I got two “I love your car!” comments from people at 11pm tonight about my ‘18 Scat Pack. I rarely go even a day or two without someone asking me about it or saying they love it. I have to admit, I love the thing, even when the trunk lid conks me on the head when the temp is below about 20F. It did it this morning and…

McDonald’s fries USED to be pretty awesome. That was a long time ago. Back before they messed them up. Before they were frozen, before they took the beef tallow out of the oil mix. They WERE fantastic, but not anymore. It’s been a while since I ate at McDonald’s, the fries aren’t the same, the burger buns aren’t as…

I don’t give a shit about superhero movies and have seen a lot of truly awful movies in my near 67 years, but since they killed this thing, I want to see it very badly. Just to see how truly bad it is. Is it Cats bad? Is it possibly worse than Cats (It’s the worst movie I’ve seen in a long long time), or is it just…

Basically, if I like a place a lot, chain or independant) that has Pepsi, it will sooner or later go to the Dark Side (Coke). The lists of Coke places has most of the places I actually eat at, the Pepsi side has Red Lobster and IHOP, both of which I rarely eat at. The other places on the Pepsi list could go away…

I’ve tried a bunch of the beef substitutes and none of them tastes remotely like beef or anything close to it. I laugh at how many times a friend claims, “It tastes just like a real burger!”, so some other nonsense. She bought a regular Whopper and an Impossible and swears she couldn’t tell the difference. Her husband…

That 13.33 was super difficult as pass after pass got the same results, tire spin and terrible E.T, like 3 or 4 tenths off. I always wondered what a pair of slicks and a decent hit of the throttle at launch instead of a slow roll in would do ET wise. My present car is kind of like the T/A, super hard to launch. I…

The T-Tops did make them trash, IMHO. When I was looking at T/A’s to buy in 1981, the first couple I drove had T-Tops and there was a railroad crossing that went diagonally across a road and the flex those cars had was like, “WOW”. I decided no T-Tops for me and soon found a very clean 25,000 mile 1979 403 Olds T/A,…

I have two .357 revolvers that can easily be made to fire without pulling the triggers. They are Dan Wesson models 15-2 (Blued), and a 715 (Stainless steel). All you need to do is tighten up the screw that holds the grip onto the frame too far, and the gun goes from as safe as any revolver ever made to either a gun…

I’m an old guy, and we weren’t taught ANYTHING about finances in school, at least the guys weren’t. The girls(It was all female in Home Ec back then) were taught a little about how to budget their food shopping over a month period, but even that was rudimentary. The only thing we learned to do was how to fill out a…

I can verify that the location matters a lot. I went to the one location a couple of times and it was prefectly fine, nothing bad at all, and the wait staff was great. They didn’t screw up my order, and that’s something special right there, as my life is filled with messed up restaurant orders (Plain, with maybe bacon…

Really shocked about where Meijer came in. I go there over Kroger for price alone, let alone they have some things Kroger supposedly carries but never has in stock. Some of the price differences are pretty wild, some frozen vegetables, like brocolli florets are over 2x the price at Kroger for the store brand. When I…

That was why I passed on Plum Crazy for my ‘18 Challenger. I just wasn’t sure if I would still like it 4 years or more down the line. I ended up with TorRed.. I never get tired of red.

A friend of mine bought a Red and black Ram Rebel a couple of years ago from a dealer near Columbus, Ohio. It was a smaller store, and didn’t have a ton of cars, but it was very strange to see only two actual colored vehicles in the entire front lot, my friend’s truck and a blue Charger. The rest, trucks, cars, Jeeps,…

Not in NW Ohio. I don’t understand it, but this is like a desert as far as decently equipped cars in a good color are concerned. When I was car shopping in 2018, I was looking for a Challenger R/T Scat Pack without a sun roof, but otherwise fairly loaded up. If I wanted silver, black, white, or IMHO, the worst color…

I would rather eat rareish beef than eat any kind of poultry. I don’t get it’s appeal unless it’s fried, and fish is always better, no matter how it’s cooked, unless it’s Tuna, Trout, or Salmon, then I would take the damn chicken, if forced to. The poultry hatin’ runs in the family. My grandfather had no use for it,…

It was one of my dad’s favorites. IMHO, it was just...gross. And that’s being nice, some of the other stuff he ate was worse, and yes, I tried most of them. He actually paid me several times to try stuff as he thought my revulsion was worth every penny. His favorite bribe Barry to eat thing was some sort of fancy…

I was in my heavily modded ‘79 Trans Am on I75 on a rainy summer night heading over to a friend’s house abot 1989. I was about a mile from the exit I was going to take and there is a bridge that passes I75 over a busy street. As I approached the bridge, I see a red F350 with the hood open, sitting on the shoulder,…

I would love to read a transcript of the meeting they had before they approved those monsters. Every so often, a truly horrible looking car is made and I have wondered, “How the hell did that get approved?”, especially when you think about how many levels of management car companies have. Every industry has had things…

I slept with 3 of them for about 3 years, and in my case, it wasn’t their feet pushing me over, it was their backs. Two of them would sleep butt to butt with their backs pushing up against me harder then their 96 and 75 pound weights should have been able to. When the bigger one checked out, the 75 pounder Gus turned…

My dad would love it that way, my mom would be OK with it, and I would say, “Could you cook mine?”. I’ve eaten in high end steakhouses all over the country, and liking rare beef is something I will never understand. We “well done” people just have a different sort of taste sensation than you “rare” people do. To me,…
