Have they brought back The Price Is Right yet? Cause it looks like they spent a lot on the set for that one.

I am amazed that two people took that seriously.

It should be a 1970 Ford Torino sportsroof, painted Grabber Blue, with Torq-Thrusts, the American flag on the roof, the number 10 on the sides, and the horn plays “Whip It” by Devo.

there’s such a glut of them out there, there’s just a lot of hop bomb beers out there that taste just like that

Its a local place but I found out they don’t rely on tips at the takeout counter either. They’re not waitstaff.

I’ve wondered about this myself, because the pizza place I go to does the same thing with pickup orders. And, I’m pretty sure the people working that counter aren’t doubling up as waitstaff in the dining room, their only job is to run a cash register and hand me a pizza from a shelf two feet away.

This is how a friend of mine (a former flight attendant) describes flying. People and the airlines just treat it like riding the bus across town - cram everyone in and try not to start a fight.

When I were a lad, people would purposely buy these things oversized, and have a big old flap of belt that hung down instead of staying neatly inside the belt loop. We called them “dickbelts”, and were always worn by the kind of guy who had at least one visible gold chain and wore racy spring break t shirts in high…

That’s the one I usually get. Because I’m terribly immature, i always answer with some form of “Yeah, after I boned your Mom/sister/wife last night she told me how much she likes it”. These dumb fuckers never see it coming.

No, it’s a pretty good choice. These cars, while perfectly nice, are pretty boring, even now when they’re scarce and you might stop and look at one because you haven’t seen on in a long time. Sticking Triumph badges on them didn’t make them more interesting.

The novel’s pretty good - I read it when it first came out like twenty years ago. I think there was a second one in the series, and I recall wishing that the author would write another one, but it never happened.

Yeah - I’m not surprised GM had a car with headlamp washers back then. I am surprised they offered it on a Chevrolet - I’d expect it on a Cadillac, or maybe a Buick or Olds, something a little higher up the ladder.

‘Cause they’re waiting for me
Looking for me
Every single night
When I try to climb a pole
Those men with o -le -oooooo!

No, that’s the optional window so you can watch the sprayer in action.

Yeah, that’s what surprised me. I’d expect that on something real expensive, not a Chevy.

Hang a tennis ball on a string and there’s no problem.

You’d have a point if this had happened once or twice - but it went on for years. A slap on the wrist isn’t going to make them stop, it’ll just make them work a little harder to hide it.

VW Beetles. Both my dad and my grandfather had Bugs at the same time, back in the late 70's and early 80's. Dad’s was red and granddad’s was black, both were ‘67's. My grandmother made awesome seat covers for both cars, of some material that was black and red checkerboard, with the suits from a deck of cards in the…

Isn’t the bigger story here the surprise reveal of a new Gordon-Keeble?

Around here in the Midwest they’re kind of hard to find these days. Mechanically they lasted well but mist if they have rusted away to nothing. I haven’t seen one on the road in years, and if there are any nice ones they’re hidden away.
