Also, the CIA hates him and he’s managed to get the FBI pissed off at him. I was truly terrified by the idea of him having control of those agencies.

and the vast majority of republicans launched into the sun by catapult

Man, Obama is so close to a 6-pack there...

But don’t you know? The Trump regime is the last gasp. People are going to be so upset by 2020 that it’s going to usher in a revolution with real change.

My grandfather used to say (sarcastically), “If it can’t be better, can’t it at least be different?”

That, or trolls leaking in from other places?

The GOP as it was then & has remained woefully out of touch with society & what is important socially, culturally and personally to voters.

It will be available to order worldwide in two guises; one is a four seat version—which I’ll warn may not feel quite like a $200,000 car. North America is stuck with that one. The rest of the world has the option of ordering a two seat Track Pack.

It’s a 6% weight reduction. If you can take advantage of that in a mid-engine GT car, you’re a better driver than I could ever hope to be.

It sounds like a 2 V6 engines rather than 2 straight 6 ones.

Only Sunoco Ultratech is certified by Top Tier. If you feel like experimenting, you could try 87 from another brand from their list:

11:1 isn’t that high. A stock BRZ is 12.5:1 and runs fine on 91. Pure ethOH is around 113 octane, and should be able to run much higher than that.

My father is from Spokane, WA, but went to college in NYC back in the 60s. He had to do a speech test during orientation, and was docked for “substandard regionalisms.” 50 years later, it still amuses him that anyone from the Northeast would have the gall to accuse someone from anywhere else of that.

IIRC, one of the exceptions to the “no liquids” rule is a certain amount of wine if you’re flying out of an airport in Napa.

But will they still do that when it’s an option you’ve chosen instead of hiring a self-driving car?

Huh... weird. I used to be able to get ‘em all the time. Must vary by rental location more than I appreciated (I was mostly going the same places over and over).

Sounds like you rent like I used to. If you get the premium service (Emerald Club, Hertz Gold, etc) they start giving you better options at no extra charge. The trip where they gave me a Challenger was fun. So was the one with the Jetta GLI.

the UK’s “Scammel Scarab” three wheeled pick up

No one knows what that means.
