Then having stated such circumstances in the ad would be good. I’m thinking that the driver is a makeup stylist. What might be brake fluid in the door pocket is mousse.

Only for some guys it would be an attractant.

You could. Keep in mind that the tradition of “new model change-over product development syndrome” is still a tradition. You get to be the beta-tester. Do you want that?

It’s possible that the toolbox is actually full of make up. And that puts your theory into a whole different light.

The toolbox in the passenger footwell. The two bottles of powersteering fluid. The air-fresheners stuck in the HVAC vents lead me to believe the inside of this car smells like a 2-week-old cheese sandwich, and it marks its spot like a Harley. I owned a 1995 900, and anytime a mechanic opened the hood on the front, it…

Air freshener? #4 billiard ball?

There needs to be a name for seat wear that occurs in this location. Perhaps “Back Fat Rash.” Kind of like “road rash,” but from the driver’s back fat.

These should line up, but those don’t look like stock pedals.

I recall reading in “Car” magazine when L.J.K. Setright wrote for them. He seemed to like them, and given that he’s sort of a saint in the realm of “muttering rotters,” I’m guessing that the folks at Bristol think Clarkson is unworthy of carrying Setright’s ink ribbon. Some of the early Bristols look nice. But nearly…

He should have used more Rain-X.

“Oh no no I need to tweet.” Really? That’s all you need to do?

The important thing to know is that they’ll let you into New Jersey for free. But you’ve got to pay to get out. There are a couple of exceptions to that, such as the bridge at Washington’s Crossing.

That’s quite allright. Those of us in the the historic professions of cooper (barrel maker), blacksmith, artisan glass blowers...we are used to the snickers. I’m keeping America’s whaling legacy alive. It’s for the children.

What if they’re just slightly fat at the gym? Is it okay to snicker?

“Let he who hast attended multiple track days and not spun out cast the first lugnut.” From “ “St. Mario’s letters to the corner workers,” Chapter 11, verse 5.

I look forward to spending time in Huntsville. I’ve only driven through it, but am reasonably certain I will be spending some time there in the future.

Your friends are misinformed. The reason New Jersey has gotten worse in the last four decades is because manufacturing jobs have left. Public sector jobs have increased in number. Corruption has become institutionalized as part of the social fabric of Newark and Trenton. And after 50 years of this, the state and local…

Go visit Eufaula. Spend some time in Auburn. There’s some very nice areas in Birmingham. Besides, there’s tons of ethanol free gas in Alabama. What’s not to like about that?

I have resided in Essex County, NJ for 10 years, five miles, as the crow flies, from Newark. What would you like to know about sh17holes? What would you like to know about backward people?

Obviously, you haven’t been to Alabama. It’s a lot nicer than you might think.
