM hadnt considered a refi; as of story publication, car is still at dealer, no work being done, in excess of 10 days. No word if that schmuk has lawyered up, but i would. Oh wait, GM hasnt built a worthwhile car since 1968.

#15 One of my barber's customers was service manager at an MB dealership. He said they haven't built a decent car since 1972.

#17 Got a Hertz at Houston airport a couple months ago. FLA tags. Opened the door and the mold/flood funk came rolling out. Several little green tree air fresheners in place. Rejected it hot another FLA car w/ no issues. Suspect fleet operator moved the cars, some before their unscheduled dive test. Would not be surprised to see them retitled in no flood/hurricane storm surge state for easier disposal.
