1971 Super Beetle.

I dunno. I had a Houston MC cop get a ticket dismissed after he wrote it because I was polite and respectful. He came back to my car and said to take it to court and he’d get it dismissed. “You have a good attitude and I appreciate it. We need more people like you on the road.” And I was barely 21 or 22.

Moving along on the freeway about 12:30 am. In far-left lane and my exit is coming up. For some reason, I’m stuck in a Charlie Foxtrot at that wee hour. Indicator isn’t helping, and I’m boxed-in. The chucklefuck in front of me is going below the limit and refuses to get out of the way, and naturally the center lane…

Nothing like a happy ending. If it were me, I’d never get rid of that little beast. It’d be my daily driver any day it was running. My Solara would just sit and collect oak pollen and grackle shit. Sure, I’d have to add 30 minutes to my daily commute and I’d have to stay off 35, but so what?

Yeah, rub it in, whydon’tcha

It’s a close race between my ‘04 4Runner and my ‘88 Toyota pickup; I’d love to have either one again. That little truck is what sold me on Toyota, after dealing with about a half-dozen ‘70-’80's American crapcans.

I would almost certainly get a Tesla pickup. But I’m afraid your timeline, probably accurate if not far too conservative, made me realize I’ll be dead before I have the opportunity.

My gf just got a Mazda3 hatch, after totaling her Civic over xmas, after totaling her ‘02 MisterTwo the year before.

So stuffed from last night’s Seder... have some more Passover music:

I went downtown for the first F1 in Austin, just as a lookie-loo to see what all the hoo-raw was about.

Now, now. Not everybody can be a not-nice dude. Cut him some slack.

Wow. They were serious about keeping the riff-raff out, getting a sniper.

Since its not listed on the CoTA Events page, I’m guessing this was closed to anyone but the FilthyRich and whoever was “lucky” enough to get invited.

$750 for a two-seater is reasonable?

Yes, it might. Although all plastic shit is kind of cringey. Looking again, maybe a different paint scheme is all it would need.
