I think your Dad was trying to toughen you up - I can’t think of any other earthly reason ti trade in a Jag - almost any Jag - for a Princess

Barkeep! A pint of Best Bitter for me, and one for my horse!

I remember the same thing - All our cars at the time had vinyl. The Princess’ interior was pimp

My neighbor used to have a couple of Austin Princesses. They were pretty decent cars* IIRC

Mother of god - climb the stairs instead of taking the elevator. Walk a couple of hundred yards to the grocery store instead of driving. The problem isn’t that people don’t have space or wherewithal to engage in exercise, it’s that people are unwilling to make even the slightest effort to get exercise. People…

Next we’ll hear about the tons of yellowcake and aluminum tubes heading to Caracas - time to saddle up, Boys!!

Thank god - now the MAGAts in Ohio and Wisconsin can sleep soundly, without being murdered in their beds by hordes swarming across the southern border

Fair point. I think it’s fair to say that the 968 was the ultimate evolution of the 944. I still think the frog eye lights were a bit of a styling misstep. Wouldn’t mind a 968 though. There’s a dark blue convertible near my house, and it’s a fine looking car in the flesh.

even $14K is too much for an auto Miata. All those tears shed over what might have been can make the steering wheel slippery

The 944 S2 has the same 3 liter four, but IMO it’s a way more cohesive design than the 968. The frog-eye popup lights fit well with the general roundness of the 928, but just look odd on what’s otherwise a 944 body. Standard popups are where it’s at as far as the 944 is concerned.

Yum!

“Almost entirely rust free” sounds like over-wordy evasion to me. Combined with the “god knows what’s under there” wrap, easily fixed, yet unfixed carb issues, cracked screen and Tyvek suit-worthy interior. I like Wagoneers, but this one has too much going for it - in the wrong direction

Excellent explanation. I’ve always used “heat the outer, chill the inner” to help a too-tight press fit along, but your illustrations explain very well why this works.

Something with Mark Wahlberg in it. Haven’t seen it - sounds shite

Don’t forget “6. Be Best”

Donnie has substance. KFC grease and Diet Coke are technically substances...

Ah, it’ll be American Carnage, Vol II

I wouldn’t call ~$15k inexpensive for what is essentially an enclosed electric trike. For similar money I could get a new Hyundai Accent, seats 5, 6MT, 100k warranty.

I’ve always done my own taxes, initially on paper, but then by TurboTax and my tax situation became more complex. One year I moved twice, and between states, cities and townships, I was faced with 7 returns. I ended up paying H&R Block ~$400 to sort the mess out, which was well worth it that one time

I’m fine with this. If we can ultimately arrange all Republicans into a large circular firing squad, that would be a good thing
