I’ve worked with a few guys kind of like that, where it seems one has to go a little bit farther to earn their respect if they don’t see you climbing into a pickup in the parking lot at the end of the day, and you might get remarks along the lines of 'We gotta get you to get a truck one of these days..".

All variants ran on gasoline (The Ford GAA, the Chrysler Multibank, Pratt & Whitney radial etc.) except the M4A2 which was developed for Lend-Lease program. The British ended up turning down this variant since they already had several gas-fueled variants and wished to standardize to one fuel type. The surplus that…

To be fair, those were developed for a highly specialized role in breaking the Siegfried Line fortifications.

I’ve had somewhat paranoid thoughts about the discs on my mountain bike for that reason. Did you have it on a work stand when it happened?

1940’s and 1950’s Tennessee and Montana plates are shaped like their states. Less cool than bears, but more cool than rectangles with boring straight edges.

Hell, I would be happy with a HD re-release for current gen and PC of both Revolver and Redemption, not to say I wouldn’t welcome a sequel with open arms and open wallet.

It feels to me much of the time and frustration spent wrenching is just trying to access and remove that Old Busted Part.

I agree- The fact that they used nice steelies rather than some godawful billet wheels makes me more amenable to the hood and lack of HVAC.

Kinda what I was gonna say; ‘old’ is less age and more about health. Most of us will end up ‘old’ one way or another, but some sooner than others. I know people in their 60s and 70s who remain very active and I hesitate calling them ‘old’, while I know others around 50-60 that have had their poor habits catch up the…

I was about to make a similar joke about myopia; while I more or less agree with her in principle that commuting practice needs to evolve, cars aren’t going out of fashion quite yet, dear.

It happened, welcome to 1998!

‘All I vant is a simple var. Not ze proxy var, not ze civil var, und certainly not another fucking cold var. Blue balled for forty years...’

I remember seeing a one on a BMW doing a brisk business on I-96 near Brighton last Labor Day weekend, can't remember the last time I saw a MSP Harley, though.

Anyone know what kind of settings and framerate I might expect to see with an i5 2500k and a GTX 560ti? Don’t have the budget to buy parts or build new in the foreseeable future, so I’m curious if getting Fallout 4 will be a waste of time.

Yeah, I scrutinize every gas pump and ATM reader I’ve used, but apparently that’s not enough any more. I’m lucky my bank caught them before they spent too much, and fully reimbursed after I filled out a fraud statement.

I see that now, reinforces my attention span is garbage :P

FYI: I got nailed by a skimmer last month; the newest type of gas pump skimmers are internal and use the pump keypad. There’s no way to tell if the pumps have been compromised (none of stations I regularly used have the seals on the card reader panel), so no way to protect yourself unless you pay inside, as looking…

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that if the car has the trim bits meant to simulate a convertible, it's a landau roof (e.g. most landyachts), otherwise it's a vinyl roof (e.g. the Superbird posted upthread).

I seem to remember reading something a couple years ago about Cadillac corporate asking dealers more or less to 'please do not do this', but as long as people are willing to pay dealers for their poor taste, we will still see such abominations.

It’s a dealer installed option, Cadillac refuses to offer it factory since they’re trying to maintain something like that Art & Science aesthetic.
