“She’s trying to promote an album and she’s an exhibitionist. Hence: naked photos. I don’t think she’d get a desperate rap if she were doing this at 22. She’s just doing all the same stuff she’s been doing for the last 30 years.”

“When was the last time someone told Prince to cover up and get his wrinkled butt off the stage?”

30 years ago there was also that frisson of miscegenation. That isn’t quite as strong now.

I'm sure it's candy to motorcycle restorers. A couple other "assorted jumble" lots looked interesting to me. One assortment of gas tanks would look sweet mounted on a wall.

Mid-90s. I barfed in a urinal at Berlin in Chicago. Then I headed for the exit and caught a cab, to go back to a friend’s apartment I was staying at. When the cab got to around Belmont and Broadway (I think) I had to barf again, so told the cab driver to pull over, threw some money at him, and bailed out onto the…

Yes, the bikes are nice, but Holy Fuck, there's also a quantity of assorted levers up for auction.

Same.

It’s always looked very plastic-y to me.

First attempt at being a dragoning bottom.

Off topic but, check this out. A guy on Etsy is selling 3D-printed a teeny tiny Apple IIc and a teeny tiny Monitor IIc. The amazing thing is that the computer is also a case for a tiny form of Raspberry Pi, and the Monitor IIc has a working LCD in it.

“I suspect automakers are responding to having to add turbos to everything by trying to make them smoother for those of us who bemoan the fact that everything is now turbo’d”

Well, once you accept that the planet is fucked, it becomes easy to prioritize animals and plants. After all, as bad as it gets, people of the future will be better able to deal with the challenges than flora and fauna will. Polar bears won’t be like “shit, it’s getting hot, I’d better find a trimmer and get rid of…

Or at least a giant lint roller.

Driving this? I suppose you’d drive it ironically by being under 30, having a waxed mustache, and dressing like Herb Tarlick from WKRP.

I’ll disagree with the R8. First one I ever saw was on display in front of a used car dealer in my town last year. All black. Honestly was a little underwhelmed by it, possibly because of the color scheme.

I like seeing the reflection of my Juke’s headlights, indicator lights, and fog lights, when it’s night time and I’m facing a glass storefront or something. The symmetry, and the arcs of the two sets of lights, pleases me.

I’ve noticed that when I see Nissan commercials announcing sales, they never mention the Juke. They must not be having a hard time selling them. I’m certainly seeing more and more of them here in CT.

It’s like a Volvo inside a wheeled landing craft, as if the front end can drop a loading ramp and a normal Volvo would drive out.

Tape deck adapter is definitely the way to go. I tried FM but found it didn’t work that well, and sometimes a nearby car’s own FM transmitter would end up interfering with it or even overpowering it, making me listen to their crap.

“who the hell cares, if one of these ever sees a track I will be EXTREMELY surprised.”
