I thought it was going to be about curling, but then realized people in the US think they have a trademark on the word America. 

My father always worked on cars, but my mother made him promise to never let it become a junkyard. No problem, he said, and just moved the cars to a part of the property that she did not see; he had like 20 acres. Years later, he forgot that mother did not know about the stash of cars and carried her to the back of…

I went to one dealer that contacted me to try to buy/trade me out of my truck every time I went for maintenance (free maintenance on CPO vehicle). I would get letters and phone calls. It was super annoying.

I take it you’ve never driven in Boston? It is surprisingly common in Boston to have one way streets meet. Also common:

Honestly, filling a claim with your insurance company would probably be the easiest. Once you tell them the garage is at fault, they will hound them for the money. In Boston, where the police will not determine fault of non-injury crashes, this was the only way to do it. Basically, YOU have to find witnesses and…

They’re hard to inspect since they only come on when the car is in drive, or any forward gear if it’s manual.

As a GM owner, I think the biggest problem is telling when they are out. The DRLs only come on when the vehicle is in drive. When it is in park, they go out. I almost never see someone else driving my vehicle, so I can’t tell when they are out unless I look for the reflection in something.

I still do not understand your argument. You mean having the same numbers of animals doesn’t count because there is higher turnover? So the average age of the animals is reduced compared to wild animals, but the overall number doesn’t change. Does that mean younger animals produce more methane? From what I can tell…

Just out of curiosity, what do you think would happen if you showed up in another country without documentation or money and said you wanted to live there? What’s the gold standard? What is the solution? I know most countries don’t offer a path to citizenship to those not born there. Compared to Germany, UK, France,…

You are all wrong. Everyone knows you need two trucks. One for Sunday driving and trips to town, i.e. one with good paint and no dents, and one utility truck. This is a requirement and he needs to invest more if he wants to fit in with his neighbors. 

I take it you haven’t seen a 59 el camino?

I don’t like the fact they are skirting safety regulations by classifying it as a medium duty truck, which do not require airbags or other safety features. I wouldn’t mind driving this, but if it is not even going to have to submit to crash tests, then it sounds risky.

I’ve never had a problem with the Avalanche letting dirt, water or even smells in through the mid gate (gas can in the back is not problem), with it closed. If you ran down a dusty road with it open, then I’m sure it will be a problem. They can be configured with the mid gate down and the glass and tonneau cover still…

I’ve heard of people putting a turbo on the 5.3 and getting more than 2 mpg improvement in gas milage, plus more power. Seems like that is the easiest solution.

After they did away with the plastic on the bottom in 08 they started looking a lot better. Now those can be had for under $10k

You can get one with a 5.3, 6.0 or 8.1 L LS motor.

These are pretty cheap right now.

Been done.
