Hydrox did it first!

The concept of generics was pretty radical at the time. I still get a little thrill when I see a generically packaged product. I sort of miss the 70s/80s.

And you can’t see it unless you have a Yahoo account, who the Hell has a Yahoo account?

Did he get them for zero down?

Remember who got elected as president... most people take official statements at face value.

When I worked a Firestone a guy came in and went off on me and another tech who had furrin cars how we needed to support American jobs and buy American cars. He wasn’t too happy when I pointed out that while my Toyota was made in Fremont, California, his Chevy was made in Canada.

Congratulations, Mr. Mexifinn, on COTD! I would like to gift you with a Ford Focus which this lovely lady will deliver as soon as she finishes whatever it is she is doing.

What does the decompression chamber do?

I fly 2-4 flights a week and with pre-check and such it’s pretty smooth and easy. I don’t mind my right to carry on a giant bottle of Astroglide being infringed upon though.

Unspeakable nightmare? Wow, you must have had an incredibly privileged life up to this point.

And while the “security theater” is broadly true, probably, it’s not like no one…

The way I see it, you’re hurtling through the air at high altitude with at least dozens of other people in a pressurized metal tube partially filled with jet fuel. In a country that not an insignificant number of people would like to see burned to the ground. I’d rather they make things a little inconvenient for us…

most of the company’s value is in their image. changing it could easily leave the company with nothing. they won’t mess with their image until there isn’t any value left in it at all. so, in 5 years, maybe?

For all its faults, the Dodge Journey is still several orders of magnitude better than any vehicle you own, David.

Yellow 1968 Cougar. Like this one.

This was the car she drove when I was about 6 or 7:

My mom’s coolest car by far: a ‘76 CVCC.
