May the fruits of your labor (day) roll into the yard on four fully inflated tires and find shade under a mighty tree, on solid ground, free of mischievous wire-munching chipmunks. May your cooler stay filled, and the grill fired up, with a spare propane cylinder at the ready, and an epic playlist that runs on and on and on.

that accord hatchback is a time capsule, 89k miles is nothing for that thing

1982 RX7 Manual Supposedly runs and looks okay + clean title

1969 Subaru 360 Literally had never heard of that model before

Manual Xterra is tempting. Little too far away from me though

Those are some cool finds! I love the idea of restoring a classic like that Thunderbird.

Half the fun of these threads is realizing how much weird stuff is just parked a few blocks from you that never noticed

I live in the area and saw the Porsche listed, and knew it would show up here!
