The most disgusting bathroom I have ever been in on a trip was in some suburb north of Columbus, Oh. It was in a gas station/convenience store that looked pretty good at first glance. My friend, his then wife, and I had been to the Springnationals at National Trail Raceway, and I had eaten a ton of the great tasting

Putting them on TV is probably the best way to get this resolved in a hurry. Clueless businesses, and crooked ones, along with bureaucrats hate being exposed on TV. I had dealings with a car dealership about 43 years ago where I bought a used car with a warranty added on. Three days later, the AC compressor exploded,

Nobody I actually knew, except me, was hurt by fireworks, and I was only hurt trying to make my own. My best friend and I had a pile of powder removed from those plastic ring caps under my right hand. Thinking back, I should have moved it away every couple of rings, but I didn’t. You had to squeeze the caps to get the

We had neighbors, the oldest son was my sister’s BF at one time, and they were the big fireworks salesmen. They would borrow their uncle’s station wagon, take their station wagon, and a cousin from out of town’s Ford van, go up to someplace in Michigan and load up. They made two trips, one came to their house in

When my dog Gus was alive, I dreaded the period from Memorial day to the end of July. The bottle rockets were his worst nightmare come to life. The neighbors always had grosses of the bigger ones that would scream and then explode. They would fire a half dozen at once, and as soon as he heard the first scream and pop,

If God exists, Ted, and a whole bunch of his GOP buddies are going to be in serious trouble. 

I hate the rear end, but I don’t hate it more than the outgoing Camaro from the doors back. I don’t understand what was going on with GM styling of it, and the C8 Corvette. 

Good luck with that. I have had several friends, all gone now, who had severe, life changing injuries they got while riding. Only one of them could be blamed for causing the wreck, he was popping a wheelie and hit a spot of antifreeze and broke his leg in about the worst way possible. He ended up getting his hip

I remember every one of these, except the “Apple Juice!” one. I don’t know if that was a regional ad, or somehow I managed to miss it. Anyway, it gets my vote for the worst of all of them. Maybe it’s because I hate musicals? 

You should have seen the lines and the traffic jam when the first Krispy Kreme opened when they reentered the Toledo area. It was insane. You could already buy them in a lot of grocery stores locally, but I guess the thrill of warm ones made fresh was too much of a draw. 

I got one from Chewy for my dog King when he went, too. I was kind of shocked. It was nice. I got cards from the day care place he loved to go to, the vet’s office, and a neighbor. He really loved his women, and I guess they loved him too. Even an “Evil Genius” has his fans. 

There was a guy who owned an apartment building that had all the apartments, except the one he lived in, wired up with cameras. There was a fire, and the FD found out what was going on, and when he realized they were looking for him, he killed himself. Sounds like this might be similar.

And just plopping it onto the front of the dash looks bad too. A lot of vehicles have a touch screen that looks like someone’s basement project. 

Something was/is wrong with that rental car’s BT connection, or you’ve got something set wrong. I’ve had 3 phones, from 3 manufacturers, Samsung, LG, and Moto, in 2 Challengers, a 2010 and 2018,and they only had to be paired once, and after that, they had zero issues. Same goes for everyone I know with any of the

I have zero complaints about the seats in my car. Thanks for the suggestion though. Unlike a lot of people with back issues, sitting down is the most comfortable thing for me to do. Standing still is a killer, a few minutes and I’m huffing and puffing like my old dog Gus did just before he would retaliate after being

I don’t have any kids, or a wife, so I can get whatever I want. Due to a couple of really bad falls and the permanent injuries I got from them, along with all the inherited back issues I have, anything like a 4x4 truck or SUV wouldn’t be a good choice at all. I went to a car in 2007, a ‘08 Charger R/T. I wanted a

There are a lot of PT Crusiers in NW Ohio/SE Mich. I see a goldish one a lot, but I see at least 3-4 a week and I don’t drive that much anymore.

I used to try to figure out some simple way to mod it or get rid of it when I was bored. I couldn’t come up with anything that wasn’t expensive Lexus is worse, the shaver look was shit when a new thing, let alone how many years later. 

All I could think of when I read the above article was when they put a solar panel on top of the roof of a house in Perrysburg, Oh. I was on my way to the eye doctor about 9am, and the panel’s angle, combined with the sun’s angle, made like a laser beam pointed at Eastbound traffic. I called the Pburg PD, who told me,

I rode a bike a lot before I started driving, but about 1971, when I was about a year from driving, I had several close calls with moronic drivers cutting me off, getting too close, or throwing stuff at me. I finally decided I was pretty much done with riding when a guy in a Chevelle SS clipped me with his right side
