It was only about 2 months ago that I saw a 1975 Vega for sale on a dealer lot. Not even some sketchy used car only lot but a Toyota dealership. That was a weird sight for 2022.

“...screenshots show that the dealership’s Facebook account “liked” the county club’s posts that were promoting the F-150 prize”

Oh hells yeah, that’s a pretty coffin. NP.

Just replying to myself because these are all great shortcuts. I think those of us who can do quick math might be surprised by the number of people who can’t or at least have never been shown easy shortcuts like these. Keep them coming. 

If you’re intimidated to do tip calculations in your head, here’s a potentially simple way to do it.

Made me think 1970's Lagonda but yeah, the single spoke wheel doesn’t look quite right to me.

It doesn’t hurt that the tipping structure in Spain accommodates this. A gratuity is typically added to your bill to begin with. So if you’re just there for a meal and want to bounce, that’s all there is to it. When we stay at the table a little longer because we have friends with us or maybe we’re just really…

Pants.

“Flexitarians.” Enough said. You can make up a term to describe a very particular subset of people but in the final analysis, what is the actual marketing size of this demographic? It’s going to be pretty small.

Why? It’s car adjacent. 

That’s because I drive a nicer car than a 240.

I appreciate the efforts the fast-food establishments put in to their drive thru processes but they’re all entirely lost on me. I do not and will not use a drive thru because I’m highly particular about my car. Yes, it’s borderline obsessive but I won’t take the chance of spilled food or drink in my car. Honestly, I…

Nice. Gotta un-grey that one.

Agreed. I don’t understand why I like this thing. I know better. :)

They can call it the Vengeance but I’d call it the Larp.

The Chi Chi’s I would go to in the late 1980's and early 1990's closed because the neighborhood it was in gradually got worse. I’m sure the original appeal for its location was a cheaper lease but eventually it got to be a common occurrence to have your car broken into while you ate dinner. They posted warning signs…

Damn. I had a french vanilla this morning so I’m feeling rich and fancy. NP. 

Like people who pay for the highest horsepower engine option and then drive like Nikita Mazepin or is that different?

Uber’s entire existence is premised on ignoring rules and regulations. I’m not saying the legacy taxi business didn’t have issues but Uber didn’t “disrupt” anything. The strategy was from the outset to entice “gig workers” into a “side hustle” with initially compelling compensation funded by early-stage VC money,…

I’ve tried to reflect back on this before but honestly, I don’t even know. Seem to have been born with a steering wheel in my hand. There are pictures of me so young I can barely walk but I’m out on the driveway trying to help my dad clean his car. My favourite toys were Matchbox cars. I know my dad took me, at a…
