Wow, if anything I’d say he’s over-qualified to be Arkansas Governor. 

I’m with you, I actually thought it was an improvement...

Don’t mind me, I’m just here for the fireworks when people with no concept of sarcasm read your post...

“My Corvette is Best Corvette because only my farts in seats…”

There’s also the fact that it was during a race and the time required to do this would have made continuing the race pointless. They might as well save the wear on the power unit and transmission.

Unfortunately, titanium is waaaaay too corrosion resistant for Dave Tracy’s expertice to be of any help...

Yep, and it lets you know before the roof is endangered and before the shark fin goes “crunch”...

Another benefit to an old-school antenna on a truck is it gives you a sacrificial, non-painted low-clearance indicator.  In the case of a parking garage or drive through, if the antenna doesn’t hit anything you’re good to go.

EXACTLY!!!!  This is a big reason why my go-to sunglass brand is Tifosi. The optics are acceptable, they don’t slide around on my face mountain biking and are cheap enough to not hurt too bad if they disappear.

My problem is that if I spent three figures on a pair of earbuds I might as well immediately throw one directly down a sewer train because that’s how my life goes...

First, of course this is in Florida. Second, if this happened to me I think I’d seriously reconsider how I’ve been living life. I’d probably start by moving out of Florida...

I’m adopting this!

I was pretty sure they were standard, but I could only specifically remember Fords and I was too lazy to look it up.  This just reinforces the utter idiocy of prying one out of the dash.

Your story about the radio reminded me of crackheads prying Ford OEM stereos out of cars years ago. They were designed to be removed with two U-shaped tools that slid into holes to release the clips. You didn’t even need the tool, 4 framing nails would do the trick at least as well, but those dumbasses would destroy…

I’ve been saying this for years... 

You reminded me, I should have said VAG instead of Audi...

Audi: “Pistons made out of plastic you say?”  (begins furiously taking notes)

Came to say this, you beat me to it.  It sucks, but it’s what they were built for.

I thought (hoped maybe?) that the condition of his current project finally broke him and he decided to do what we’ve all fantasized doing when a project goes bad and actually set the whole garage on fire in frustration.

With Ming-Na Wen being in 3 Disney franchises, I wouldn’t count anything out...
