Oh I know; I’ve had 5 GM-built cars from the ‘80's. Sometimes you even get lucky and just have to clean corrosion off the contacts. Trouble is the brittle plastic from pulling the door panels (or center console, in this case) that - assuming it doesn’t break - never quite goes back together exactly as it did before.

This is a tough one... Assuming things like the A/C and electrics like the gauges, locks, and windows work; this is easily on the NP side of the scale.

Saw the movie for the first time last night. My wife had to use the restroom before we went in, and while I was waiting, I overheard that line from across the hall. I thought “that line’s way too awesome for me to be upset about a potential spoiler”

Right? I’m actually surprised and disappointed the key phrase “I know what I have” wasn’t included

Know I’m a few days late, but thank you! I knew there was at least one out there, but the training jet deaths are what threw me off.

Now I want to see this be a thing. I also want to place one right next to a “Hillary for Prison” sticker just to see the mass confusion and gnashing of teeth it would cause.

Huh... That makes me wonder - have ANY crewed space vehicles used for launch or landing had a 0% fatality rate? I’m racking my brain, but I can’t come up with any.

The one I DID overpay for - a 1998 Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT with a 5-speed. Circa 2006, Subarus were not very common around here except for the odd Pacific-Northwest military transplant with a WRX. After my ‘95 wagon was totaled, I decided I must have another. What ‘95-’99 Legacies you could find under $10,000 were…

Half the price, make it a 3-pedal, and maybe -  MAYBE - it’ll be NP...

2006 Dodge Charger Daytona - everyone reading this will say “that doesn’t count, it’s got a HEMI!” Yeah, it does - it’s also the same chassis as my grandpa’s 300 with a 2.7 V6 that weighed more and put down fewer horses than the Isuzu Trooper I owned at the time. Anything that makes a Trooper feel light and quick on…

The Subaru dealers in the Hampton Roads area are varying degrees of decent, yet sucky. One has a pleasant sales department, but the service center is always backed up and the parts department is full of ignorant putzes that insist your engine will explode unless you buy the Subaru-brand 0W-20 (when your car calls for…

These stories remind me of my days working for Autozone. I’ll never forget this one poor woman who called saying that she “needed a cylinder for a 1997 Chevy Cavalier”. I asked what kind of cylinder she was looking for (Brake master cylinder? Wheel cylinder? Clutch master or slave cylinder?), her response was “I need…

This makes me want to fix up my broken 230,000 mile Fozz XT. It’s the 5th Subaru I’ve owned, starting with a 2.2L 5-speed ‘95 Legacy Wagon. It was totaled at ~180,000 miles - it would probably still be going today if not for that. I also had a ‘92 SVX for close to a year, would’ve been an awesome all-around ride…

As a Forester XT owner: Crack. Pipe. Yes it’s clean, yes it’s well maintained, yes it’s got the right STI go-fast bits, no it’s not a good deal. As others have stated; the stock 5speed is inferior to the 6. The 6MT is heavier for a reason, and the reason is strength. 5-cog Fozzies aren’t the ticking time bomb WRX’s…

“Heartbreaking-ly meh” is how I’d describe it.

My grandpa is doing this with his ‘08 300, and I’m waiting for it to bite him. A guy he knows from their church wanted a “decent car he could drive out of town with”, as his current cars are falling apart. I’ve been told he’s got between 3-5 cars that are in various stages of disrepair. So he gives my old man a sob…

That was the first episode I went back and rewatched. Hilarious! I’ve never seen Mall Cop before, but I feel like there were many references to it. And Hunk going all Gordon Ramsey had me weak. Also, I’m going to start negotiating Craigslist deals like Coran...

Interesting thought; fits better than what I was thinking! I originally thought of a scene where Keith has a “heart to heart” with Red, telling it that he’s got to pilot Black until they find Shiro, and telling it to “behave” for Allura.

During the arc where time travel was a thing, I had my wife cracking up constantly - every time something got messed up, I’d drop a “goddammit Barry!”

Not even Doom (music, that is)
