Close, but no nudity.

I’m no construction engineer, but aren’t those blocks supposed to be staggered to make the wall stronger? 

And the mileage and utility of a minivan is even better than a mid-sized SUV!

White truck, heading towards the National counter... I think I see what’s happening here.  Clearly they’re trying to demonstrate the need for stronger walls. 

I’ve got 24 bottles of it at my store... maybe I should start selling it on eBay for $30/gallon! 

If every household in America had at least two or three lobster trucks at their disposal, think of how much safer the country would be!

$10k worth of lobsters is nothing compared to a single Workman’s Comp claim, especially if it involves a hospital stay and rehab of any kind, both of which are things that can easily result from a motor vehicle accident. Also if their drivers were involved in an accident with another vehicle while chasing the thief,…

Well, that might work once the vehicle has been running for a while and has had a chance to warm up on its own, but it still doesn’t address the “first thing in the morning” issue.

One mannequin has noticed the fire but doesn’t seem too startled, the other is like “fire was so last year”. 

Not really a unique situation for this vehicle. There are already 15 year old Cadillacs, Mercedes, etc. on the market that prospective buyers aren’t financially prepared to repair - four corner electronic air suspension is always a big surprise for them. “You mean shocks for my 170k mile Escalade are $700 each?!”…

This is something I’ve always wondered. Especially if you opt for the “cold weather package”, it should have a supplemental heater that runs until the engine gets up to temp. That’s probably the only real reason people warm up their cars in winter before going to work, etc. - not for any supposed benefit for the…

Various companies have tried heated fluid, none with any real success. The fluid is flammable, so if the heating element goes haywire it could cause a fire, or if the hot fluid hits cold glass it can shatter the window.  So warm fluid works “okay” but it’s not as easy as it sounds apparently. 

I’ve found the regular blue “Smurf juice” found nearly everywhere freezes pretty easily below +20 degrees F despite advertising “-25F” on the label. So what I usually do is supplement that in the coldest months with a bottle of the concentrated blue stuff and I haven’t had any issues since then.

The 1996 Dodge Caravan had it! 

Snow squall might come through while they’re shopping in Whole Foods... 

As someone in the parts business, I hope Lincoln sells a lot of vehicles with this feature so I get to sell some $100 sets of wiper blades. I thought BMW, Audi and Land Rover blades were bad enough already, but blades with a heating element built in? Maybe my wife and I will be able to finish the basement a few years…

It’s a great highway cruiser. The thing I personally didn’t like about it were the seats - it felt like I was sitting ON them instead of IN them, you know what I mean? It felt like there was very little lateral support, although after a couple of hours on the highway I wasn’t uncomfortable so maybe they just take some…

I relate a lot to your description of an extroverted introvert. Whenever I go somewhere I enjoy having my small group of friends with me, but there are also times I need to be totally alone with my thoughts to recharge. 

Silk Blue Metallic is one of the best-looking blues out there from any manufacturer. Pictures don’t do it justice in my opinion.
