Maybe nobody wants their crappy car.

a friend has her new Outlander transmission replaced nearly bi-monthly. so no thanks.

Lexus is for the plebians that want their vulgar “luxury”.

What sort of hardscrabble reporter on the automotive field do you think you are. Accept the invite on a level that makes it legally, not just professionally, awkward to back out for them. Then start asking the hard questions. :)

This is mine:

One of my favorites was a photo some people took of a menu somewhere in Southeast Asia that featured the delicious sounding ‘Cowboy Leg’ which of course we all laughed at. However, it actually made some sense: it was a veal shank.

That “leave” what? Don’t leave me hanging!

Yes but only for a cunning linguist.

I would have parked much closer to them. Close enough that when they put their car in gear, it would have lurched forward enough to hit my hitch.

Reminds me of this one time, circa 2012, that I saw two Dodge Calibers in the same driveway at a house.

Were you at Enterprise?

Subprime sales. So in a way, yes, its all people who make bad decisions.

And here’s their king. Seriously.

About the worst union out there is SEIU local 49 in Portland Oregon. We came to work one day (security) and were told that the union and our management had reached an agreement for us to be union and that we could join, or look for another job.

This is a graveyard. This would be like going to Arlington and digging up the corpses to get all the gold medals, their fillings, and metal from the caskets. Because the dead are obviously past caring and the living can use the recycled metal.

I year-rounded an ‘85 for 8 years. Between a tube of sand in the back and any tires other than Goodyears, the Posi and stellar throttle response made anything under 4" no big deal. Except getting stopped in traffic for a light that one time going up an incline I never previously realized was even an incline.. That…

Yep, I pretty much save old or worn clothes (or even stuff that’s slightly too big or whatever) to use to work on cars or around the house. Yes, the stains never come out with just the regular washing, but then again, I’m not trying to wear them to work or to a wedding anyway so it doesn’t matter.

There is a thin line between being prudent and being a hoarder. I tell myself I am being prudent by not throwing my wrenching/painting clothes away. My wife tells me otherwise
