The town my brother lived in in Utah made something like 70% of their budget from tickets issued by the Mayor/Police Chief/Fire Chief for several years until he got shut down hard. The guy the town council replaced him with flat refused to continue the tactics so they fired him and the entire rest of their department…

Try ddriving my old beast during that time. I was a carpenter towing a 20' box trailer full of cabinets and tools every day and driving between Fidalgo Island in Washington and Salt Lake City every weekend in a 1993 F350 with an old 460 bbf. I averaged 9 mpg and had to fill two 16 gallon tanks. I still remember…

Hippies and VW type 2s. 

Thanks very much. It's nice to know I'm not the only one concerned about morbid creepers like the ones I have to babysit on my parole caseload.

Dont forget the toyota valve cover. 

Exactly. That’s why I tore mine off my ‘74 buick as soon as I could afford to repaint it again.

We already do. It's a constant torn in the side of every officer I know when people treat the passing lane as the perfect place for grandma in her GMC Acadia doing 10 mph under the speed limit and swerving at every car that passes her because she can't turn to glare at the other driver without yankig on the steering…

I’m building a loft in my garage for a similar reason, heavy 30 y.o. canopy on my old truck. If you use strut from Home Depot/ Lowe’s you can get wheeled trolleys to hang your pulleys from to slide the whole assembly out of the way. Maximization of space is fantastic isn't it.

Barns are fairly easy as long as you’re not going crazy with the size. 12' round posts cement in, single angle roof with gentle pitch so the high point is the front at 10' and low point the back at 8' height. 2x10s as framework after cutting the posts to match the angle and voila, barn structure. Just sheet it with…

The first time I saw it my wife asked me why a Nine Inch Nails logo was in chrome on the back of a minivan.

Also known as a free car. This still doesn't mean the original dealer and slimeball fraudster don't owe him redress and restitution so if they can get that figured out attorney wise the kid will be set up pretty well. 

Apache isn’t particularly well suited to air to air engagements. Perhaps the Navy could help out with F/A-18s out of NAS Whidbey for Fort Lewis at least.

Yes. Yes I do. I still have it and I’m currently restoring it with my sone so it can be his first car in a few years too. I’ll be honest I didn’t like it much at first but it grew on me and now it’s a 47 year old classic car that was extremely rare when new, not because it was special but becauseit was just not cared…

Singing: You’re older than you’ve ever been, and now you’re even older, and now you’re even older, and now you’re even older. You’re older than you’ve ever been, and now you’re even older, and now you’re older still.

My wife named my great dane puppy Apollo after my first car. He’s a big lerpy doofus and the car is a hilarious joke of a 1974 “economy” car from Buick so I think it fits.

Down where my Grandmma lives in St. George UT there's a 2019 frontier 2wd 4cyl auto listed at a dealership for $26,658 and 17k miles on it so this one doesn't seem too outside the realm of possibility to actually get sold. Crazy price but not entirely unexpected. You want to see overpriced trucks? Look for anything…

I don’t know about you but I don’t typically look at my cup to retrieve or stow it while driving. Imagine having to look into the back seat cupholder in my Mini every time I wanted a sip because that’s the only one that’ll hold more than a red bull can.
