After a soda bread incident last year (seriously how did i even), I spent a few days searching for a mnemonic to help with this. Ultimately I used my incredibly small knowledge of Unix to find and replace “baking powder” with “Clabber Girl” in my recipe database (CopyMeThat lets you export as a .txt file) to alleviate…

If you told me that I could drop the body 1:1 over my Velo, that it could be done in 20 minutes with only a Leatherman.. I would max out here at $1000 and only if that included shipping. 

This is a car that makes me think of that Subaru graveyard commercial where the family abandons their old Forester, a model that debuted in 1997, at a scenic overlook.

It is, at the end of the day, a vehicle that has served its purpose. I really hope that someone wants to restore it, because it is a cool body style…

I have been committed to this brand for at least 7 years

Oh boy, fiber tablets! Yum yum. 

Velveeta is expensive as hell! If I’m dropping ten large on cheese it’s not gonna be the kind that gives me mud butt for a week. 

This isn’t MP. This is at the bottom of it. Sedans in better shape are asking $20-60k for same/half milage, convertibles in the $20s.

These were cheap speed and people want to ditch them now for better rates on newer vehicles. They believe value to be based on the badge and age.

It’s too much for a generation that was…

It’s.. just too much, right? The car is in pretty good shape, seems clean? Had a replaced solenoid which.. also good! Maybe $10-12?

People just seem to be asking too much too soon for these.

Canola/Vegetable oil, 100%. Pure gut lube. 

this is the elegance I’ve come to expect from you

Carl would be in the shower, Shake would appear to complain that the water pressure of his extended shower times are affecting the flow of the garden hose he’s using to fill the pool (both of which are Carl’s) and then “IS THAT SHRIMP” and smash cut to Carl just wolfing handfuls of buttered shrimp from the bag

it is important to commit to branding 

put the shrimp and butter on top of the fries, eat w/hands, take the plate and in the shower with you to clean everything up 

There is a Chipotle less than a 3 minute drive from my house. Before Covid, I would there. I would eat there. When I would go to leave, I would get as far as my car door handle, with a Large Mr. Pibb XTRA in hand, and my stomach would gurgle WITHOUT FAIL.

The decision to clench and try to hold it through the two…

As a millennial who doesn’t own a ramekin, what else can I use in a small countertop convection oven an air fryer for my egg?

Coke on the top shelf, ofc

I forever love the Begal.

Grumpy old me needs to acknowledge that, accounting for inflation and materials used, is a far better vehicle than I would have a shot at for a first car. Comfortable, smooth and if there’s any punch left.. great! And for a winter car—an absolute dummy thicc slab on FWD with additional tires…
