I guess I can hope for a fire sale, although I'm more the cheap used bike type 

I’ve seen people go vertical using a double decker bus as a food cart. Kitchen downstairs seating upstairs.

If you truly hanker after a fully operational fire engine there are specialist dealers who sell them but they are expensive. I’ve also seen the occasional brush rig on CL for more reasonable prices.

Thanks for reminding me of this. It’s been over 30 years since my last class so it slipped my mind.

This is where you should have a “Remove Before Flight" flag on the ignition.  A lot of motorcyclists use something like that so they don't try to ride off with a disk lock in place. In the old days I'd put tape over the ignition lock if I had drained oil or something. 

IIRC the CIO's mistress was diverse until he got fired for expending his trysts. C leve had some diversity,  above average for circa 2012 tech

Speaking of “international sized” these were very popular with Japanese expats back in the day. Perhaps the Seville was the just right of bigger than anything they owned in Japan but way more manageable than the gargantuan full sized card of the mid 70s.

The "women in STEM" problem is more because most of those career fields are perceived as nerdy and uncool.  My department had a lot of women  mostly sysadmins with a few coders

A Citroën 2CV to understand what a truly basic car can do. 

Consider the possibility the "DEI" has simply proven itself ineffective and expensive.  Equality can be achieved without paying someone six figures to parrot "White Fragility". I worked in a Fortune 100 company's IT for years and our office was very diverse long before the current fad of DEI and ESG. 

I think I will confine my finicky super car dreams to the comparatively cheap FD RX-7 

It’s perfectly possible to drive something else in Portland. I lived in the burbs and drove a Saturn, to the beaches, mountains and dozens of bicycle events. I live in Bend now which is equally overrun by Subarus and drive a Mazda. I do like IPA but prefer brown ale, and have 3 bicycles and a kayak. 

This is a logical and expected consequence of building on sand while bribing the inspectors to overlook your inadequate piling plan.

I hope this goes down better than the 1974 ignition interlock regulations.  Everyone who could immediately disabled them and it was repealed for 1975. 

While helium eliminates the whole perish in an inferno problem, there’s still a host of reasons why lighter than air fell out of favor and I don’t think HAV fixed any of them.

I look forward to seeing an “invincible” Cybertruck tackle the dirt road to Todd Lake and Broken Top that even the lifted Tacomas drive slowly.  The road to Sparks Lake is also a test. The Forest Service really needs to regarded these, but I want broke Cybertrucks first

Slingshot dragsters have following but it needs to track ready at that price. If it just looks pretty and makes noise it’s worthless to me.

The worst mileage I’ve had was 8.7 mpg towing a 6000lb camper with my 2002 F150 with a 5.4 Triton.  This truck does 15-17mpg on the highway without a trailer 

That’s normal for a 454. My son’s 99 K2500 Suburban with a 350 gets 10-12 running light but 6-7 towing 

I'm just surprised he didn't arrest the Amtrak engineer for destroying government property.
