In like Flynn - I was told it referred to Eroll Flynn, actor and notoriously succesful with the ladies.

Splitting hairs on the definition of hillbilly vs. redneck, i can see your point.

The truth hutrts. I have done a county-by-county analysis, and Maryland maps one for one onto Jersey. Sure, the Chesapeake is better than Barnegat, but our redneck area (the Pine Barrens) kicks ass on your redneck area (Garrett County), with double tha rate of 12-fingered cannibal families. And Maryland has a…

Yes. The expanded lanes South of exit 8 have helped a lot.

You beat me to it. Typical NYC transplant asshole trying to fit in with the hipsters half his age by pissing on NJ.

Have served fondue to my two young children many times. It teaches them manual dexterity and to be careful. And kids will eat broccoli if it’s dunked in melted cheese.

Pet peeve: this drink existed long before the Moscow Mule. Ginger beer and lime are a great mixer, and originally it was made with rye or other Brown Whisk(e)y and it was calied a Whiskey Buck ir simply a Buck.

I get the impression he was more trying to get her to give her phone number. HERE is how to teach a new driver to handle a manual:

Any tire recommendations?

Excellent way to troll and cross promote with a minimum number of wasted pixels. Bravo!

I finally understand the hate! I have never owned one, nor has anyone in my family owned one. But I realize now that my lack of PT Cruiser hate marks my entry into Old.

So your telling me that “Trade Negotiator” is an excellent career choice in the UK right now?

Taurus SHO owner here: i agree with you on this.

Has anyone mentioned this: the current Taurus (aka Ford 500) is built on the Volvo S80 platform. Hence the size & weight. If you think of it as a cheaper S80, it’s not so bad.

I own a 2012 Taurus SHO. Just crossed 80,000 miles a few months ago. Although the numbers are better than the original, the car itself is not in the same league. It’s a pig. A huge, gigantic, heavy family sedan with a big motor. The original SHO was a phenomenon, and something unique in it’s day. The durrent SHO is…

I repeat, have you no joy or playfulness in you?

Exactly! And that’s why they are needed in this world!

You have no joy in your soul.

I have some Viper-driving friends who swear they can be had for $35K if you avoid the extra-desirable versions, which are still crazy fast.

Lotus Elise/Exige, hands down.
