I’ve owned both a 1999 Outback and now a 2005 Freestyle (2wd). The latter has over 100K and I’ve had to do is replace front and rear brakes. Also needs a new motor mount. My Outback had 50K when I sold it and had zero repairs. So yeah, I like the Freestyle but the Subaru is a tank. Just wish they still made a larger…

I’m old enough to only know the historic definition. And probably happier for it too.

I see it as irresponsible to give unfounded rumors a platform like this for the crackpot community to launch from. The truth may be out there but this is nowhere near the truth - or journalism for that matter.

America has commercialized everything else, so why not commercialize suffering too?

I need something relatively affordable (@ $35K) to replace my Ford Freestyle, with similar size, economy, space and pax. Am I dreaming? Too much to ask? What do car guys think?

In blogging, as in business, nothing exceeds like excess.

What, did the Stew insert the nuts in the wrong orifice for her highness?

One summer long ago, I was a young pup working at a local military base exchange gas station, pumping gas for customers (yeah, back in the '70's when they still did that for you.) One day while working the gas pumps I heard a terrific "crash" come from the service bays. I turned around to look and saw that some field…

The Navy likes to call them "destroyers" because that sounds cool and also sounds cheaper than "cruiser." A lot of political nonsense gets entangled with navy procurement and ship naming practices.

Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane. I recall fondly my years spent in the naval aviation Brownshoe community and the sense of mission and brotherhood that went with it.

Did the pump cause the explosion or was the pump anomaly cause for the mission control crew to abort the launch and issue the remote self-destruction command?

Mmm, more grist for the psycho serial killers who hate rejection. Quick, someone, write a screenplay!

No, this kind of activity screams "sons of local mafia bosses now running amok while their shady dads fight for the spoils of the so-called Donetsk Republic which they want to run as a sort of franchise crime kingdom under Putin's Russia."

As far as child molestation cases go, what I read so far is actually pretty mild. But my perspective is skewed by 25 years of reading crime reports, interviewing defendants and writing court reports. What is important to note is that any degree of sexual molestation on a child can induce permanent psychological damage…

The only thing that makes Texas look remotely good is comparison with Florida, the original WTF State.

Love aviation but refuse to watch any more of these vids with that kind of score. Recently came across one that was only ambient sounds within cockpit and that was so much better and really immersive.

Dunno, seems like Texas Normal to me.

No Fords? Fix or Repair Daily? Wow, I'm kinda happy about that.

The one that was no surprise was a Dodge PT Cruiser. Yuk, cheap piece o crapola. But what surprised me was my time in an H2 Hummer. What a rolling box of shite, for that kind of money especially.

I still don't get it. Can we please have a puppet show next?
