Tiny Nissan pickup, stick shift, bench seat. Two parents and a kid. 10 hours, each way, in the winter, over mountain passes. It was cozy, but it was workable.

What’s the deal with the charity Jetta? I haven’t heard anything about it and I’ve looked for articles and haven’t found anything more recent than the top 10 list.

This is stupid and you should feel bad.

Loved your tale. In Europe, towing a trailer behind a Mercedes would put you among the literal gypsies. Given the nuisance now being created by ill-tempered refugees from the Middle East, I suspect the Europeans are learning to love the generally peaceful gypsies.

Usually with a weave the hair below is braided close to the scalp to serve as a base for the hair then sewn on to it. The Ivari technique seems to be a similar, slightly more complicated version of this, basically involving an elaborate wig sewn onto the hair below. It’s not a surgical technique.

Same here. I look white all day everyday, but I’m half Asian. When I was younger and went shopping with my mom, people would think she was the nanny. :(

I agree with you with a qualification. You should never get under a car lifted with a jack alone. For things that are done from the outside of the car (primarily quick tire swaps) I don’t use jack stands and I don’t worry about my safety.

I don’t think this necessarily offers hope for humanity, but I wouldn’t say it’s just basic decency for a guy who went to the school expecting to be fawned over by excited kids to instead sit down with a lonely, awkward boy who probably didn’t even know who he was.

Yeah, this absolutely needs more emphasis - you should never, never, NEVER lift a car with a jack alone and no jack stands. If you’re going to buy this and you don’t own stands already, then a set of good stands are a must have, not a “if you want".

Forget about this story, why won’t anyone report on the apparent spree of people placing onions in front of commenters? Is it a prank? A gift? Some form of terrorism? What of the dust storms that are now plaguing offices? Are they natural, a byproduct of climate change? Some manmade HAARP style phenomenon?

Carbon based life forms often reply with an emotional response.

Not sure why you’re trying to be a jerk either.

It’s as if children’s lives have an impact on their parents or something.

Oddly I have met several people from Pigeon Forge and they all have the best things to say about her. Dollywood pretty much saved the area financially and she gives away thousands of books to Tennesee school children every year.

I think gossip is all it is. By all accounts she and her husband have a very low key 40 + year marraige.

I want to tell Dolly all my problems and then have her sing Joline to me!

I feel like she is genuinely saying all of these things from a place of love and not in a humblebrag way whatsoever. Seriously. She just seems like one of the best humans to ever grace this earth.

If you want to change your own oil or do other work on the underside of your car, it’s worth investing in a good jack for your garage, and assuming your car weighs less than 1.5 tons, we’ve got a fantastic deal for you.

Just a note, you’ll only be jacking up one end of the vehicle at a time, so a 3000lb jack can work for a vehicle that weighs a lot more than 3000lbs.
