GRR trapped me for 2 days in February. I realized how it earned its airport identifier.

"So that was your best day." — City Slickers

Do you always do as your dad did? :)

So, after colliding with the Marine, the consensus is the driver should stay put.

It could be a big board, like on Family Feud:

<Animal House> Forget it, he's rolling. </Animal House>

When will we get to "well done"?

Someone named Joe George once sent this mail to The Autoextremist:

I'm man enough to admit it: you roped me in with that one. +1 for you, sir.

However, it's very easy to assign blame to a nebulous concept like "culture," and when you do that you ignore the root problem: the people whose actions constitute that culture.

Reason #11 why I buy my cars used from owners: I don't get the car I really want, but preferably, my money ends up in their wallet and not a person's that talks like this.

It's simple Mr. Dealer: Mr. Prospect will pay this much for the car. You can take that, or $0 and the next prospect that walks in. Sometimes, Mr. Dealer has a line of prospects waiting. And sometimes, Mr. Dealer will take $200 under invoice because > $0.

I guess the minimizing cost is why I can *ONLY* buy Stihls, Husqvarnas, Gibsons, etc. from specialized dealers and not mass retailers. Amirite?

My Fiesta works this way too. But don't worry; driving a Fiesta, I won't be going anywhere employing valets. :)

Serious question: why is steering lock a mandatory "feature"?

Idea for stopping the scope creep: have POTUS sign the "Rev -" requirements document. Let's see some greybeard DoD contractor try to insert their own pet requirements and drive a "Rev A" of that!

Ironic for this procurement article, the DoD spends $9M on a "toilet".

Thirty percent. In the first year, your end should be $3-4 million. And then it would go up.

Wait.... they bothered to relocate the radio head?

For a lot of Coloradans, that's heaven on Earth.
