In Canada public radio is left leaning. So I think that the liberal hipster dipshits producing and listening to NPR look around their peer group and think "hey, this is nothing like the fake Norman Rockwell nostalgia I think I know everything about because I saw that cool retro design expo that one time and there was…

My 72 Spitfire and 63 Rambler get loads of attention from women. "You drive that? REALLY?!? This out what we are going to the beach in! Coool!"

There are some women who fetishize my friends' muscle cars, Jeeps, or lifted trucks. But they almost all like small convertible sports cars.

ld have tied it to a string or something, so that when inverted it dangled in front of her

keep looking

Canada. Ontario.

to be brief: measuring is done by tools. A certain type of tools called "measuring tools"

A ruler is a tool even by your definition. As a design tool it is used to draw a straight line of a certain length, not just take measurements. I use one regularly to draw out body panels. It has a problem solving, creative function and is instrumental in making certain repairs or constructions.

exactly. So sad, hes wildly successful and enjoying himself as he sees fit, rather than finding a nice wife, having 2.1 children, spending his free time volunteering with charity and campaigning to fight AIDS in africa. He needs our pity and worry, doesn't he?

Note people calling this "sad." Piss off. Plenty of intelligent, successful people like to get wasted and stroll around. Get over it.

Hear hear. There is something to be said for the tempering nature of fear - if you have the kind of kid who is afraid. You don't know how scary 160kph in a shitbox is until you do 160 in a shitbox

1991 Suzuki Sidekick…It was a non-working gift. By the end I could do nice e-brake spins (in 2 or 4wd). It handled like a cereal box on its side. Other first car was as 63 Rambler no synchros 3 in the tree. Im a decent driver.

Did they glorify it?

What is middle rich to you? Im thinking 150,000+

The super wealthy have engineered a society where people are content consuming the schlock they are content to consume.

There aren't many "middle rich" people because most slobs are satisfied making just enough for a 60inch screen and 2 cars and bitching about it.

I was working late and I have a meeting to get to. So please, stop chatting and pour my coffee

you aren't buying the car every year, hopefully.

I learned more about what is valuable and important in life from keeping my piece of shit cars running than I ever did in 5 years of university and 2 years of college.

Yea thats my point. Some classics aren't worth f-all these days.

I have a 72 Spit. Its in great shape and I can't get $4500 for it after having it there a couple months.

I think they are cheaper. I know a lot of classics aren't fetching what they used too in my area. MGB in particular.
