easy to say, you are not sitting in a mile of unmoving traffic with cars already on the shoulder with a fire getting closer in your rearview mirror every minute.

I see cars like these that are half the new car average selling price, cost virtually nothing to maintain, very little to drive regularly, and have good resale values, and scratch my head at people buying $50K gas guzzlers while complaining about egg prices.  A car is a depreciating asset.  Buy something cheap to own…

I think Tony Stewart Kurt Busch, Kyle Larson and Danica Patrick in recent years have shown that superspeedway skills translate back and forth at least some. Don’t forget that Danica won the pole at Daytona first time out. She was mediocre everywhere else, but in both IndyCar and NASCAR she was fast on big ovals(even…

I’m here! I still read daily. :)

Paging Mercedes Streeter. Ms Mercedes, your NP may be here.

You do realize that “moron” is an outmoded word that means exactly the same thing as “retarded”. The word to describe that condition has changed many times over the years as people start using the current word as an insult. See also “Simpleton”, “Imbecile”, and “Feeble-minded”.

Where is everybody hitting animals? in 44 years of driving over half a million miles I’ve hit one rabbit(which reversed course and dove under my wheels), one squirrel(same), and a bird that flew into my windshield. I’ve had plenty more opportunities, but running over small animals is generally not hard to avoid

It can also be a modified existing plane. (although this one isn’t). My uncle is modifying an old Miccosukee airplane by installing a Corvette motor, and has it registered in the experimental class also. (After he retired from 50 years of racing cars, I guess he needed to find something to do with his time and…

Perhaps, but look how cops abuse civil forfeiture and how impossible it is to get back your money and stuff even when it is 100% clear you came by it honestly.

“Home built” and “Airplane” should not be in the same sentence together, unless it’s to say “Home built airplanes are a really fucking stupid idea.”

Um, good?

“...neighbors come together and organize around the intersection”

Oh no, the anti-slideshow groupies are going to have a cow! I say lets have more slideshows in 2025.

What’s the situation with all of those hybrid car batteries after so long?

Hate to say it but agreed. I had the sister car, Impala. Mine was bulletproof reliable other than the slight oil burn. Ran it for 9 years, tires and oil. 

That’s definitely the van of an underground vigilante group that was falsely accused of crimes during Vietnam and has now dedicated itself to righting wrongs with guns and makeshift tanks and artillery while also somehow never killing anyone.

Eew.  Then I’d have to make a Hertz rental and own a Tesla.  That’s a dookie double dose.

I’ve been rear-ended twice. Second time, I know for a fact the lady who bashed in the tailgate of my Rav4 so hard it needed to be replaced did not get a ticket. (She was following too closely, obviously.) First time, I’m not sure if a ticket was given, but I hope so. It didn’t happen while I was watching, but since…
