I just remember that whole arc because its the first time he really spends time with Anna Draper in the series. I also recall that he starts talking to some guys building a hot rod and he was clearly interested in what they were doing, but it never really gets pursued (like, I imagined he’d go back to New York and buy…

IIRC, Don rents one (a ragtop no less) in California in one episode.

Wasn’t it also his dad’s car? Kind of like Nash Bridges roaring around in an extremely rare old muscle car because his brother gave it to him back in the seventies. 

Almost feels like that should be a Ronco product, not Ronson. 

I had a direct supervisor who liked to use “guy” from time to time. He was exactly the kind of pretentious, self-aggrandizing, lazy, stupid fucking weenie as you’d expect. 

Naw. Bub is the non-sweary way of calling someone “Fucko”. You say “Look, Bub, I don’t go over to the dildo factory and tell you how to do your job, don’t come in here and tell me how to do mine!” 

The Trump one? I vaguely recall reading a theory that they were actually making a Hillary Clinton figure, and rather than start over just used that one as the basis for Trump. Because it doesn’t look like him at all, in a very bizarre manner. 

Nope, just your company. I work at a midwestern based company, and I know that our corporate offices in the Chicago suburbs allow use of headphones/earbuds at your desk. 

I work in a store, but in our office and BOH areas we use IM all the time to reach each other, rather than make a public page. Cuts down on background chatter.

FWIW, in the BOH areas we listen to music on the stereo most days, and we take turns picking. Only rule is not super loud, and watch language for the occasional…

Yeah, he took out a personal loan to help fund March in F2 before moving to F1. I can’t remember if he brought on sponsorship from Parmalat himself or not, but he did wear their logo on hats during public appearances for years after he retired. 

That actually made sense to me. Remember, the kid would likely be using Dad’s razor, an actual blade, and not an electric. I cut myself often enough as an adult that I don’t want my kid fooling around with it. (Plus, blades are expensive, I don’t want him dulling them up shaving the fuzz off of tennis balls or some…

Refugee from Jalopnik chiming in here: but a note about just how different Eli and Billy’s lives turned out. In the last scene with Eli, he is in his garden, in the compound on the land that he and Aimee-Leigh were talking about buying, and blows a kiss at her bronze statue.

Right there with you both. 

Dated a girl in high school who’s car had these - the spokes were all loose so they’d rattle at low speed. 

Waskt the prevailing theory that Joey and Phoebe were friends with benefits the whole time? I vaguely recall either Matt LeBlanc or Lisa Kudrow saying this in an interview.

Man, I have a couple of Margolies’ books, and they are all awesome. This is an amazing resource - I would love if some more actual books of these images were produced. 

There was an amazing, new or newer, Sinclair station complete with dinosaur in the Wisconsin Dells, but I think it’s been closed. I have one or two photos I took back in like 2011. But it was amazing.

Honestly, this is another universal New Yorker cartoon caption. 

If you’re only using the Miata as a summer weekend fun car, and the Triumph is properly restored/maintained, then this is a no brainer, because an old sports car will always be more interesting than a modern one.

I’ve wondered why they don’t, though. I mean, I go to a bar and run a tab, they take my card and run it to open it. I see no reason why a gas station can’t, except that the typical transaction (when not ordering breakfast) takes like ten minutes at most, so the attendants would be messing with that constantly if it’s…
