Not really. I’m an Ivy graduate, too. The fuss other people make gets old, hence the coyness. “I went to college in New Haven” and “I went to college in Boston” is a thing for a reason.

My favorite, overheard at a party in real life: “Nice shoes.” “Oh, thank you. I bought them at a little place in Boston when I was getting my Ph.D. at Harvard.”

You’re wrong.

What it’s supposed to look like:

You know what I want next to my home? Nothing. I want nothing anywhere near me. HOWEVER, if I choose to live in suburbia, then I accept that I’m going to have to live with other peoples’ choices about what happens on their property. If I choose to live in the city, then I accept that I will have a certain level of…

I think the guy across the street flips 5 series BMWs. Every weekend and several nights a week he is out in his driveway working on what seems like a different car every few weeks. He often has his garage door open and it is full of tools and car parts. All very nearly organized.

Then don’t move to a rural area. Stay in your shitty urban apartment instead, thank you very much. I have a neighbor kinda like Williams. He’s retired, in his 80's, and is the one NICE local resident in the neighborhood. I even let him park cars along my property because he IS a nice guy, and knows more about cars…

Then live in a neighborhood with zoning or HOA regulations that ban amateur auto shops. It’s not difficult to figure that out.

I do have an amateur garage next to my house. The guy who rents it has two Gen 2 RX-7 drift cars that he works on. Nobody minds as long as he’s not revving the heavily modified, unmuffled monsters all night long. Really, nobody cares.

Please sit in your car with the engine running, in your garage with the garage doors closed, and think for as long as your tiny shitbrain is capable of doing so, about the very stupid thing you’ve posted.

....You realize you posted this comment on a website dedicated to reporting the news to the exact type of people who would open such a garage, right?

If you see one, it won’t be until 2021. That post above is random and wishful, it’s an UNeducated guess. Mazda has said that being a smaller company, they don’t have the resources to throw at nice-to-haves like this. Especially since they got burned with the Mazdaspeed Miata, the previous Mazdaspeed3, etc.

“Drones outfitted with machine guns and grenades...will save lives.”

Where did you read that the Mazdaspeed 3 is coming back? I’m genuinely curious.

Tonks would be the best example, although not a student during the books obviously. She was more the opposite of Peter Pettigrew who was a cowardly Gryffindor

Its not a personality test, its magic...

Moving from Greenpoint, where street cleaning is twice a week, to Sunnyside, where street cleaning is once a week, has improved my life in ways I never thought possible.

Adam Smith was correct, there is an invisible hand guiding the economy, he just didn’t mention that the hand is bitch-slapping everyone in its path.

Make sure it’s engine oil you’re adding.

Here’s the takeaway; she didn’t protest and meekly let them force her to carry a heavy child in her lap for the whole trip.
