So did I ($12/hr) in 1981! See what return to the shareholder has done for middle class wages.

It doesn’t feel so rare when an old family friend died of it earlier this year in Northern Florida. As you said mosquito protection is especially important.

The engine is filthy. While that may not be an issue for others, it tells me someone is careless or there is a lubricant leak of some sort. Then there is the telltale K&N sticker. That’s probably good for at least 30 HP. The stock SC was not the easiest thing to drive fast. German, questionable swaps, old...total…

Save your money and buy an NA. Finding a rust free example may be difficult up north, but in Florida they’re still pretty easy to find. Recently bought a ‘92 with 89K miles on a long nose 1.6l. The short nose has a different crank/Woodruff key setup which is not as reliable. When we got it it had a bit of lifter…

I take a WAG. You have a wheel speed sensor with an intermittent fault. I’m surprised you wouldn’t get an ABS light at the same time.

The mass retirement is starting. Only it’s not voluntary. Older workers are being pushed out the door. Finding a tech job at 50 is hard enough, at 62 it’s harder. Ageism is illegal. Ageism is rampant. The reduction in stress and BS compensates for the lower retirement funds.

I went to a public engineering school. I graduated in 1981. The instate tuition since then has increased over 16 fold. If starting salaries had climbed at the same rate, the would be over $390K per year. Instead they are between $65-$70k. The educational system was corrupted for profit.

and to think they obviously have no idea of the origins of “This Land”. One wonders if Guthrie is spinning in his grave or laughing his ass off at their ignorance.

Cheap, used, German...does not compute

Why would an elderly lady in Sarasota put a front plate on a car in a state that doesn’t have front plates? Especially something that required four horizontal holes. The carrier for the Jazzy mobility chair is always on the rear of the car.

And cost-cutting sometimes means job cutting.

“If you don’t like the Christian part of it, don’t accept their help. It’s really easy.”
Being as the Christian part of Christianity comes from Jesus Christ, please let me know which books, chapters, and verses in the New Testament discuss homosexuality.

You forgot keeping the steering gear rack attached to the firewall issue.

Also how many are aware that the Citation was named for a horse? Citation, 1948 Triple Crown winner, won 16 consecutive races, and was first horse with one million dollars in winnings. Citation the car, was not as great.

They equipped it with special packaging and zero options that don’t include things like auto braking, leather, sunroof, etc. And they lament in a LUXURY market it doesn’t sell. Self fulfilling prophesy!

Uhm, some of us men are on your side. Sounds like you know someone who is living the hell that often results from a radical prostatectomy. See my other post regarding something we can do to go at this without the courts.

There is another way we can tackle this head on without the courts. Quit buying things made in Alabama. Much like the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the anti LGBT act in Indiana got changed when Salesforce and others stated they were changing plans to expand their business in Indiana. One thing there is quite a…

My apologies, sometimes my humor does not come through. You have guided me back to my childhood. Since I started reading your articles I have been carefully saving and using my bacon grease. While I did not inherit a crock, I still follow Mama’s practice of using a coffee can which after it has cooled, is capped and…

OK, I get it Natasha needs a better hobby, or at least something to do other than point out crap that doesn’t matter. Unless said person threw the wrapper for her food on the floor afterwards. Then immediate execution is appropriate. But that brings up a point my old ass has had for a long time. If the rules are don’t…

You are a good man David Tracy. Give compliments to you parents for me.

UPS is just evil. I have bad thoughts every time I see those baby crap brown trucks. Unfortunately my psychic ability to make the truck burst into flames is not working...or maybe fortunately...depends on my mood.
