Steelies!
When I landed my current job, part of the tradeoff was a 50+ mile-a-day commute, which would have racked up tons of miles on my Ranger while forcing me to shell out a good deal on gas. So I picked up a '97 Escort wagon for $2200. It needed new tires, new rear springs, and I did a tune up, but other than the…
When I was in London for grad school I'd drink Carlsberg all the time, since it was cheap, available at the shop around the corner, and was cheap. At the time, I didn't think it was a half-bad lager.

Ugh, just a few more years of this crap until I can retire to my house in Highland Park, sit on the porch with a cooler of PBRs, and get pissed about all dem feriners taking over the neighborhood. GET OFF MY LAWN!
Nations Trucks down in Florida was giving away AK-47s with a purchase back in 2010. For those of us outside Florida, that seems pretty weird.

Agreed, it is 2015 after all...
Fun fact: the LLV is based on a Chevy S10
