Well, a full week of auction is a lot less stressful when you have a strong start like that. Perfect timing on getting it listed.

$2200 for that Sambar? Seriously? Oh, hell no.
Just for info, it isn't until a bid is placed that they'll translate the auction sheet. I cancel the vast majority of my bids at that point because something in the report scares me off. For example, on a Pajero last night, they came back with "engine noise" and "AT broken." So I canceled, of course. Then, somehow, it got bid to about $2500 and didn't sell. Huh?
Did I mention the Gloria ship has been delayed? Expected 6/27 now. I found out I can get it myself if I have a "TWIC card". Just applied for that and have an appt tomorrow to get fingerprinted and photo'd. Not sure I'll have it in time, but probably worth having it anyway.

I have a soft spot for all those mid 80s Chryslers/Dodges. The Laser/Daytona was actually considered a G platform car … but that was derived from the K platform and very similar.
I don’t like the colors of the BAT one posted above but it sure is in nice shape.

You are, in fact, becoming the "pro from Dover" (very old MASH movie reference).

You're really going all-in on this, though! It's fun to be along for the ride.
With more patience than I thought I still possessed, I manage to slowly work through each and every dilemma until I eventually had the old parts removed (that was probably five hours of rapid-fire challenges). Installation of the new parts was very fast, maybe an hour tops.
I've been playing around with my driving style over the last few months to try to eek out a little more economy (given the fuel prices, you know!). My one trip to work this morning... trip economy showed 36.7 mpg. My best - absolute best - results prior with the same driving behavior was 33.1 mpg last week. 36.7 included a little acceleration testing early on as well, just to feel that extra torque, so I'm hoping to improve on that number a little in the coming weeks.
I still need to tear down the top end of the engine to address the coolant leak, so that's next on the list ("soon").
I couldn't edit my previous post with the messed up quotes. Finally gave up on that one. Now I tried to respond to @xwesx and it totally overwrote my old post above with a reply to him. Ugh.

Not cheap of course, but what is these days?

Congrats. I like the white with Black wheels. Super sharp.
That should make for a fun ride down when the NYSE opens

He ended up trading it for a Rover, which was the most disastrous car ownership story I ever heard. It started as soon as he literally drive it off the dealer’s lot, and the engine bay started spewing fluids all over.

What can I say, I don't like the guy. I find his attitude, his arrogance, his sense of self-importance to be quite off-putting. The cars I like, the investment in space exploration I like, the man, no.
Another report on the same story:

It's cool that the company he bought has advanced EVs so far that my next car might be one, but it likely won't be from his brand.

Sigh. MB salesperson has informed us that MB is not building any low-roof Sprinters. He has 2 incoming high-roof that the owner has agreed to let us have one of. I asked him to send me the build sheets.

It’s been a long couple of years here at casa de nyccarguy. The last time I posted photos of my basement, it was under 2 1/2 feet of water back in September. While I had the walls fixed & painted relatively quickly, we weren’t quite sure what to do with the basement floor. We decided to go with porcelain tile.
