I like to sit closer too. I was thrilled when I discovered my current car has a telescoping steering column.

You’re kidding, right? I guess I never drove a manual one, but the automatic my family had was hands down the shittiest car I’ve ever had the misfortune to drive. Fuck, I’ve driven an early 80's full size school bus (empty) and if it were that or a Tempo, I’d DD the bus (with kids).

Awww man, that’s the “Trail Turn” switch? I thought it was the “one tire fire” switch! Are you sure? I mean, it shows the right rear as the only one turning...

I still love the look of that base model in black with no trim. Holy crap is it sex-ay.

I understand. I’m 6', my mom is 5'3" and my sister in law is 5'-nuttin. I can’t even get into either of their cars without moving the seat first.

Where the fuck do your knees go?

That would be explaining the reference, which he said he gets, but not the joke.

I expect things will really get cooking after the election. Either Trump wins and is emboldened, or he loses, refuses to concede, wags the dog by starting a war... Russia, North Korea, and other reprehensible nations side with us, the rest of the world sees the farce and allies in favor of whoever it is we’re fighting.

This was a few months ago. The supply chain refilled the stores pretty quickly and there is no longer a shortage. I just can’t figure out what might have caused it though. People making too many hats? Did all the local kids need it for school projects? Was the foil factory shuttered for a while as non-essential and/or…

I hope that as a result of consuming said beans, both her and Jared have shart themselves at least once today.

I’m afraid they will. See, I’m convinced that the US is going to wind up being the baddies in WWIII and either his family will get its comeuppance during the fighting, or they’ll wind up at Nuremberg facing an international tribune.

The oddest shortage I’ve run across was aluminum foil. I finally used up the box that had been in my cupboard for years and when I went to get more, couldn’t find any.

That’s where my mind went, but the Ned Flanders version:

Stargate.

Minnesota, Twin Cities metro area. I’m certain that it is likely in larger cities outside of the metro that yard waste goes in the garbage.

A lot of us watched Challenger live on TV in our elementary school classrooms. That’s probably my first big event memory. Desert Storm was big, I was in high school and a lot of my classmates had dads over there. I remember both of those, but not in a whole lot of detail. 9/11 though, man, I can remember that vividly.…

Wanna feel really old?

Towing capacity still seems to be a little fuzzy. If you go to the following link: https://www.ford.com/suvs/bronco/2021/models/bronco-base/

Oh, no doubt they’re useful. Just... it would seem that the marketing people threw options on the vehicle without thinking about the fact that some of them might work at odds against each other.
