Makes all her money in action movies with guns.

As a former owner of a rusty Jeep myself, I agree with 6Stringtheory.

Raph must have partied with David Tracy today.

You have wrenched on enough Jeeps by now to be able to predict these issues. Also, get some real tools!

This is the best fucking news yet from the Trump administration. The federal government has used Draconian emissions regulations to prevent car makers from being able to produce the vehicles that we buyers actually want.

Fuck flying. Well, fuck flying while the feds are conducting security.

The ability to liquidate makes sense too. I was really only considering inflation.

I have never been more happy to get rid of anything than my 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ. It was nothing but constant challenges: the mechanical aspects, the electrical system, and rust. It wasn’t all bad, but I spent far more time during those 6 years driving my 1987 pickup than my 2000 Jeep.

At 2%, you should have financed the whole thing and put your $15,000 to work elsewhere.

It’s hard to put faith in someone who, when speaking about car buying advice, mentions “down payment” twice. Don’t make a down payment! You’re just giving the stealership cash.

Don’t say vacation twice in the same sentence. That’s just weird. Call your leave or your trip something else.

I have no qualms about asking what’s cheap. I will drink enough of the cheap stuff to still guarantee a good tip for an honest answer.

I’m a truck guy. My best wild find was an early 60s Studebaker Champ.

I’ve bought her lots of books over the years! I got her a Kindle Paperwhite for Christmas too.

There was a Tron 2?

There’s been several I couldn’t get in the last year. Most recently, my wife wanted to read The Minds of Billy Milligan. Despite being from a popular author (Daniel Keyes, who also wrote Flowers for Algernon), it was unavailable as an e-book. I ended up giving her a new paperback copy for Valentine’s Day.

Oh yeah! I totally forgot about that! I did that last time.

Isn’t everyone? Or at least the socket.

Time is money and letting a machine do all the work is the way to go. Every couple of years I go dump a Tupperware bowl full into a local Coinstar. It counts it and deposits it into my PayPal account.

A little over a year ago, I made a plan to read more. I bought a Kindle Paperwhite. I had a smartphone and a tablet, and I’ve read plenty on both, but I always found myself distracted by Facebook and texts. Also, relying on the phone for daily communication, I had to make sure I plugged it in before falling asleep.
