But Ballaban likes nothing good, so there is that. I like my nachos with fake cheese all while I’m air guitaring to nickelback, in my shorts.

and you know Guy has a recipe for this guy too :)

how could it be imperfectly clear?

What’s even sicker is that he drove right past the Rubicon trail with nary a nod.

Not terribly surprising. The reason for such large planes was reduction in transportation costs, planes such as the 787 take away the need for such large planes. Add the infrastructure costs, and it’s cheaper to fly two smaller planes then one large plane. Consider the A380, how many airports are expanding to…

the EPA just got bitch-slapped for overreaching on a pond in Wyoming; knowing the gov’t like I do, their response will be no response - this is especially true when you have diametrically opposed Presidential candidates running neck in neck. The most important rule for government employees is always stay on the…

Unless, of course, they didn’t do anything wrong. Then it’s just media-driven extortion. Just like Street Outlaws - the appearance of wrong doing doesn’t mean there is wrong doing.

there still isn’t a private right to action (meaning, a citizen can’t sue under the Clean Air Act) - so it’s much ado about making headlines.

I’d take the 5100 and make them fix it. Should that happen, you’ll get a vehicle that passes emissions and is worth far more then 4k.... the offer on mine is 15k, which is about 2k more then it’d sell for where I’m at.... to be honest, I’m thinking of taking the money and running it into the ground (or sell it)...

compensation is both columns. they are offering 15k for my 2009 (with 67k miles). That said, in the above situation, I’d take the 5100, and make them fix it - that means, new turbo, new motor, etc... then sell the car - he’ll do much better

You need to be careful dispensing this advice - there are a lot of caveats not the least of which is floating around with the Honda airbag issue; that the registration gets canceled until the airbag is fixed.

I’d say you just roasted a marshmallow, flambe

We’ll see if the SEC and the Justice Department buy that explanation.

FCA = Find Credible Accountants?

Have you ever tried to live on 8 billion? you are such a poor.

What do you think you are, college athletes? get back to the lab and enjoy the Top Ramon.

and here I thought all they hauled was pussies.

You know, that was the last barrier to my buying a Lamborghini, I was afraid I’d no longer be able to goat. Clearly I can, so I’ll be selling my brotastic F350 (4x4, dually) and getting something a bit easier to park. Thank you Kristen! you’ve again helped out the common man.

I drove a mid-80s diesel wagon for 2 days more then a lifetime. Went 5 miles in those 2 days... I’m glad the ice age didn’t come, the glaciers would have crushed me.

was talking to the Volva poster ;) I prefer gas powered off-road 4x4s because the diesel smell gets overwhelming when you’re stuck in one place for any length of time (such as when I have to Heeps unstuck). And here’s how fastidious I am about this - the 71 FJ40 I posted (mine) has catalytic converters on it so I…
