By these standards putting my 5 year old daughter on my lap to drive an 80,000 pound Caterpillar 980 front end loader was a felony. I guess it could have been but she’s a careful driver.

The key to having this all sort out in the end is to admit to yourself that (re) creating this car was as much a part of the enjoyment of ownership as driving it. I have reliable late model vehicles purchased at fair prices and I have older increasingly rare vehicles bought cheap and lovingly returned to service. I…

Ya came to FA for cars? Your a little dim aren’t you? Foxtrot Alpha deals with military and defense issues. Regardless of Trump’s current political affiliation he’s a fucking idiot who’s narcissistic edifice complex is driving him to cut vital national defense assets to build his “beautiful wall”.

With sliding doors on both sides plus a huge tailgate and 4 wheel drive I badly wanted a Nissan Stanza Wagon but when I got around to seeking one they had all dissolved. It’s even difficult to locate a decent photo.

Oh, don’t be coy. You know you want to.

Would you put on your “police cadet” hat and “junior officer helper” badge first?

Almost?

I may never recover from the time in my youth when my employer offered me his maroon MGBGT for my week’s pay. I nearly wept when I found my left knee pinned immobilised between the door and the steering wheel.

Not before my time. When I was a kid Opel offered some truly fun performance cars with quality on par with the Japanese cars of the era. If there’s any of that DNA left in Russelheim some affordable fun could yet emerge.

Darn right!

Uh huh! Same rules no to apply! WTF are you trying to say?

I would be willing to bet a month’s union wages that 99.9% of Americans are completely unaware that American workers fought a prolonged battle against private mercenaries and US Army soldiers on American soil for the right to unionize.http://www.upworthy.com/ever-heard-of-the-battle-of-blair-mountain-federal-troops-wer…

This precisely mirrors my upbringing as well. In my case I’m still a union member despite having worked outside my trade for a couple decades. I cherish the privilege of maintaining a lifelong relationship with this most democratic of institutions.

Jefferson Beauregard is a name like Hitler Benito. It paradoxically memorializes reviled losers .

From All Capone to Richard Nixon it’s always the lies and cover-ups that catches the crook out and exposes the nature and extent of the crime. Just the way Jefferson Beauregard denied meeting with Russian officials when he wasn’t even asked that question begs his guilt.

Except for the certainty that this is an unemployable headcase who is supported by some poor man I would suggest for you that six months of marriage to this critter would dampen your applause.

Five weeks of lying and prevarication leaves me suspicious of Trump’s denials.

If that’s your car you’re no power, otherwise...
