I daily drove a 98 V70 T5 for eight years before it because my daughter’s car when she turned 16. I lived in a suburb of Chicago and committed with it. We finally sold it in 2011. And there was not a spot of rust anywhere. Body, undercarriage, nowhere. Of all the issues, rust was not one.

It doesn’t even matter if he touched the fielder. He was clearly running outside of the running lane. With BOTH feet out!

Don’t you mean corn flake's?

My buddy just rolled up in this, the first one in Raleigh. Paid $3K over.

In 2018, they sold 9,686 and the take rate on the manual was 22%. So that’s 2131 manuals. That many times $3K would about $6.4M in revenue. Between the per vehicle transmission cost and the engineering to develop the one off transmission and all the rest of the linkages, pedals, interior, electronics, etc. I don't see…

Everyday yips happen to me fairly often. One just last week. I drink a cup of tea every morning before walking the dog. Been doing it for years. I use tea bags without strings, so I grab it out using my kitchen tweezers that hang on a hook on the fridge. (What? You don’t have kitchen tweezers? Weird.)

This just in: Rich Energy announced that they are changing their name to Whyte Bull.

Lifelong Bears fan and huge Walter Payton fan, but watching Barry Sanders run was electric. I was glad to be able to watch at least two full games of his every year. About halfway through his career, I was convinced that he would surpass Walter’s rushing record easily. When he retired well within striking distance I…

JJ Watt usually catches a pass or three on offense every year, so I guess the next time his contract is up, they will tag him as a tight end?

I think you’ll find your answer in the article.

Whatever. Watching women’s national team competitions is far more interesting. Too many prima donnas and flopping in the men's version.

I don’t know what you are doing, but I’m on Kinja sites a dozen times a day or more and can’t remember the last time a video auto-played. This sounds like pilot error to me. And I don’t use adblockers. 

Same here to say the same. 

Kanga would have to be a ute and I would buy one.

Those SS bars drive me crazy. You are in a kitchen, if there isn’t a SS spoon within reach, there’s something wrong. I can’t believe those bars actually exist.

Garfield Minus Garfield was fantastic.

Wait, shouldn’t at least one of them be wearing an outrageously garish jacket?

Yep, POTS is the official name for a regular land line and that’s what it stands for. I still have a copy of Notes on the Network, basically the bible for Bell System telephony, I’ll check to see if there is an explanation. I seem to remember one, but it’s been a long time.

Old time Bell Labs guy here and you are absolutely right about POTS, that will likely never get any better fidelity. And as I recall, even the early days of cellular could have had better sound, but it was purposefully limited because the differences would have been way too jarring to people used to land lines.

Just the other day, my girlfriend originally from West Virginia was telling me how much I’d like the Mystery Hole. I was a bit disappointed to learn it was not a euphemism.
