This is, by any reasonable account, a modern classic. It is in flawless condition, and the asking price is far from unreasonable. Assuming it fetches that, it will have appreciated at approximately 7.5% APR over its 38 year lifetime. On the surface, that’s not too bad. It’s significantly higher than if you put it in a…

I also met Obama that way. I like to think he remembers everyone he meets, no matter how briefly. At the very least, he could probably make you feel like he remembers you.

It is literally the excuse a supervillain uses to describe how other people are like ants to him.

It’s about as much as being invested in by the same pension fund.

Ah, isn’t the Keiretsu model delightful?

No, then it would look like a Pontiac Aztek.

Is this not predicated on the center diff being limited slip? Is that standard?

I agree in general, but PCars and iRacing are a different breed. A few years ago, someone (maybe TopGear Magazine) took the open wheel champion from iRacing and put him in the real thing. He was a Norwegian fisherman. This is a guy who’d never driven a real car in anything but a utilitarian way. When they put him on…

I am an Ivy League grad and have a PhD. I entered a demo derby last month.

Heh... reminds me of a joke.

I really can’t wait for Al to write a sequel in a few years (if we’re not all dead).

Yes, I get the reference, but what are the odds on Ivanka actually ever having shot a gun?

I had a good friend in grad school who was very into punk. His GF at the time was equally into metal. I used to make a game of goading them into arguments about which one various bands fit into.

The only argument I can think of (and yes, I read all the other responses) is that the visibility out the back of a sedan is a little better than with a hatch. I spent considerable time finding my car in a hatch and I love it, but that’s my one tiny complaint about it compared with my old car.

Nah. Just distract it with a bird.

A good cordless drill can provide about 100ft-lb, but only goes around 2000rpm. I guess what I’m saying is that with so little weight to move, that thing probably should have a multiplier gear so it can go a little faster!

For a year in grad school, I lived with a married couple. At some point, he went on a three week class trip to China. She/they knew this was going to be hard on her, and had made fairly detailed mental health arrangements with me, the 4th roommate, and my GF at the time (who was close with her). It didn’t work: a few…

I am reminded of a story about my great-grandma. When my grandfather was growing up in Brooklyn, she wouldn’t let two of his brothers go camping because she was scared of the wild animals. They wanted to go camping in Queens.
