I actually pulled over on the side of the road to take this photo. I never know what I will see when I cut through a posh neighborhood on my way home…

my new series: reasons to buy a dashcam
reason to buy a dashcam #1:
the 1970s Mazda B2000 Sundowner, with period correct aftermarket bed cap, in really good shape, just motoring along this afternoon
I could not get the phone out fast enough

My grandmother had one of these. Same year. Same model and trim. Same color. As the family often said of her with it, she managed to hit every utility pole in Delaware County, PA with it. There was a dent in every panel and bumper, but the car couldn't be killed. Reliable tank.
This 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix SJ has 28,994 miles on the odometer and is loaded down with options.

The 9th one to go to market on BaT in the last 3 months. That's a screaming warning to buyers. Sellers are getting out at that perfect intersection of decent pricing & running out of easy-to-get parts [this car is rare AF, so 9 in 3 mo is a lot & that hampers part availability].
Love 'em tho!

Firstly, cool car. But what I find notable here is this was in service for a decade, and probably under severe use as a pursuit car. What's cop equipment in service for now? 4-5 years? Where I live, local and state [PA] cops are constantly a drain on taxes requisitioning the latest stuff. Fuck that.
This 1992 Ford Mustang LX notchback is a Special Service Package example that served with the California Highway Patrol for approximately a decade until its transition to private ownership. It's listed now by our Local Partner, Wob Cars!

KO'ing everyone's 401k the week they started bragging about murdering citizens in the street on camera is the behavior of people who are on actual drugs. Not metaphorically, it's the behavior of people with underlying mental illness on uppers and steroids who are starting to feel cornered.

Just saw a picture of stuffed animals in the woman's car and man...I really am struggling to find the words right now. This is all just so unspeakably devastating, and I don't know how we come back from it.

I think people need to stop showing up for work. Can't be all people [many genuinely can't afford it], but those who can. Maybe collectively even support those who can't, but who could with support. It's time. Grind what's left of this fkn country to a halt to force:
Impeach. Remove. Prosecute.
