Nevermind.

My uncle worked an aerospace company in the 1960s that did a great deal of contracting with NASA. (Not really pertinent but interesting to me.) He told me the story several times that the executives of the company were adamant about the engineers only driving the newest vehicles they owned to work. So, if they owned…

Last time I was at Atlanta-Hartsfield, I tried to mail a letter at the airport and was told all mailboxes had been removed for security reasons.  Now I did not look everywhere in the place to see if that was the truth, but that’s what they told me.

I’m not positive as I could not get an answer from the seller as to where he got his merchandise, but I’ve seen tubs of used pocket knives, multitools, and various other tools in $5 and $10 bins at fleamarkets. They look suspiciously like things that TSA might take away from people at a checkpoint.

I was in Spain a couple months ago and while walking to my hotel, I happened across this beautiful little Mercedes (170 Cabriolet I think). You never know what you might run across.

This is basically the color of the Mary Kay pink Cadillacs. That is pink enough for me to be called pink.

JMOMIJ is devoid of the prefabricated gags and fakery that is the stock and trade of original Top Gear and Grand Tour. That obviously makes it much more genuine and -good- in a way that those can’t be.

Or they could just weld together flat sheets of stainless and call it a Cybertruck. Why worry about stamping body panels?

I do need to say that my iPhone’s predictive text keeps taking my correctly pluralized words and suggests an apostrophe.

Cheap gas forever!

I know one of my 10mm sockets dropped down a funnel-like cavity in the dashboard of my Lexus. It completely went out of sight and no looking with flashlights or fishing around with magnetic grab-its ever recovered it. That car got wrecked and went away with my 10mm socket somewhere still in it. Sigh.

If people have the money to pay for a car to drive and park in the city, then what makes people think that making public transport free would incentivize them to stop doing that? Presumably, the fares are already cheaper than what they are doing now. They are chasing a market segment that they don’t appeal to anyway.…

You have seen Gumball Rally?  Rolling pitstop in the back of a rolling semi-truck.

The problem with microcars is that they are so cute that they don’t get any respect, but that can be remedied.

Yup. My first CD ‘deck’ was a specially designed Sony CD Discman player that ran on a cigarette lighter 12V plug and had a motion damping spring mount that taped down to your dashboard. You’d pop the cassette adapter into the cars tape deck and presto!, you had CD in your car.

Leave a note but leave it alone.  Now if it were an unfastened gas cap, or obviously carelessly open door, I’d go ahead and fix it and be on my way, but when things that are best classified as ‘repairs’ need to be done, maybe leave a helpful note and move on.  After all, what if you broke it in your attempt to fix it?

Neat.  My son earned his open water diving certificate there this last summer.

Maybe we should just buy Z-20s to replace the Blackhawk.

You got me there.  I don’t fly much, obviously.

Looks like lunch got scattered all over the tarmac.
