I live near Howell, work in Fenton.

In college I had an on-campus job cleaning and doing minor service on the Campus Safety vehicles, two of which were Grand Caravans which mostly idled in the parking lots overnight, and two were police-spec Impalas. All four had been bought new in the same year, but, given enough fast food and coffee, a single…

Bonus points if they’re MACCO-special black with the badges and lettering all painted in pink.

Those Remington deer-heart stickers are on about 2/3 of all trucks in mid-Michigan.

Personally I would have gone for lighting akin to the subdued glow of vacuum tubes to fit in better with the aesthetic. Bright LEDs detract from case mods like this IMO.

They do have a sizable US presence, mostly in metro Detroit.

Ooh, me like.

Remember there are also plenty of people more concerned with outwardly appearing successful, what with the McMansion and the newly leased Mercedes and Cadillac in the driveway... and plastic patio furniture in the dining room.

Fun fact: a B-32 was the last Allied aircraft involved in a aerial combat engagement in WWII.

Most don’t, remember extreme viewpoints tend to be the loudest.

I used to see so many cars like that in and around Detroit it's not even funny. They seem to have since finally crumbled into dust, since I only see old pickups that look like that now. One should not be able to see the driver's feet operating the pedals from the next lane...

I think its one of those cars people like the idea of better than the idea of paying for.

Ditto. There are a lot of clean (if somewhat bland) designs from the late ‘80s to mid ‘90s. It’s that sweet spot with flush-fit windows, low beltlines, aero headlights and thin pillars; post-baroque Malaise era but preceding the tall beltlines, thick pillars, unnecessary character lines and too many LEDs that are…

Even better is when they turn into adults who don’t eat anything that is green or hasn’t fried and/or cheese-impregnated.

The town itself wasn't on fire; the coal mine near and under the town caught fire and has been burning ever since. After poorly organized attempts to put out the fire failed, the residents were more or less forced to move due to either the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, or later on the state government trying to…

Smedly Butler ring a bell?

The only role the BBs have to fill in the 21st century is naval gunfire support (NGFS). The refit and operational costs for these are huge, but you’re forgetting the support and infrastructure issue. All of the remaining spare parts and battleship servicing facilities were scrapped by 2010. The Navy estimated back in…

‘I believe at least around half of all the food gets thrown out.’

Not sure if my GTX560Ti will make the cut, might have to save up for a new rig and pick up the GOTY edition instead :|

‘Deathproof’ I believe.
