No really. I’m a confirmed skeptic and hetero hermit. She’s a crystal rubbing hippy chick. I read, she doesn’t. She likes horror movies, I prefer science fiction. I’ve always been straight edge, she’s been in recovery for 13 years. She likes groups, I like being alone.

When I was a born, we lived in a full apartment in the basement of my Grandparent’s house. (with windows right out on the swimming pool, which was a bonus in the summer.) Later my Uncle lived down there until he graduated high school, then I would stay down there during the summers most years. Then I lived there while…

So I got a new downstairs neighbor a month or so ago. We live in a kinda secluded 4-plex in a residential neighborhood near a retail strip. My apartment is 2 bedrooms with a garage, and her’s is a studio below my kitchen.

I will eat blueberries until I get sick.

That burger looks nummy nummy nummy.  #want

With that 450 and retro styling, I’m guessing about 120-140 miles.  Or roughly 20-40 miles further than you’d want to ride it without stopping anyway.

I hate to say it, but even if I could still ride neither of these bikes would be on my short list of wish bikes. The CBX is cool and all, but woefully underpowered and poor handling in comparison to all manner of newer bikes. The CX650T even though it was “better” than the CX500T was still not a good bike. Overly…

Whoops! My mistake. I apparently wasn’t paying attention for the last decade. Sterling closed its doors in 2009, and had indeed been bought from Ford by Freightliner.

Oh, Ford is still a player in the OTR truck world. Just not under the Ford brand. They bought the Sterling brand, and they are pretty nice trucks.

Batman giving Batgirl the Batpipe.

It was a truck that came out to address a very specific set of rules and regulations concerning overall length of vehicles. They shortened the tractor as much as physically possible. This was a time when COE tractors usually still had some kind of hood on it, albeit a short one. I believe this was the first of the…

Where I live there are plenty of taco trucks within walking distance of me where I can get a better meal than any Planet Hollywood and not even finish off a tenner. There’s a little shack on the side of a Shell station right up the street that sells nothing but Tamales. $8 (plus a tip) is enough food from there to…

I had a big old argument with my asshole brother a couple decades ago about his F250 4x4. He was a contractor, and insisted he had to have that truck to impress his customers. I told him he’d be better off with a nice Isuzu NPR cabover with a flatbed that could actually haul his stuff, but no. He had to have an F250…

I grew up in 60's and 70's Ford F150s and F250s. They’re reasonably sized trucks from an era with unreasonably sized cars and the term “compact parking space” hadn’t been dreamed up yet. (A time when the original Ford Maverick was considered a “compact car.”)

Hahahahaha! The International Harvester “Sightliner.” I’ve driven one. It’s awful! They literally took their standard medium duty truck cab, cut off the hood, raised it up on a weird platform, added those weird lower windows, and called it a COE.

Why you have’ta make it weird?

If you hadn’t posted that, I would have.

Almost certainly, but it’s also an indication of someone who bubba’s something rather than do a correct “restoration” or repair.

Too many bubba mods to this one. The cheese-whiz steering wheel, the seats, the wheels, and the air cleaner all point to a shade-tree mechanic got his tendrils into this one. Who knows what sins that Maaco paint job hides? Why does it have 3 fuel filters?
