But Jesus says you should buy this car! And honestly, theres few people in Upstate NY you should trust. Sincerely a western / upstate NYer. 

Engineer by trade so I’m familiar with the equation and knew what it meant. It’s just that unlike most flying machines my pathetic attempt at a joke failed to land...

This. This is what makes this site awesome to visit.

I’m just tired of driving boring cars in the winter because I’m afraid to rust out cool ones.

I’ve decided I’m going to drive cool cars all year round; life is too short.

I’m just going to make sure that the cool cars I drive in the winter are already too far gone. Yes, this Valiant has good main frame rails, but…

My niece and nephew (6 and 8) were playing around in my ‘97 Ranger, enjoying the novelty of the fold-down rumble seats in the extended cab, and were just completely flummoxed by the manual windows. Just amazed.  Then the niece’s eyes lit up as she connected the dots and said, “Oh, so that’s why they call it rolling…

Perhaps the dealers used one of these names which would have made it a dead giveaway

Tracy is going to grow up to be some wide-eyed kid’s weird uncle. I mean, the kid is going to go to school, and he is going to have stories.

Note: the train number is “7/27” because the “27” half splits from the “7” half in Spokane, with “27” going to Portland. It was the “27” cars that all went on their sides.

Tough to say without being qualified on the territory, but there are a few plausible explanations. The one certainty is that is was at a signal, meaning it was at least controlled territory. With that being said:

“At night people tend to turn the lights on”, proof you haven’t driven in the US

I would agree that the direction the vehicle is pointing is not information needed to be provided by the side markers lamps.

It’s both impressive and scary at how hard it hit and how little damage was done to it.

Jason, you may have to make room in your trophy case for a Nobel Peace Prize.

This is some good Torchlopnik.
