For those with a fetish for a Maverick with the factory Pimp My Ride package, there’s not likely to be a better car out there.  I love some malaise-era cars, but not these in a million years.

Hooters wings are the best wings. I’m seriously considering stopping in to my local Hooters, because I _am_ local to one for the week. When I’m at home, I’m an hour or more away from one.  I shudder to think of the likely standing-room-only crowd, though.

I spent 30 years agreeing with you. Just gimme full-sized pieces of fried chicken, gnawing two bites per chicken part is more trouble than it’s worth, I said. I’m fully on board with buffalo wings now, though!

We had Cracker Barrel (the bigger meal). It wasn’t as good as homemade, but it was easier and cheaper.

I’ve never lived somewhere (afaik) that didn’t have some sort of regulation of towing for police calls, and probably for highway breakdowns too.  Was briefly surprised that Philly allowed this shit, but then stopped being surprised.

There are about a dozen cars in the sale I’d enjoy owning, though I don’t think any of them are in the top dozen on my Powerball/MegaMillions shopping list.

Fourth row on the left.  Red.  Can’t miss it.

I’d replace my Mk7.5 GTI with another one, the best one I can find.  Maybe blue this time, or red.  

Seller is a nutjob.  ND.

My stepdaughter took the BMW/Tire Rack Street Survival class in her E39 some years ago. During the soapy skidpad exercise the instructor said he was impressed by how well she handled the car.

Golf Alltrack? Here’s a VW certified 2017 SEL with 38K miles for $21K, which is the best deal on Autotrader near you at the moment. AWD, sporty to drive, good mpg, great utility, considered cool among a certain set of strange people.

The nearby Polk County Emergency Management recommended that residents turn off their HVAC systems in homes and businesses for the time being.

I’m really fucking glad there’s nothing explosive where I work; if there were, our forklift drivers would have certainly blown the place up by now! While I absolutely see your point about corporate finger-pointing and covering-up, I don’t discount the likelihood that their story is true in this case.

Avantis are cool and unique and significant and all, but my personal list (if I could make one) wouldn’t have it near the top. What’s your #2?

I don’t see much here that’s an improvement over a stock MGB and the story reeks of bullshit. NFD.

If I were the call center employee, I’d have paid the $150 on my own card, except that, as a call center employee, I probably couldn’t have afforded it.

New headline:

I’m thinking of a specific car, but also the general type.

Obviously dealer experience varies. We looked at CX5's and 50's in August and had a great dealer experience. We bought a CR-V hybrid though. The CX’s were super nice; I didn’t like the nav, but I don’t like the CR-V’s nav either. I wanted to A-B compare the 5 & 50 top-trim turbos, and every dealer within 75 miles had…

Kids in boarding school or sports camp. Often from other countries. That’s the situation I have experience with, as the person working at the school/camp. I vaguely recall one small disappointment with the system, but no harm done.
