Yeah, great car, but the seller is nuts, in more ways than one. That ad is truly almost impossible to read, and reeks of desperation in a hilarious way :

Yeah, while it is very well presented, it just is not worth what he is asking. Someone in the Pacific Northwest had two of these wagons in very good condition, (though not quite this nice) and were selling each for around $7k. Either he is angling for a museum to buy it, or he needs to come down in price.

or eliminating the programs

Yeah, that was my thought too - someone on the inside had to know what was in the trucks. No way would someone risk that for some produce or cases of toilet paper.

You pull the tiger’s tail, you get the teeth. Physics doesn’t lie.

I’m down with your solution of everyone needing to pay more. In particular, let’s raise the SSI amount by a few fractions of a percent and also remove the wage base cap on it, so that those making over ~$120k still continue to incrementally pay into it. Social Security was solvent and taking in more than it paid out…

Yeah, this is partially what Trump and Co. were doing in opening up Bears Ears and Grand Staircase to resource extraction. While there is not much oil or coal in the area, there is uranium and some rare earth minerals.

I agree - I think term limits would be far more useful than age limits. Realistically, it is always the ones who have been in office forever that wind up serving into their 80s or 90s.

Yeah, that is among many things I don’t understand about people who want guns around with them at all times. Isn’t it uncomfortable having to constantly be sitting on/ adjusting that damn piece of metal? And in bed? Is there not a nightstand (with a lock) that they could stash the piece in?

I’ve only ever been mugged in Europe and used a version of this, though unintentionally. I had small bills in my coat pocket, which a group of young dudes managed to liberate from me in a scuffle before I ran up some stairs. Later, I noticed that my back pants pocket had also been cut, though I still had my cell phone…

Yeah, I kind of feel that some moments should be private - while we are conditioned to wanting to see drama, it is not healthy for the subject. We don’t need to see everything. His final line : “ I just need to go unpack all this shit. Then I’ll feel better” can be taken in multiple ways.

Yeah, watching too many AmmoNYC videos will infect your brain and lead you to spend way too much on detailing supplies... I was stricken with the disease a couple years ago, but have recovered a bit. Still am continually amazed watching Larry K. work.

Umm....where do you buy that. I want one!

Really, this article should be titled : Our Elected Officials Must Give Black Children 2nd Chances. Because we know there are racial disparities in how youth are sentenced as adults. http://www.sentencingproject.org/publications/juvenile-life-without-parole/

Man, I only wish I knew what that felt like...The only time I have ever truly lived without too much stuff was a year traveling/working in Europe, where I flew in with a huge duffle bag and purchased very little.

Left off the list but a good contender : Toyota Matrix / Pontiac Vibe AWD. Much of the same positive points as the Suzuki, just a little larger. There are a couple for sale in Portland at the moment. Here is one way below your budget - drive it for a couple years and sell for what you bought it for! (Edit - I see she…

Nope - don’t get a Subaru in Portland unless you want it to be stolen and used as a residence for a couple weeks. Oh, don’t worry, you will get it back...filled with miscellaneous signs of drug use and deprivation. Seriously, Subarus are among the most stolen cars in this town. Get anything else.

On my older cars, I don’t even trust “touchless” washes. They have to push super high pressure water out of the jets in order to work properly, and that amount of pressure can’t be good for your paint either. For me it is pretty much only the self-serve bays, for the first pass. And then back home to do detailing, as…

The only lion to have on your car. I’m particularly fond of the 1950 version with fuzzy boxing gloves :

It is also disgusting to wish death upon people by creating a situation where children’s health insurance is terminated. The Republican policies are their own Reign of Terror to communities across the nation, just not to you.
