This is true. They were preparing a full-scale invasion of Japan, which would have resulted in massive, massive casualties on both sides.

We were to have a third ready by early September 1945, IIRC.

Michigan here! Yeah the magistrate also mentioned it was unusual for the both of us to be ticketed in that situation. Another officer friend of the family said that I should never have gotten the ticket to begin with as well.

I was 17, was involved in an accident at an intersection where the light had turned yellow as I was entering the intersection. Vehicle 2 (coming opposite way) decided to accelerate, turn left, ignoring her yellow, failing to yield to oncoming traffic, and hitting me in the left front fender as she tried to beat the…

Well duh.. you can dodge them with a Ram. Heh.

It was low-hanging fruit for the marketing department. Ford’s sales slipped because of the reduced production while upgrading factories, Chevy/GMC truck sales were going up in the meantime. They saw an opportunity to “kick them while they’re down” (even though they weren’t, technically), and jumped. It’s easy to…

This is good stuff. Well done.

I love the plastic on our Vue Redline. My wife can’t dent it, no matter how much she tries. It also saved my tire when I hit a deer. Instead of the fender pushing into the tire and cutting it, it just broke into a couple pieces and I drove home.

Marketing and Engineering are two completely different departments that do not speak with each other. The marketing gimmicks you see in the commercials are done by outside firms. It’s very rare that a big company does their own marketing.

I can’t find the clip anywhere, but he did the same thing to Jeremy Affeldt during the Runelvys Hernandez / Carlos Guillen incident in 2005.

But.. HHR SS.

The engine was shitty. Super shitty. 3100/3400 60 degree V6s made by GM are garbage. Every single one needs the intake manifold gasket replaced once or twice. My parents had a Montana with the 3400 in it and it just up and seized going down the highway because the camshaft snapped in half at 70 mph. My wife had a…

When we replace the wife’s Vue Redline next year.. I’m pushing hard for the Flex. I love the things.

Figure out whatever is leaking from the left front of our ‘05 T&C. It’s been leaking for a couple weeks, leaves a baseball sized spot in the driveway, and it’s gone within 8 hours. It’s a clear, odorless liquid, but it’s oily to the touch. All of the fluids are at their apropriate levels. It looks like it’s leaking…

Fire is a comprehensive loss though, and comp losses don’t tend to affect rates as they are not “at fault” losses.

I’m firmly in the “Ausmus needs to go” camp, but with the bullpen the Tigers have right now, I’d probably be managing for extras too. This team can’t hold a lead. They pissed away a 6-1 lead against Minnesota on July 10th. They gave up 7 runs in the bottom of the 9th while only getting one out. How the fuck does that…

I can’t see how that could go wrong.

A friend of mine has a ‘79 that he put a 502 in.. that sucker is LOUD.

Damion Easley, Dean Palmer, Garrett Atkins, BJ Surhoff, Jermaine Dye, John Jaha.

Reynolds was going full Rod Allen out there last night. He kept talking about how he “LOVES THE SOUNDS!”.. I’m pretty sure he was fondling himself during the broadcast.
