I wouldn’t want him on my team. Individual performance numbers mean nothing if it costs more games than they win. That’s the biggest difference between Owens and, say, Favre.

Most fun I’ve ever had on gravel was in my greatgrandpa’s 66 Dodge truck. But the hidden advantage was that my grandpa built the road with and for the ‘66 Dodge. :D

This should have been the Toronado. :(

Red Storm Rising 2.

We produce a lot of football players, and yes, not all of them talk trash. But they’ve all got additute because they’ve done the impossible most times: escaped the black hole that is Bakersfield. So it’s also a pride thing. Rick Mears had his Penske pals have his home town listed as “Jupiter, FL” when showing some of…

“Why was he out there talking trash?” “Bakersfield, CA.” I’m from here, and if I thought I could get Pacman to do something stupid with some trash talk and get away with it, you bet I’d do it. It’s one of our things.

Bakersfield, CA.

Engine swap for a pair of small block pratt and whitneys?

If I was in Manila, I’d be phoning Obama quick to reactivate Subic and Clark...

I’m just now preparing to leave 25 years of GM A Bodies behind.

Red Storm Rising. *mic drop*

I’ve not gone more than a year without owning an A body, and I get along just fine.

I remember Hawthorne mall as being really quite neat, the upper part of a trio of malls, the others being Lawndale Galleria and Del Amo in Torrance. All were different in design. But I can see how the dual level mall would just be harder to maintain... but I’ve only walked up and down Del Amo once. :D

Damages in the riots and the earthquakes, coupled with a severe downturn in the economy of the area lead the management company to shutter it from what I remember. Most of the customers by the late 90s were from Inglewood, people pushed south for malls, Hawthorne would go to the Lawndale Galleria, they’d go to Del…

Being a Hawthorne boy, this video is quite depressing. Thanks.

You know what? All you can just give me all the Mercury Milans, because they were actually a damned nice car.

I already do.

I dunno, the Transit feels a lot less top heavy than an Econoline, having driven them both. And the Sprinter’s a lot less top heavy than a RamVan, which had body roll bad enough to make you think every road trip was through a hurricane...

If I could get one, a 1990-94 Cavalier Wagon w/ V6.
