Yup.

Yeah, it should really be on the “10 Awesome Cars” list, but close enough...

My experience with Chrysler minivans is from the 2nd generation, rather than the first as pictured, but close enough...

Any special tricks to making sure you get on the right train? Or is there only one train that goes back and forth? I live in St Paul and been thinking it might be a good time for a little trip down the river.

I figured there was a reason. The upkeep angle is pretty obvious, but I had no idea there was that little metal on the exterior of newer planes. Thanks for dropping the knowledge!

I think that planes look better when it’s just the bare aluminum with the livery over top instead of a white base. You don’t see that any more, but it’s classy as all get out.

I assume I am not the only person in the world who regularly drives vehicles with both column and console mounted shifters. This is just an accessibility feature for those of us who, like myself, often reach for the shifter that isn’t there.

I really wish that you were wrong, but you’re not, so have a star.

Very cool! There’s a college here where I do some teaching, and they have a couple of kei trucks that the maintenance crew uses for on-campus stuff (no plates). It makes me kinda jealous. I’d love to know who was responsible for acquiring those and how that went down.

You were supposed to find the weirdest car, not the coolest car.

It would be kinda badass...

Dude, you can’t just throw a plastic flower in there. It’s gotta have a carbon fiber stem with a titanium blossom.

Yup, used to sit in that parking lot eating my lunch, watching the sailboats. Sometimes some of my coworkers would fish off the exact spot where he was donuting.

At the 3:45 mark, he comes out of the building and drifts right across where I parked my car for a couple years when I worked there. It’s kinda surreal.

I’m sure it’s in here somewhere, but a clearly excellent choice for girls is Elise.

Apologize if this turns out to be a double post (KINJAAAAAA!!!)

Same building, other end. It used to be Empire Liquidators, which was a kind of shady eBay seller of store returned stuff. They’ve since moved, but are surprisingly still in business. When I worked there, I think NanoDynamics was maybe 1/4 of the building (but not really sure), and Empire was 1/6 at the other end, and…

It was bugging me, so I got on Streetview. Here’s the building in question from a different angle:

If it’s the building I think it is, it doesn’t have a particular name or anything. It was mostly empty and the company I worked for leased only part of it (that company is no longer there). It had a nice big parking lot, though, right on the water (as in, if you felt like it, it would be possible to just drive off the…

Whoa. I can’t say for sure because blur and many similar decaying warehouse-y type buildings in Buffalo, but I think I used to work in that building in the top pic. Guess I’ll have to wait for the full video to find out for sure.
