That was my home's price on 3 acres, nice neighborhood in 1976. Grandma's house on similar land sold for $34,000 THIS year.

from the sounds of her, she has no basis to think any tornado COULD even lift her up.

This erases all doubt anyone should have when asking why the British Empire failed, and SHOULD have failed.

Don't drive cars that you love more than people. I learned that.

I'm happy with my 51 mpg, 10 year old car

NO way. My boss is a fat 200+ pound bum. He did not get there by the way he dresses. I, on the other hand, just picked up my dry cleaning and look very dapper indeed.

I use this technique for BACON... the most important item in the universe.

Great car!

I owned similar. Loved it. It got Consumer Reports best crash rating (overall), one of three cars that year with the best rating. No complaints. Wish I had mine again, but in new condition.

That is the car that I HAD! 75 442. And to this DAY I keep saying that swivel buckets were the BEST THING. especially for golfers; to change shoes.

I drive up to but not over the speed limit. And drive a Prius. Had three kids on three specific attempts. What does that say about my ahem?

My fellow Boilermaker alum has some of the best approaches to living one's life I've ever heard. He's great.

there is a reason I carry two pistols on me.

"polarizing" is good. Pick a sliver of market, and let them buy something they like, and is distinguished. The 'pointy' rear end of this car is great, very different than other vanilla cars out there. I remember this one girl I knew that always said she wanted a car with tailfins. Well, this might be for her.

Yeah, in the cancer surgery recovery rooms, I saw plenty of sick people. A few died. I'm not sure that seeing all those on the brink of death did much for them/us.

I love the original BSG. That is so freaking cool! Had the soundtrack on 8-track when I was a kid.

I am trying my hardest to drive slow. Usually speed limit or 10% below for about two years now. It's great. just set the cruise (speed-o-stat per Hagerstown inventor!!), and relax. I listen to the news of the day/podcasts, and let Calgon take me away. All you other dolts can speed, break the law and get ticketed and…

@G-Ram: Nice GULF paint job. Or whatever they call it. :)

Pet friendly hotels should be made to offer something like SNL's "FecalVision" glasses. So everyone can see all the feces spread all over the place. It's not like pets wipe their butts, you know!

I had a Ford GT merge ahead of me last week on I-465 in Indy. Man, that thing was low. I had seen them before, but not in traffic like that.
