The real crime here is that lottery winnings are taxed at close to 60% !!! Lottery’s are such a chumps game that Governments can ballpark the expected lottery payouts for the year, then work the numbers backwards and tax it to plug budget gaps. Nobody complains because they have not won it yet. I think it is time for…

It’s like Business Class on a plane. Once you move up, it is very difficult to go back to economy.

Years ago as a lot monkey for a Ford dealer I drove a 5.0l Mustang LX that was being prepped for being in a car show and then media loaner. All I did was clean it, but that thing would lay rubber in 2nd gear all day long. It didn’t sound different, but it sure drove different. 

Sedans are dying because they are too damn low to the ground. It really is that simple. Ask yourself this question: “Is the furniture in my house 6" off the ground?” No, it is not. Next, ask yourself “why?” The answer is “because that’d be stupid and difficult to get in and out of.” Sedans are the same. 

Yes. It is time.

I was looking at a 12 year old Bentley Continental 4 door the other day in Tokyo. It had 28,000 kms. So 1,500 miles per year. A pampered car. Garage kept and very well maintained with all papers. One very minor door ding. That was it. About US$ 35,000. Nice car, BUT you would have to set aside $4,000 to $5,000/ year…

In China, it is firmly believed, if you work hard in your youth, you will receive the benefits of the mighty Chinese Iron Rice Bowl. A pension. A health care plan. A good life in your golden years. In America, hard, loyal work is rewarded with being spat in the face, ripped off and discarded.

Seats aren’t standard in a Porsche? Boo !! money grubbing Germans....

Do one of these with BEST seats. I’ll start. BMW X5 M series. I’m 6'4" and obsess over comfortable seats, because there are so few seats designed for tall guys. Sitting in the X5 was a magical experience. It was like receiving a big, leathery hug from a extra large German beer fraü. And solid. Like they were carved…

YouTube how to fix saggy headliner. It’s not that difficult. A big can of 3M adhesive spray seems to be key.

Got me a JDM Nissan Serena with 185,000 kms or 115,000 miles. Slight radiator leak, getting fixed next week, possible end joint on its way out........And that is it. I paid $1,500 for it with 50,000 miles and am just realizing what a hell of a deal that was (fire sale. dude leaving town) Looking at my files, I’ve had…

They are sort of implying that modern us cannot do that. There are plenty of well managed and maintained fisheries around the world. One interesting and fairly recent discovery, made possible by GoPro cameras, was that lobster traps are surprisingly inefficient. We just assumed that any lobster that entered was caught,…

I’m glad somebody is doing something to try and stop the obviously corrupt deal Louis DeJoy made with Oshkosh. The Oshkosh proposed trucks don’t even have start/stop. The combined weight including payload is 8,501 pounds, just one pound over the EPA’s threshold to be considered a heavy-duty truck, allowing it to avoid…

Today I learned that F&F has enough ‘creativity’ to have differences about. Most of the movies I have sort of watched look like a collection of TikTok clips interspaced with explosions and Vin diesel mumbling about stuff I don’t quite understand.

Oh yeah. Total retard. He’ll never amount to anything.

Correction: A weird hatred of FAGS getting exercise.

Exactly. 

I think most of this whole ‘woke’ revolution and ‘cancel culture’ is basically ‘virtue bullying.’ It is a device that enables someone to gain power over someone or in the workplace by accusing another of not being ‘woke.’ What is woke? it is kind of whatever you want it to be. It is a tool used by bullies and…
