Skinny's switched from a speed shop to a pizza place.

I have an International Harvester refrigerator on my garage. Still going strong after nearly 70 years.

In over 30 years of driving, no car fires yet.  I have caught my riding lawn mower on fire a couple of times.  Trying to cut up thick patches of dry leaves. The leaves got backed up around the exhaust. Put it out with either a hose or water bottles.  Mower still runs with a little melted wiring. 

With the more dangerous stuff that is transported, they know EXACTLY what it is, how it has been stored, how stable it is, etc..  Know way of knowing what sort of concoction this moron put in his IED.

While not strictly a car maker, Caterpillar offers everything from a 1600lb UTV to a 1,375,000 pound dump truck available at the same dealership under the same name and brand.  John Deere is close, but I believe that they separate their lawn and garden equipment from the big yellow stuff.

If you can ever get a legitimate call back number for any of these scammers, fight fire with fire. Take that phone number and sign it up for as many things as you can. I recommend off Marketplace health insurance inquiries. I did that once by mistake and got about 20 call in 10 minutes. STILL getting the occasional…

Also, the tolerances on the bricks are incredibly tight for injection molded parts.  The plastic has to be VERY consistent, which recycled usually isn't. This is directly related to the clutching ability. 

The all windows down on the key fob is straight from Satan himself. I have a 2014 Volt with this “feature”. I keep my key fob in my pocket. I can’t tell you how many times that I have gone out to my car with the all windows down!  A few times when it was pouring rain!  In later versions this can be disabled in the…

My dad was cursed with a Dodge Caliber as company car. As a sales rep he put 40-60k miles/year on a car. After 250k miles that piece of crap drove just as bad as when it was new. By 275k miles it was much louder and the CVT was failing, but it was still going. The other two Calubers that the company bought crapped out…

When my daughter was a baby and toddler it wasn’t unusual to find that one sippy cup with milk that had turned to “cheese”. Most likely a cup that had rolled under the seat.

My car was in the shop a few weeks ago.  I got the "platinum" extended warranty (2014 Volt, not exactly something I  could wrench on myself, especially the electronics) which covered rental car.....at $35/day.  Checked the local Enterprise rates, about $80/day for a local rental.  I borrowed my dad's old truck. 

Yeach the Robocop cars were the plain ones. They way to ID the Police Package is a slotted grill.

I believe that the police package included all the SHO upgrades (brakes and suspension) except the engine of course.

98% of the "period piece" shows/movies get the cars wrong.  They only show "new" cars which are nicely restored cars.  If you set a show in the 1940s there should be 3 or 4 Ford Model Ts and Model As plugging along in the background.  Set something in the 1980s, you need a couple of rusty Ford Mavericks to be…

There actually was a police package for the first gen Taurus. The cops at my college used them.

I figure that Billy got it in rough shape and fixed it up himself. Probably with a lot of help from a not necessarily legal job and parts not necessarily acquired on the up and up.

I went with my wife in the early 2000s on our first trip to Southern California. It was more because we were staying in the Long Beach area than any great need to see a ship.

Maybe they could work out a deal with their neighbor the USS Iowa.   Have the Queen Mary towed out to sea and let the 16 inch guns on the Iowa send her out in a blaze of glory.   I'm sure that Queen Mary would make a great artificial reef.

And that is why the Pantera owners always feel left out. 

I love his cover of Pink Floyd “Wish You Were Here”
