This is why I will always drive my 1970 Ford.
Points and a carb. No computer, no microphones, no GPS (leave the phone at home).
Wouldn't own a new car if you paid me.
1994: Change brake pads on your truck in the driveway for $30.
2026: Electronic parking brake says 'DIYers not permitted.' Needs $6k dealer tool + subscription.
They call it 'security.' We call it a software lock scam to kill DIY and force you back to the dealer.
Right to Repair now. Who's with me? π₯ππ§

@smod4real This has been done extensively by credit unions, banks, military relief organizations, and even some state programs during every major government shutdown, including the ongoing 2025β2026 shutdown.
Greg Biffle (RIP) rescued this 70 four door LTD, got it home and running. His son was so excited, as was Greg. Being a bit of an expert in these cars, I would love to get the car and restore it, then auction it off for charity. Contact me if you know how to get ahold of anyone in his family. https://t.co/L90UcaDlzI

We just helped a founder get acquired for $1,650,000 on @acquiredotcom.
Business was a bootstrapped SaaS.
Multiple 4.8x profit.
Took about 85 days from listing to close.
100% cash at closing.
This was a life changing outcome for an amazing entrepreneur.
@iowahawkblog My mother recently passed, and this was in her box of cherished photos. I think the driver is my great grandfather. What car is this, @iowahawkblog#davescaridservice
@Cernovich I bought two cars online, had them delivered. Neither driver spoke English. One was from Pakistan, one from South America. And one car got damaged, never compensated.

Just not the same without the audience partici-pation.
'A toast' to 133 screenings 'over at the Frankenstein place' where 'it doesn't rain the car, asshole' and 'Denton, the home of happiness' is 'just an illusion'
