Considering my Solara has the same motor as the Avalon, I feel a bit better about having to buy it.

will have to divest from them if she is confirmed for the role

Is it a fixie? I’ll bet it’s a goddam fixie.

Win or lose, I am enjoying the hell out of this rebuild.

I want one of those Honda Warthogs.

I had that happen while driving a SWT commuter bus (International 3800) from Austin to San Mucus. Had just gotten it back from the shop where our top-shelf mechanics had rebuilt the motor.

Reasonable & Prudent

On side mirrors: how wide is wide enough?

It’s unclear exactly why this sort of thing keeps happening

I’d expect to see that in Borderlands.

I would never!

As an Austinite: yep. Good reason, thought that’s quite a trip for a show. Blondie, Garbage or both? At least they’re not playing at CoTA like Rush did. One of the worst venues ever for concerts.

Never seen Blondie. Caught Garbage last year, tho. Excellent show.

That air filter looks like a Hitler Charlie Chaplin mustache.

Blondie and Garbage are currently touring.

They could probably find jobs pretty easily with Gizmodo Media Group.

While the swastika certainly has been ruined by its adoption by the Nazis, I’m not entirely sure it’s on the same level as “valkyrie.” That you went right back to Nazis indicates some fixation that you might want to talk to someone about.

Or it’s a reference to valkyries—valkyrja in Old Norse, ca 9th-13th centuries, meaning “chooser of the slain”—and presumes none of those silly associations because its just a cool name and no subtexts.

Late to the party, but here’s a ~2.5 mile loop that might work. As for chicanes, there’s plenty of construction on Barton Springs (or just about any street). Bonus pit-stops at Black’s and Sandy’s.
