Oh, it was well done from every standpoint, but sometimes I couldn’t help realizing that it’s a cringe comedy about horrible people who’d raised complicatedly broken now-adult children.

how revolutionary Homicide: Life on the Streets was in its time

Yeah, they cancelled it after the end of season two (the show appeared across three calendar years but is considered to have had two seasons), at a point where it had gotten exceptionally good and all three major characters were at crucial junctures in their lives. No attempt at bringing anything to a conclusion at…

I forget why (if indeed I ever properly knew), but Hill Street Blues took a very long time to be released for home video or reruns or anything like that — something like 20 years. I’m sure there dozens of potential roadblocks, most in the complex realm of entertainment-industry law, for any particular show (and recall…

The ad suggests that he did this as a money input for some kind of animal rescue and training center, and he’s now out of Rovers and shutting down the rescue part to focus on the training part.

Was the Cybertruck driver off the trail “harvesting” a Christmas tree?

This. It’s rather counterintuitive, but chunky mud treads look as though they ought to do great in snow, and generally aren’t. (Tread design as well as compound plays into it.).

The seller may be one of the real or de facto dealers who work the by-owner side of Craigslist.

I understand why rural lads with a row of old hoopties behind the barn build things like this, and I’m sure driving it is great hooligan fun. But if you get tired of it and want to sell it, be careful how many zeroes you put in the asking price...

why would you post his net worth? what does that have to do with anything?

Looks like a solid “if you want one, this is probably the one you want” example, but there are things I want more for that kind of money than a 90s econobox with a very modest amount of engine and an automatic. It seems priced at the high end of what these sell for when they occasionally come up on the market, which…

Being a passenger on “low-cost airlines flying long-haul routes” (per the article) sounds like it should get you comp time in purgatory for some sins big enough to be really fun.

It’s biologically quite possible, though for obvious good reasons not sociologically customary in the US, for someone born when Bill Clinton first got elected (31 years ago) to be a grandparent.

Most news articles don’t seem to mention this important distinction, but the DoJ does:

He’ll get out soon, but will then be an ex-con. This isn’t the handicap for a YOLO lifestyle tuber that it would be for those of us dependent on square jobs, but he will have to explain at awkward moments from here on out that he did something spectacularly dumb, escaped most of the potential physical and legal consequ…

5) Cell Phone.

4) for just one second, gave less than his full attention to a car designed to respond to inputs quickly and be capable of jaw dropping performance?

Only if you’re really, really into what they did and sold on how well they did it. Hagerty thinks that the asking price should fetch a show-contender unmolested P1800 (that doesn’t have a dirty bootprint and an old shop rag on the carpet and a breakaway fuel filter dangling by two rubber hoses where it’s begging to…

Hot take: Worth three grand as a driveable conversation piece, even saddled with the optional automatic. GM sold a gadzillion J-bodies, and they got people around. The main problem is that they weren’t plausible Cadillacs—and that nameplate came at a four grand premium, back when that was real money, over a high trim…

Yeah... It might be easy to get back on the road, or a major project needing specialized expertise. Its status (laid up 10 years, partly disassembled) and age and mileage add up to many known unknowns and unknown unknowns. At least the seller is candid about this (inherited car, and perhaps the gearhead gene skipped a…
