He drove the same family Carolla for 109 years. Do you think he is going to lay under a car, putting headers and an exhaust on something, I wouldn’t be surprised if that Toyota has the original fluids in it.

Get real, Tom. MY suggestion is an 09-14 CTS -V. Show that kid some power and speed. GREY MARKET Nissan? I don’t think so.

Damn. Now he’s on “Double Secret Probation”.

Seems like a lot of old guys are getting caught for that lately (but most are touching children, more than most peop.e?.

Well.....I would.

We bought a new, left over 2001 Astro can, pretty decent deal, had our ducks lines up with our credit union, everything was go, made the deal, when the sales guy started on the credit app., we said, “Already approved, good to go.” He seemed surprised, and while waiting for confirmation from the credit union, I went…

Hwy 101 between Paso Robles and King City.

Mine too. She wasn’t worried (too much) , she was supportive, and (at first) she dressed me funny. Best times of my life..

In ‘01, my mother had a backache. X-rays showed a tumor in her lung the size of a tennis ball, that day, she went to a lawyer and updated everything that she could think of to do with her life. Chemo nearly killed her, she stopped going after 3 sessions, they gave her 6 months with treatment, 1 month without. She…

My aunt moved to the US from Japan, and didn’t learn to drive until she was over 60. My father taught my brother and I to drive when we were about 12, my brother in a 53 UNC truck (with a foot engage starter) and me 10 years later in a Datsun Truck. In the same area, the dirt roads and training areas of an old army…

My mother drove with one foot on the brake, one on the gas. She was either accelerating or hard on the brakes. No in between, 80+ on the freeway, 50 through 25mph neighborhoods, never got in an accident, never got a ticket. I really miss her.

Whoa, you’re pretty up and down there buddy. 18 months the first time, 3 years the second. You make a lot of assumptions, chief. I did not get busted for being an end user, I got popped for the shit I did to get more shit. I didn’t expect that Toad to pay my lawyer , I just thought that maybe, just maybe, a little…

No assembly line brother, I’m Prototype Machinist, Tool & Die Maker. I’ll make the first 2 or 5 parts, from the engineer, then they’ll put them together, send them off and test then (and find out how much blood a baby really holds), make any changes necessary, maybe make a couple more with engineering changes, then…

Not a car, but riding dirt bikes.

I wasn’t selling, I was using. And I wasn’t a victim, everything shitty that happened, happened because of something I did. Although that Toad would front me $600-$800/week of blow, then be waiting for me on Friday when I got paid, then front me another big bag until next Friday. Nobodies fault but mine, kind of…

I wasn’t a dealer, I was a user. Do you know why I stopped? I’m not prison material. All I could think of was, “What the Fk am I doing here with all these stupid fucks?”, and I was rapidly starting to think like most of those guys think, i.e., who or what can I scam to get some money or some dope? They don’t…

Noooooooooo. Seems as if you’ve got our extracurricular activities confused. It wasn’t weed that I went apeshit on, it was freebasing cocaine, a whole different monkey altogether. Weed? Weed started giving me headaches, about 1990, so I quit smoking it, and started freebasing, because I was smart (sarc). More power…

You know what, Houda? Your response struck me in an odd way. I had it hard? I am a convicted felon. One day, about 20 years ago, I decided that I was done. My criminal career revolved around dope. One of my main suppliers made a comment one day, that i had bought the $5000 stereo, and the $5000 wheels and tires on…

Or........borrow $200,000 for your Sociology degree, graduate, work for the county and make $12/hour, buy a BMW in college with a $500/month loan, party your brains out, then screw up your credit because you default on your student loan and your BMW.

I agree. I received 2 tickets last year (speeding, those damn motorcycles). $400 each. I thought that was a bit absurd, I wasn’t drunk, I wasn’t chasing dope or whores, i wasnt out robbing or stealing or dealing or anything else, I was going to work. I sniveled to the Chief of Police, The Mayor, and The City…
