corned beef spot here in Cleveland called Slymans

Of course it takes some classic car effort to drive: Zero assisted anything so you’re going to have to press hard on brakes and clutch.

They are honestly not THAT expensive.

Waaay back in the summer of 1968 as a 13 year old I watched the USA television screening of The Prisoner (filmed in Portmerion, Wales in 1966 starring Patrick McGoohan) and fell in love with the Lotus 7, and subsequently with the Caterham clones. A Caterham is still in my “If I won the lottery” vehicle acquisition…

Not sure why they think $14,000 a week is impressive, esp in today’s world. I make more than that weekly working from home

Our four-vehicle fleet all with relatively low odometer mileage varies from 5 to 17 model-years old. The current situation is temporary. I have zero incentive to sell or buy at this time. Take the long view.

Starred for, “The guy lives in Texas, so you need to crank up the level of absurdity.”

Fuck cancer ... except in the case of Lee Atwater

I went through a way better than average public school system in an upper-middle class neighborhood. But even there, there were many bullies. That made me dismiss a public high school education because so many worthless and vicious assholes were still able to graduate. I regarded my four years in HS as a…

“I took down every photo of my family from my house. … I took every piece of ethnic artwork out, so any African artwork, I took it out. I displayed my degrees, I removed certain books.” Duffy also had one of her white friends sit in on the third appraisal, and she didn’t declare her race to the appraisers at any…

I will sell the resulting Frankenstein

Here was a nice, rust-free, red, base-model manual transmission Jeep Grand Cherokee holy grail, but it was missing its driveline. Meanwhile, in Wisconsin, days from heading to the scrapyard, is a rusted-out holy grail, but with a complete driveline...Starting next week, it’s transplant time.

ZPG!! We only have one and our kid only wants one.

The only ones seemingly having large families are the lower income and Conservative or religious ones.

Glad/not glad to see there are testosterone-poisoned young assholes everywhere and not just here in The States.

Faced with uncertainty, NFL front offices relied on powerhouse programs more than usual.

Probably better than sex, that was.

I’d nominate the 2001-2004 Z06 Corvette for “Most extensive use of titanium at the time in a mass production vehicle”. GM engineers designed a lot of Z06-specific parts to bring down the weight compared to lesser C5s, including a thinner windshield (saving 8 lbs per one reference). The Z06 exhaust system used…

This was super-common in the 60s and 70s if you didn’t get the optional tachometer plus gauge package and/or electromechanical clock.

I bought my first silver car, a 2000 Civic hatchback, in 2004 and drove it until 2012. I ordered my ‘13 Sonic hatch in silver because I didn’t want red, white, or black. I’ve had a silver DD for 17 years now...never again. I would never choose a color based on resale value – does anyone? FWIW, our vehicles are…
