I have a friend who holds an eggplant party every year. She should have this car.

Given all the comments about the new owner’s impending poverty, I have to wonder if they photographed it in front of a sign for food stamps on purpose...

It’s “in” rather than “to,” but it seems apposite...

Just the one car, but it’s handling today’s task nicely: staying in the garage.

Now now, MacLeod, there’s no need to apologize for remaining true to your own culture, so long as you do it without implications of objective superiority or inferiority. So far, so good! And merry Christmas to you as well.

I seem to remember Buddy Palumbo speaking well of DBs—not for him, perhaps, but always winning the Index of Efficiency...

My son, now six, got into cooking videos when he was three, particularly Rosanna Pansino’s “Nerdy Nummies” and Donal Skehan’s videos. He still watches them occasionally, but one of his favorites nowadays is Grant Thompson’s “King of Random” (making stuff, often involving electronics and/or chemistry. There’s also the…

The guy in the video mentions the 40-minute start time, but Stanleys never used flash boilers. Four years after this particular Stanley was built, Doble was making a car that could start off from cold in under two minutes. That’d still feel like an eternity to someone used to gasoline engines, but it’s little enough…

Jane! Mr. Sprocket gave me a big raise! I went right out and bought a new car!

Are the drivers bears? ‘Cause I hear a Studebaker is their natural habitat.

Okay, this is only tangentially related, but the cliche reared its head and I’m taking this opportunity for a brief rant: British beer is not warm. You don’t go into a pub and get a pint fresh off the stove. You don’t come out of a roaring winter gale to warm up with a best bitter (okay, you may do that, but it’s not…

Yes, an ICBM is a self-propelled device. It delivers one or more warheads, which then explode. It is true that the warhead may not detach from the missile before detonating (though they will if they’re MIRVs), but I would still say a missile-delivered nuclear device qualifies as a bomb. Now, it’s true that they’re not…

Are you arguing that it’s only a bomb if an airplane can carry it? Maybe there are differences in military technical jargon, but to me and, I suspect, most of the readers here, if it’s an offensive weapon that blows up—airplane-dropped device, missile-delivered warhead, land mine, IED—it qualifies as a bomb.

For my part, I’ve explained to my first-grader Jewish son that Santa is a key part of Christmas for most Christian (or Christian-background secular) kids, and saying anything to cast doubt on his reality ruins their fun. I haven’t a clue what sorts of conversations he’s had with his friends about Christmas, but I hope…

Similarly here in the western suburbs of Boston, I know a number of EV owners. I see at least one Tesla most times I leave the house (including walking to the end of the street to put my son on the school bus or meet him coming home), Model S more often than X, but several examples of both (as I can tell by color and…

I don’t remember me or my brother riding in any sort of child seat in the early 1970s (I should check with my parents). I do remember going from Massachusetts to Virginia with my mother and my aunt in the spring of 1984, craning around from the front passenger seat (I was already over six feet at fifteen) to…

I like all this wordplay, but it goes on for too long and I just get board.

It just occurred to me: does “Cromodora” mean “Gold-colored?”
