...and if he doesn’t, his kids get life insurance money.

When my husband had a quad bypass some years ago, his heart stopped the night after the surgery, and he had to be resuscitated with the paddles. 5 weeks into his recovery, when he could safely drive again, he figured he’d better get the classic car he wanted because who knows if there will be time later. He got what…

I thought this was going to be a Viper by a mile. I also thought it would have been Kristin Lee suggesting it. But hot damn, the GT350 is a SOLID recommendation. With that said...

My neighbor has an i8 and I don’t think it has the fun factor. It’s too modern and everything is filtered. What this guy needs is a real car. Something that’s still analog and you can feel the road through.

i was going with a bimmer recommendation as well, but i’m not sure his depreciation concerns match the i8 recommendation? even one that’s $50-60K now?

He needs to get the poster on his wall from when he was 12.  Countach or Esprit.

I fly American to CLT a lot for work from PA. It’s a 2 hour flight, and because I always buy the cheapest ticket I can, I am often in the last row, because the last row is the cheapest, and he got what he paid for.

I don’t recline, but you are wrong.  As long as its a feature, no one is a monster for using it.

But then, days or weeks later, you realize you are driving around in a 12 year old Chevy Cobalt BY CHOICE and you have an existential breakdown.

Right? My gut tells me this car should sell for $6,500 tops.

No. No they do not. 

Pretty sure that’s not supposed to be installed inside the vehicle unless it’s a fixed-mounted ASME tank which, judging by the rest of the handiwork I suspect it’s not.

Load it up with red thread locker and just ratchet it in.  Let the next owner worry about it.

No good deed goes unpunished.

David, don’t beat yourself up over it, it happens to every mechanic sooner or later.

If the thread chaser doesn’t fix it, you might be able to drill it out by hand, by just using progressively larger drill bits. Will be slow and tedious but probably faster than pulling the engine (although you might be able to undo…

Because the State of New York decided to issue their documents as they see fit.

Military grade = pre broken. Military crap always comes already broken, because you take the average jarhead and lock them in a room overnight that is empty apart from two anvils, then in the morning they’ll have broken one and lost the other. Military grade means that it is already busted so as to save the military…

Nuclear Grade is generally the same stuff as anything else, but with twice the weight in paperwork proving it is what it says it is.

Considering that breast milk, cow milk, goat milk, almond milk, soy milk, and oat milk all have the naming convention where the first word is the source of the milk, we already should have been horrified the first time we heard the phrase “toddler milk.”

To the pet owners out there who have older pups or those with mobility issues, our senior pit bull was slowing down a couple of years back, playing far less often and having trouble getting up on the couch, let alone the bed. My buddy suggested we try giving her tumeric pills in the morning so we started giving her…
