I dunno. I used to work as a consultant/contractor to a major restaurant franchise owner and flew on their well-appointed KingAir many times. The first time I flew with them was on a different plane because their actual plane was out having the interior completely replaced because the owner didn’t like the way the…

Another reason is that most of the old rear-mounted engines were low bypass. I’d guess since the modern high bypass engines are fatter and shorter they’re not as easy to put into a tail configuration. Wing mounted engines are also much easier to work on and can be completely upgraded much easier.

Man, there’s nothing more infuriating than that sort of shit. I was once out with my family and everyone insisted on going to a place with a long wait. I went up and put our name on the list and we all sat and waited. After watching people who arrived after us get called up I went up and asked the hostess and she…

The lady in the Morgan I recognize from Pee Wee’s Big Adventure

I was a kid when these came out and I immediately fell in love with them. I’ve lusted after them ever since. Just like current old guys with money bought muscle cars from their youth, I would buy one of these if I ever struck it rich.

I was just making a joke that most Jalop readers will never be able to afford a Ferrari and thus are of no concern to Ferrari. You are the obvious exception to that. And I’m 36 so I consider anyone younger than me to be a ‘young punk’.

Ferrari knows that the opinion of some young punk with a used version of one of their base-model cars and the horde of broke young punks who listen to him aren’t going to be buying new Ferraris nor are they going to influence Ferrari’s existing customer base.

Actually I’d hope for the opposite. If these rules actually had to see the light of day they’d never get near a vote. Most of these rules and interpretations only exist because they’re established behind closed doors with no public involvement or knowledge whatsoever. If the citizens who are impacted by these rules…

I would much prefer congress to have to educate themselves and vote on every single issue rather than spending all their time spending my tax dollars. We elected them to be the lawmakers, not a bunch of appointed bureaucrats with personal motives be they subject matter experts or not.

The bigger concern to me is that this is an interpretation that is completely subject to the capriciousness of EPA bureaucrat enforcers. At no point was this something that our elected representatives, whom we rely on to pass laws, could debate or vote on. No component of this process was remotely democratic. This is…

I was initially puzzled as well until I saw the adjacent mile markers and realized they were, in fact, two different signs instead of a replacement of the same sign.

My oldest is 6 and sits in a booster seat with a full back and doesn’t think anything of it, although he hasn’t really seen any bigger kids riding sans-seat much. He does look forward to getting to ride in the front seat, though.

Many other states have gone to open carry and each time that same concern was voiced and each time it was proven to be unfounded.

“V4" really?

I presume you’re talking about buying new because only a fool would buy a used car without looking under the hood. I saved my mother-in-law from potentially making a mistake when I saw that one car she was considering buying had a heat shield completely missing from the exhaust. Someone had been working in there and I…

I live in the suburbs outside Tulsa, OK. HOAs abound but you can still find neighborhoods like mine if you look.

You’d have to have your own garage for sure. Of course I’d never park my daily driver outside if I lived up there either. No way I’d want to dig it out and have to heat it up every day. Of course I don’t park mine outside here in the south either...

One of the main reasons why my wife and I live where we do is there’s no HOA. One look at my neighbors and you’ll see I’m not the only one. Of my neighbors (that I know of) there are the following non-DD cars: Lotus Elise, Subaru WRX STI, very clean 80's monte carlo, Firebird Firehawk, Restored Apache pickup, restored…

Except its too damn cold to actually do any work on your car and you have to drive a winter beater for half the year. Meanwhile down south many states have most of that and snow-free ground and average temps above freezing year-round.

It all depends on the building. While many new buildings have automated controls that are run by a central computer, they can be configured in infinite ways. Some can be turned to provide full control to the occupants, some are limited to a narrow range of control, some are limited to just a 2 hour override, some are…
