You could fill this list with nothing but early Diesel engines. The VW Rabbit Diesel (also used in the Transporter.) The Chevette Diesel. The GM 5.7 Diesel. The Oldsmobile 4.3 Diesel. The GM 6.5L Diesel. The naturally aspirated mechanical injected Ford 7.3L Diesel (Actually, an International engine.) The Ford 6.0L…

My Grandmother bought (without consulting any of us) a Chevy Cobalt 4-door stripper model back in the day. She barely drove it (she had no business buying a new car) and the majority of the miles on it were my Aunt taking her to the doctor’s office occasionally.

The Vulcan 3.0 V6 (which replaced the Cologne family of 2.9 V6 Ford engines) is an excellent engine. Better than the 4.0 IMHO, which is derived from the Cologne family.

I’ve seen similar rigs for less recently, so I’m a border line no deal. It’s probably a fine pickup but that price is about 2k more than I think it’s worth. Also an automatic with the Lima engine is a no-go feature.  With the 5 speed it isn’t a bad little combination, but with the automatic the smaller engine is…

The only thing I’ve ever seen Mira Sorvino in was an episode of House, in which I thought she was very good.  (As far as the script allowed her to be.  It was television after all.)

Pretty much all her costars in Married with Children said the same thing about Christina Applegate, suggesting her intellect was near genius level and that she may have been the smartest person they ever met. Only the best actors/actresses can play dumb effectively. A bad actor is just painful to watch try to act dumb.

How sad it is that your finely cultivated sense of black outrage has blinded you to intelligently composed criticisms of a situation that don’t agree with your prejudices. Not all white people are your enemies, and not all black outrage is justified. It isn’t helpful for black outrage to alienate your allies just for…

Yellowbeard is awesome, although not quite up the the regular standards of they Python crew.  It’s such a shame that it was Graham Chapman’s final movie.  He was just cleaning up his act (alcoholism) and it was his first foray into movies.  Then almost immediately got diagnosed with cancer.  He was only 48 when he…

Really. She’s an idiot who thought she was helping. Firing her isn’t going to solve anything, but keeping her on can be a teaching moment.

Americans do better to adapt British shows rather than remake them. Hence from Fawlty Towers we get Newhart. From Till Death do us Part we get All in the Family. Our record with copying British TV rather than adapting it is mixed. The Office turned out okay, but other tries were utter flops. Both the American versions…

The best part of that is seeing Chris and Craig trying to keep up with Danny’s dancing.  And failing. Hilariously.  (Word has it they both struggled badly.)

I haven’t seen anything past Back to Earth. I no longer own a television, and even when I did finding the episodes was difficult. I’m sure I could find all of them pirated now if I wanted to expend the effort.

Let’s turn this around. If a white girl had come to school with her tips Kool-Aid blue as little girls are wont to do these days, and said teacher had cut them off because reasons, what would have happened to her?

Yeah, my neighbor Mongo von Staysathome doesn’t like Marvel movies either. I give just as much credence to his opinion as I do Dorff’s.

True. Also he specifically calls out Scarlett in his little tirade, but look at what she’s done outside the MCU in the last decade. Not a whole lot, but most of what she has done is quality. The MCU money allows her the opportunity to be picky about the other films she’s in. (With the exception of Ghost in the Shell…

This. And the whole current kerfuffle in New York with the Trump Organization is less about convicting Weisselberg and more about convincing him to turn on Trump. I think they’ve got lots of laws they have good reason to believe The Donald broke, but they need witnesses to use against him. They want these cases to be…

Hence my need for the t-shirt.  (Roughly 89% of science is math.)

I need a t-shirt that says “Trump lost.  That’s just science.”

Nice sentiment, but it’ll never happen.  Even if he gets tried, convicted, and incarcerated he’ll spend the rest of his days lying about everything.  He’s so divorced from reality that he doesn’t recognize it anymore when reality brings the kids by for visitation.
