People not being prepared is what usually happens to me when I try and use a drive up ATM. My nearest bank branch has a machine in the lobby, and if there’s more than two cars in line at the drive up I’ll just park and go in - because invariably everyone’s trying to cash a check, has to do like three transfers, is

I noticed that the Gremlin’s plates were different from the other cars in the video - are you allowed to keep using old plates in New York state? (Similar to how you could keep using old plates on your car in California - black plates, blue plates, etc.)

Is it my imagination, or does BoJack’s slide into addiction kind of start at the first party? “Well, okay, I guess one drink couldn’t hurt” says to me that he wasn’t much of a partier early in his career. 

You’re not missing anything. In-n-Out is fine, but it’s not earth shattering. Chik-Fil-A is extremely average - I ate there exactly one time, when they opened one near me and everyone was talking about it (before it became a political statement) and the best thing I could think of to describe it was “it was food”.

I just noticed that the window in Mary Beth’s office is curved, which means it’s probably in the clock tower of the What Time Is It Now? building.

Fantastic bit of world building. I should really re-watch the whole series.

Do they not have a Spencer’s Gifts in this town? (Please don’t shame me if Spencer’s is actually out of business. I’m old.)

I never experienced that, but I’ve had to mop up shit footprints in a number of public restrooms at the stores I’ve worked at. Never the men’s room, always the women’s. Had one of ‘em get a fair distance into the store before the shitprints wore off. (In an attempt to be charitable I imagine it’s a spilled daiper

TIL there are still some KMarts open.

I can tell you why they got hugely popular all of a sudden - that was when Krispy Kreme decided to do a huge expansion outside of the southeastern US. Before that they were something your vacationing relatives told you about after they got back from someplace like Nashville.

RE: Cake donuts. There’s a local independent grocery store near me that has it’s own in house bakery, and they make black and white donuts. These are cake donuts, half dipped in real chocolate, half dipped in whatever the hell white chocolate is. So you end up with a hard shell protecting the cake donut, and it’s

I like the sound of Dah Sahnee. Though Walgreen’s own brand is called “Nice!”, which means I could call myself “Noice!”

I might also recommend a watch of “Grand Prix: The Killer Years” for more insight into just how dangerous motorsports was during this time, and how drivers coped with it. (It focuses more on the sixties and seventies, and it’s final scene is super dark). 

Much drier soil, plus, as another poster mentioned, the ground in southern California doesn’t freeze. Freezing causes contraction and expansion, among other movements, which will grind against the car.

This is most likely what happened. You still read about it - an old small town dealership finally closes and there’s a car or two tucked in the back of the shop with delivery miles and a Monroney crumpled up on the seat. And spare parts going back decades.

Sponsorship, I believe. With the full bodywork you see it says “Porsche + Audi”. 

The fun thing is, at that particular wedding, the women at the table were all paired with either groomsmen or something. It was really weird.

My problem is I don’t particularly like dancing, either, so I can’t even be “hilarious drunk friend/relative” and cut loose. I spend a lot of time in corners and at the bar.

The idea of a Chuck E. Cheese’s convention baffles me. All of my friends now who are parents tell me it’s a living hell to be in there for any length of time.

I have a reputation for hating weddings. I always have to clarify - I don’t so much mind the wedding ceremony, which is often times nice and sweet. It’s the reception I hate, for most of the reasons you enumerate. I can add that I often don’t know that many people there (even with family weddings, it seems), and the

He probably had an E80 Corolla based Chevy Nova before that, found out it’s a rebadged Toyota (still built in California) and sold it to buy the Geo.
