Nevermind.

And they are building so many SUVs in Tuscaloosa, they have to store them in parking lots at abandoned area malls.

Bingo! While watching the ABC special on this last week, I made the same comparison in telling my wife about what I knew of Microsoft’s big deal. IBM had gone to Gary Kildall wanting to speak to him about licensing CP/M-86, but couldn’t make a deal. So they went to Gates, who until this point was making versions of…

FWIW, my daughter would so love to get into USC. She is smart and beautiful and actually does crew rowing. She worked hard and got an ACT 33. Her dream is go to USC film school, and while she is applying for Fall 2019, she is likely not getting in. There are kids out there (like mine) who don’t have all the advantages…

I remember as a kid I would get the jar of mayonnaise from the fridge and eat it with a spoon. Yummy. I’m not THAT much a fan anymore, but I’ll certainly never turn it down. How can you not like it? Plus its needed to make so many great sauces and dressings. Fry sauce, Russian dressing, Thousand Island dressing,…

Ok, so 80% of new car purchases are stupid. How about that then? If you bought a brand new Fiat/Chrysler/GM/Ford/Hyundai/Kia/VW/Volvo/Mercedes or anything else besides a Toyota or Honda, you probably took a butt kicking. The exception doesn’t make the rule.

My last car buying foray ended up in me buying from Carvana. I test drove every similar car I could find at Carmax and another no-haggle dealer “Drivers Way”, and without an exception the prices were higher and the wear-and-tear on the cars was worse. A few of the Carmax cars were appallingly bad with regards to heavy…

I’ve switched over to home brewed ice tea instead of so many diet sodas.  I do sweeten it with sucralose, however.  5 ml of 25% concentrate per half gallon.  We shall see.

Seriously, this is the kind of crap that YouTube, Facebook and every other site needs to censor, cancel accounts and demonitize. These media platforms are much the reason this goes on. There’s no abandoned mall parking lots in the area to hoon in? It’s all for the lulz and video shares.

We will never get a screen-delete option.  Backup cameras are mandatory in the US.  

Doing this is a good way to get shot.  Just saying.

I remember when Regular Car Reviews drove this, they were cramming bags of ice into the grill.  Wonder if they ever took care of that issue?

I had a 1999 Windstar Limited (identical to the Black/Gold one in the first photo above) that my mom gave me when we had our first child. It was about 5 years old at that time. On the surface, it was a really nice van. Leather, power doors, power windows, etc.

$$$

Me too.  Lots of good automotive imagery in ‘Skateaway” too.  I loved that video back in the day.  That Walkman/radio thing looks huge now.  The 80s.  Sigh...

I’m wholly on the side of don’t finance anything except real estate if at all possible. But making payments on a reasonable car isn’t the worst thing in the world. The point is that we do no operate our lives like a corporation where every aspect is a profit center. We pay for food. There’s a depreciating asset for…

Maybe she lost the car in the lot. As a young man on on the occasion of first traveling by myself to a week long convention, I flew out of Atlanta. I parked my car, confident that I would remember where it was. I came back and looked and looked for it, but it was gone. I spent the best part of an hour looking for it…

That’s much better...you almost have it. Volty McVoltface would be my #1 pick. It honors the spirit of Boaty McBoatface and yet is right on point with  what this thing is.

My thoughts exactly. My suggestion would be: “Battery McBatteryface”. It rolls off the tongue a little better IMHO.

Good for Reese’s. If Mr. Sales had decided to wrap his car in an Apple logo, it would have been confiscated and destroyed in the never ending quest by Apple’s lawyers to stamp out counterfeit products with the Apple logo.
