Starred for Top Secret reference.

From the ad:

Those are general maintenance bots, most often used for painting and clearing clogged toilets.

I thought it was Industrial Automaton (no i).

This is good Kinja.

I remember a ton of different stupid signs mocking the Baby On Board trend. The ones that stick in my mind are a pair of signs I saw in a truck window. “DAMN, I’M GOOD” behind the driver and “HELL, I’M BETTER” behind the passenger. Seems like it would’ve been around 1986.

I came looking for this, and can’t believe I had to go so far down in the comments to find it.

I have the knock-off from one of the hubcaps of my dad’s ‘62 Corvette at home. He lost the hubcap one afternoon, and went to the dealer to get a replacement. They forced him to buy all 4, then took his 3 remaining hubcaps off his car so he just had the 4 new ones. The knockoffs were screwed to the hubcaps, so they…

So very much this.

So very much this.

I’d forgotten about the “Get on your Pontiac and ride!” campaign.

Absolutely valid point, and one that many in this discussion are completely ignoring.

I don’t like HOAs either. I also don’t live in a neighborhood that has one.

You don’t get appraisal value for a house you sell. You get what someone else is willing to pay. By the same token, this is why bidding wars happen. Sometimes home prices go up, sometimes they go down.

Man...if only they’d create something like that for the other passengers as well...

My ‘15 Accord EX doesn’t use steps, in my experience. It pretty much revs up to ~2800 RPM and stays there throughout gentle acceleration (driving in city traffic), then drops to <1500 RPM at city-street-cruising speed. On the highway it goes up to ~3500 RPM and stays there during acceleration unless I really flog it,…

1986 Honda Civic Si. 129K miles. It was the first car I bought on my own.

DAJIBAN!

I think the greatest thing about this is that if I told 99.99999% of people in New York where I lived, they’d say “Where?” Honestly, you probably would, too...except for the fact that you have video taken on several of the same roads I drove when I was learning.

I very much love this thing, but there’s no way I’d consider spending that unless I literally couldn’t think of anything else to spend that much spare cash on.
