Here in Winston Salem we learned about the visit last night. I’ve missed all of the NC visits this season (except for Bernie in Greensboro) but there is NO way we’re missing this. No way. If I have to wait in line for ten hours or audition for the local DNC, count me in.

I’d have to ask my lawyer. I’m not in love with the Camaro and would only buy one if it was a stinking you-can’t-walk-away deal.

Nope. At least not in North Carolina. I spent several days last week looking at new Mustangs (GT Premium trim, many options) and you can get a deal on the stripper ecoboost models; good but not great. I wants me a V8 anyway. No commute in my life so $4/gallon gas just clips the occasional joyride. 

OK, question for the peanut gallery: if I get a CR-V for my wife (to replace her crap-tastic Murano) what car can I get to balance out the force that gets sucked out of our garage? I just want something for her that doesn’t ooze transmission fluid like our former 1974 Jaguar XJ12 and will hold all the books she likes…

Sales of the Ford Mustang absolutely plunged last month, declining a staggering 32 percent...

Am glad I’m not the only one. This debate could make me physically ill.

This mug pretty much sums it up for me.

This won’t make the cut either but this should give the young’uns a yuck.

Gin & Tonic.

Puts a new spin on “Taking Tiger Mountain” I didn’t think of.

Ditto. I’m about 72 miles from Where This Happened and was often there on business. Watching this on the stream and news was a bit surreal. The whole thing is a Damn Shame for Charlotte but it shows how close folks are to the boiling point with police-involved shootings. Worse, it gives Pat McCrory — who joined with…

Yep, same here. I watched the whole series over and over but “Star” was my favorite and I wanted that car.

Former farm boy here. While working on my grandfather’s farm during the summer of my early teens I had to help clean out a large chicken coop. By hand (shovels and wheelbarrow).

FYI, they arrested one of these hoaxers in North Carolina (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/clown-sightings-creepy-north-carolina-man-charged-with-fabricating/). Lord knows where these mouth-breathers get there inspiration but I blame Facebook.

You can have the weak-ass alleged V8 from my 2006 F150. My family’s ‘67 Fairlane station wagon had more juice.

As do I. I could have worded this much, much better and provided some context. This line of thought is a little too much “inside baseball” of North Carolina politics for this venue. It’s why I didn’t post a link; it’s nonsense at best and demeaning at worst.

There’s a long-running whisper campaign that McCrory is gay. I don’t believe it. But he is a dick with no courage and no convictions.

I did that stretch recently and I know that exact spot. The beauty of nature’s grandeur on one side and a stern reminder that physics is a bitch on the other.

That wouldn’t be the 7-8 mile stretch of I-77 south of Fancy Gap, VA, would it? I have to travel north from central NC regularly and actively avoid that stretch of road. In good weather it’s got a beautiful view of the North Carolina Piedmont (hello, Mount Pilot!) but is very unforgiving. In bad weather it’s a place…

Sheesh, you shoulda put a trigger warning on that first picture at the top of the post. That mug makes my wife’s Murano look like Venus di Milo.
