car
A car, automobile, or auto is a wheeled, self-powered motor vehicle used for transportation and a product of the automotive industry. Most definitions of the term specify that cars are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels with tyres, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods. The year 1886 is regarded as the birth year of the modern car. In that year, German inventor Karl Benz built the Benz Patent-Motorwagen. Cars did not become widely available until the early 20th century. One of the first cars that was accessible to the masses was the 1908 Model T, an American car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. Cars were rapidly adopted in the United States of America, where they replaced animal-drawn carriages and carts, but took much longer to be accepted in Western Europe and other parts of the world.
Cars are equipped with controls used for driving, parking, passenger comfort and safety, and controlling a variety of lights. Over the decades, additional features and controls have been added to vehicles, making them progressively more complex. Examples include rear reversing cameras, air conditioning, navigation systems, and in car entertainment. Most cars in use in the 2010s are propelled by an internal combustion engine, fueled by deflagration of gasoline (also known as petrol) or diesel. Both fuels cause air pollution and are also blamed for contributing to climate change and global warming. Vehicles using alternative fuels such as ethanol flexible-fuel vehicles and natural gas vehicles are also gaining popularity in some countries. Electric cars, which were invented early in the history of the car, began to become commercially available in 2008.
There are costs and benefits to car use. The costs of car usage include the cost of: acquiring the vehicle, interest payments (if the car is financed), repairs and auto maintenance, fuel, depreciation, driving time, parking fees, taxes, and insurance. The costs to society of car use include: maintaining roads, land use, road congestion, air pollution, public health, health care, and disposing of the vehicle at the end of its life. Road traffic accidents are the largest cause of injury-related deaths worldwide.
The benefits may include on-demand transportation, mobility, independence, and convenience. The societal benefits may include: economic benefits, such as job and wealth creation from car production, sales and maintenance, transportation provision, society well-being derived from leisure and travel opportunities, and revenue generation from the tax opportunities. The ability for humans to move flexibly from place to place has far-reaching implications for the nature of societies. It was estimated in 2010 that the number of cars had risen to over 1 billion vehicles, up from the 500 million of 1986. The numbers are increasing rapidly, especially in China, India and other newly industrialized countries.

Looking for something around $800-1k, beater ok, but needs to be reliable for my family. Can’t trust the people I’ve been meeting up with from OfferUp, Craigslist and the like. This forum and its members has always done right by me, thought I’d throw it out here.
I have a CHL. I knows it is legal for me to keep a loaded handgun locked in a small safe under the seat in my car, but would it be legal for my wife to drive the car with out a CHL? My understanding is that it would be because the gun is locked with out the key in the lock.
What about...

Greetings,
As it turns out, I've been doing some tire-kicking lately. We've certainly got our money's worth out of current utility/work/do-everything vehicle, but it's getting a little long in the tooth, and I'm working to semi-retire it before it suffers a major failure that makes the repair...
Girlfriend and I were driving to the cabin and we noticed all of the motorcyclists out for a Saturday drive enjoying the break in weather.
We started talking about whether or not we would enjoy riding and concluded that a sports car would be much more fun and safe.

A friend of mine from work's 75yr old father-in-law was involved in a bad crash last week.
Was sitting at a red light in his modified wheelchair accessible mini-van when a young kid in a pickup rear-ended him at about 45mph.
Impact was so severe that it buckled the roof of the mini-van, broke...

I have some extra parts I'd like to sell together as a lot. I'd prefer to keep these together for now but if the lot goes unsold I won't mind splitting it up after a few days.
