The recipe is pretty much identical to my grandmothers that she used to make her Soda Bread. It’s the only one I’ve really cared about almost 60 years later. I’ve had some big disappointments when someone claims, “It’s really great!”, and it turns out to be really sad.

Until recently, I would have said Altima, nothing came close, but you then mentioned the present day winner in my book, the little GM CUV’s, with the Buick Encore the clear leader of that bunch. They must have good deals on them, as I see young women with kids(Mostly) driving them all the time, but even my landlord

I guess it’s the same delicate mouthed people who seem to have their mouth shredded by Cap’n Crunch cereal. I guess I have an “iron” roof as I’ve had no such problems with anything I’ve ever eaten.

Here’s a tirade trigger for you...

Me. I really hate the dark green like F8. We had a couple of “Avacado” green cars when I was growing up, and I just hated them with a passion. The last one was a ‘69 Caddy Sedan De Ville, which my dad was driving home from work when he passed out and drove it at about 60 into a pole, blowing a transformer that knocked

My dog Joe’s breeder lived East of the Vegas airport back in the later 70's and when her husband got drunk, he would call the cops and complain about takeoffs when they used the runway that ended up at the south end of Las Vegas Blvd. They built that house in like ‘73, so they had to know that a shitload of planes

Destroyer Gray, and whatever the similar colors by other makers are called, are the absolute worst colors ever on a car, only the fleshtone beige my crazy neighbor had on his Olds back in the ‘00's, and I had on a Mercury Zephyr in 1980 was worse. When I was car shopping, the dealer I bought it from had one Challenger

Have at it! They blend into the sea of “four door sausages” that almost all cheap(er) four door mainstream cars have been over the last decade or so. 

Not really more of an Apple hater than car guy, but seriously, what could an Apple car really do, except cost more than it should, as all their stuff does? A guy who is gone now, he killed himself a while back, was looking forward to having self driving cars, mostly so he could game while going to work. I love

He’s one of my “Oh hell no!” actors/comics. I don’t go to movies much, but he’s an avoid at all costs kind of guy if I do go. Me ex GF loves him for some reason. 

I know an Apple fanboi who would have been first in line for an Apple car as long as it was under $125K. I had my doubts that would happen, but he would have been a lock as a buyer if it did. He buys everything new Apple cranks out. Every iPhone, no matter if his present one has any problems or not, he’s buying one.

I’m driving a newish Accord rental. I really hate it, I can’t wait to see it go away. It’s a higher level Penalty Car, IMHO. A PC is a car that I would just be wanting to see gone. My ‘99 Grand Cherokee was my PC. It killed my back like nothing had before or since. Most PC’s are cheaper than an Accord or GC.

The Challenger seems to span the political spectrum. As a “WTF?” kind of thing, the driver of the Challenger in Charlottesville is from the same town I lived in at the time Maumee, Ohio, and he told me, “I like your car!”(2010 R/T back then) not long before he became infamous. 

My mother used to listen to some financial “wizard” about 30 years ago. I don’t remember his name. He had little connection to reality, judging by some of the advice he gave to callers. My favorite, “WTF planet does he live on?” nonsense was a guy called and said he was a full time student in college, he also was

The most expensive burger I’ve ever had was at some place in Chicago in 2017. I can’t remember the name of the place, but it was insanely expensive (IMHO) in general. The burger I had was $21.00. It came with a small amount of grade B- fries. The burger was 8oz, pre cooked, and maybe 6 after cooking. Was it great?

Damn, and I was pissed back in 2007 when I was charged (out of pocket) $486 for a 500 foot, yes foot, ride from my orthopedic doc’s office to the hospital next door. It was so much because it was “unscheduled”, but if I had gone back to the rehab place I was injured at, 7 miles away, it would have been “scheduled” and

My mom had me buy her the Reduced Fat Jif and she almost instantly shook her head and said, “That stuff isn’t right!”. I tried it and it wasn’t horrible, it was better than the Shedd’s PB that our neighbors bought in a paint can bucket, that was truly awful stuff, but it was pretty sad. Shedd’s was the worst PB I’ve

I resorted to the Skippy creamy for a while too. It’s just not right. I bought a load of the little jars of Jif Creamy, but I want Crunchy Jif above all others. I have tried just about every PB on Amazon and in the local stores and most were at least tolerable, but nothing stands up to Jif Crunchy. 

You got that right. I’m driving an Accord “Sport” since my car (18 Challenger Scat Pack)was stolen a couple of days ago, and I can’t imagine driving something that boring on a daily basis for years on end. Pretty slow, ugly as hell(IMHO), makes weird noises when you get into it before you start it, and the start/stop
