But considering the shitty 2strokes that power so many of those old things, an electric conversion will always create less carbon dioxide unless it’s charged solely by power plants generated by burning whippets dipped in bacon grease.

James may and about 100M other Honda C50 riders poo-poo your
Italo-centricism...

Next time rather than a check to pay your taxes, just put in a note saying “thoughts and prayers”.

That has the feel of something the boss’s kid proposed in a meeting and now everybody has to pretend it’s a good idea so it makes it all the way through development and to market where it’s greeted with a whelming “What the?!?”

you know there’s a company out there growing a specific type of mushroom to be used as bio-degradable earth-friendly packing materials (instead of styrofoam packing peanuts, basically)?
That’s the only acceptable use of mushrooms I’ve come across. I’ve had ‘em every way and not once have I ever felt that added…

Costco would be a much less hellish environment if they simply got rid of all samples.  I hate having to try to navigate past/around/through the slobbering herds of suburban sheep all trying to stuff as much free crap as possible into their bleating pie-holes and that was before the whole “I’m too free to ever wear a…

No.
If your actions are so insignificant that you NEED to say “thank you” for your gratitude to be clear then you need to work on your attitude and how you interact with the people in your life. You should most definitely always say “thank you” (and “you’re welcome” and “that’s great” and all that) and truly mean it…

Correlation is not causation.
It’s not that people have more crashes after videoconferencing it’s that now that everybody has videoconferences all the time they if they crash there’s a vtc in their recent history.

Kemp is for easing the restrictions?
Well fuck ‘em!  Ban them for life and put a bounty on the head of anyone who so much as proposes doing business with them.

My favorite car subculture is that one that is just me and my Dad hanging out in the shop and fixing whatever we’ve got. 66 F100, 68 Mustang, 2018 Caddy, John Deere 4020 with a hydraulic leak, trying to replace the bits on a 5 bottom plough, whatever. Getting to spend a bit more time with the guy who gave me so much…

I want a re-imagining of Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom in which Guy hovers in a chopper while directing his gangly kid into various food service based, wellbeing-threatening scenarios.
“I’m safe in air but Hunter is in danger of being mauled by food truck clients waiting for their limited edition…

2 things:
1) He’s all hat and no cattle.
2) He’s still more authenticly “western” than anyone in the GOP.

This is the sort of bike that makes me interested in getting back into motorcycles.  I love that they’re not really leaning into the retro thing, but are very retro and are obviously playing their own game.

Xmas trip from home in NW Oklahoma to Denver to visit family. My parents and I, in their 74 Tbird (lime green with the dark green interior) got out early-ish and hit I70 at Russel, Ks about daylight. There was snow on the ground and it was overcast and a bit grimy, but not bad for December and the ‘bird chewed up the…

You’re more forgiving than I. Despite living in Texas I’m not and never will be a Texan and I, frankly, see this exact light-weight fascism at every level here. Since the election of W there is no such thing as progressive or even centrist, but simple pig-headed right wangery with no attempt to even try to not simply…

I’d say recall him but freakin’ Dan “Pig-Nose” Patrick is even dumber and more besotted with right wing bullshit that Abbot.

That thing looks like a new Ford Bronco mated with a Toyota FJ and they took the misshapen offspring and rammed an airhose up its ass to inflate it.

3 words and a hyphen

First off, welcome to the pony car fan club. My first car was a 68 that my Dad and I rebuilt from the ground up in our shop and I’ve loved the Mustangs ever since, specially the pre-70 ones. Second, maybe it’s time for a more genteel patented David Tracy Road-Trip Thrash centered around taking that pretty pony across…

Tell me about it.  This is the 2nd CHiPs flashback I’ve had on this site in the last couple weeks, too.  Maybe its being stuck in my house for the last 12 months that’s giving me past-life crappy-tv regressions.
