The only advantage to the screw cap I can think of is that it’s easier to get a pristine cap for the bottle cap map I’ve been working on for like two years. All this goofing around with masking tape and carefully prying it off a little at a time takes me away from actual drinkery! 

Well, they deal with it by putting the horse down, usually. AIUI this competition is illegal in the States. 

Car bubbles? No, there’s a fan that runs constantly to circulate the air, and usually some kind of dehumidifier or water trap. Though I bet someone’s done that. 

See, that seems about right for an excellent unmodified one with higher miles than this one but not, like six figures or something. I could see this one going for 10K just because it doesn’t appear to have had a ton of cheap mods thrown at it like every other SRT-4 I’ve seen in the last decade.

I’m generally not too bothered by that stuff -if I found it so hideous that I needed to change it I’d have bought the earlier version in the first place, since the values between the two isn’t that great. (I used to feel the same way about people backdating Porsche 911's, till the earlier cars skyrocketed in value…

People do it, but usually only if they’re already restoring the car. You have to do some metalwork to the bonnet once you’ve removed the bumpers, and then get paint done. Plus, the mounting points for the two kinds of bumper are quite different, so there’s a lot of parts to swap too. (Same thing with MGB bumper…

I’ve only seen random Gilmore episodes, but to me the similarity kind of begins and ends in the fact that everyone talks kind of fast. But this show feels much more like a 30's screwball comedy in that respect - the characters on Gilmore sometimes seemed to just be rattling off words in a panic. The characters on Maise…

My reasoning is that the writing on TG for a good few years was stale at best - since it’s essentially the same people doing GT, they’re probably more of the cause than Amazon, which had nothing to do with the BBC show (unless you’re going to say that TG was bad because the BBC made it that way, in which case this…

Totally missed out on this one!

I have to disagree - Grand Tour is bad because the writing is bad. It’s even lamer than the last couple of seasons of TG, which I was finding less and less interesting and kind of a bore. Same jokes, same lines, it was like a sitcom in it’s last few years, coasting on catchphrases. GT feels like a spinoff series…

Is there a dress code now? High & Tights, leather jackets, and stubble? 

I guess I mean independent instead of chain store. Though Binnys does a pretty good job of having interesting stuff. 

No, it makes it more valuable, like that cat poop coffee. 

I know a guy who makes his own version of this with aluminum foil in his bathtub. Calls it Tinschlager.

Shit on a Bricklin. 

That’s the secret. This grocery store gets gems in (both limited releases and hard to find regulars) and, while I’m sure other dorks have figured this out, I tell nobody.

I’ve discovered that, much as I like to support local stores, the big boxes and grocery chains tend to have the freshest stuff. Binny’s and the Jewel seem to cycle through stuff (even though the Jewel doesn’t have an enormous selection and doesn’t usually have the harder to find stuff, I can still get good stuff…

Might have been fake. A couple years ago I saw an interview with Keri Russell, where she was describing how Matthew Rhys* had to pick out a fake snake for a nude scene he was doing on another show. I only remember this because she said he was worried he’d pick one that was too big, and people would just say “Man, what…

Yes, possibly. I’m not a redditor, or even a regular site visitor. I just remembered seeing some really nasty stuff there. 

ISTR there’s a reddit about this. Or maybe I’m just remembering stuff from just rolled into the shop.
