But, like...who cares if they don’t get it?  If you want to, like, live safely - get a vaccine. If you want to risk death, well...don’t. 

I just read his description as a literal “I could have died”. 

I think that your argument is based on a lot of assumptions, many of which were starting to show cracks even before the pandemic.

A billion times better!  I kinda like it with red tails.

I’m usually the one self-diagnosing and doing preemptive maintenance. 120k on a BMW water pump?Time to change it, even if it’s acting fine. Do that oil every 5k and get rid of those brakes when they’re around 3/10ths. Better than ending up on the side of the road. 

They make floor jacks with 24” of range?  Best I’ve seen is about 21”. I’m interested...

Saturn could have turned out like Tesla, Saab could have turned out like Volvo. 

They weren’t selling because of GM’s decision to let them wither on the vine and die. Saturn could have been like Tesla and Saab like Volvo with only a little foresight. 

GM letting Saab and Saturn wither on the vine, leading to their eventual death. 

Maybe they should/could buy a $4500 Dart and mod it. That’s fine, though dumb, but fine. They SHOULD NOT buy THIS Dart for $4500. 

I was born in 85, so by 2000 I was in HS and college. I don’t think I’ve ever touched a minidisc. I know of one or two people that had them, but they were suuuuuper rare. They were expensive and you couldn’t buy pre-recorded media on them, at least not around me. Just the weirdo tech dude had one.

I was so angry at the sales guy in 2010 when the high-trim Ford I was test driving didn’t have a six disc. Like, why are we going backwards?!

Props to you dad. But yeah, that’s like a normal six months any place I’ve ever lived. 

I don’t even understand why they exist. In most cases, destination is the same across the country. Just...add that to the MSRP. Make the suckers in Alaska and Hawaii just pay a little bit more. 

No, NM moving to PA. As soon as NM got notice that my insurance had switched to PA, they sent me a 30 day letter to either switch it back to NM insurance or they’d pull my registration. I was going to keep the reg until it expired, but went and reregistered in PA a few days later. Having NM insurance was a requirement…

This is great information to have. I try to be as supportive as possible to trans rights and really don’t want to offend anyone, but it’s just a very difficult topic to understand when you can’t get into someone’s head. Like, I am supportive to friends and coworkers i know are trans and want to make life as…

Okay, flip side to that - VT apparently doesn’t care that you have IL insurance?  When I moved between states once and changed insurance before changing registrations, the (old) state I was registered in was VERY unhappy and sent many a threatening letter. 

How does this work from an insurance perspective?  Do you have IL insurance or VT insurance?  Because of where I live, I pay roughly four times a reasonable insurance rate for my car, and would love to find some way to lower that bill (though I doubt this will work). 

I’ve come close to getting a Triumph countless times, I’m just too much of a chicken to pull the trigger. 

I totally agree. I got irrationally excited when I saw this because it’s the freakin’ Back to the Future truck!  Yeah it’s the wrong color and not a Prerunner but still. The nostalgia for this is huge (see: Radwood). It’s not even the “collector” or investment mindset, this is a cool as heck, relatively affordable…
