Just took the kids back to the Air & Space Annex a couple weekends ago - the shuttle is really awesome, but the main attraction for me will always be the SR-71. It’s just so damn perfect.

why is “ass” censored in all of your writing?

yeah. there’s too much “this old person hasn’t kept up with car such and such so now it’s a barn find” with these things and the phrase is losing its meaning.  Hagerty’s YT channel is a habitual line stepper with this stuff

y u mad tho

are you a little older?  would copeium be more your speed?

i see them that way at Sam’s Club and Safeway around my place

it wasn’t until I had kids that I realized that a slightly spotted banana is the (no pun intended) sweet spot.  I rip the plastic off in the store so the bananas can start the process.  

these are the perfect car to replace beetles for punch buggy.  we’ve been playing punch flex for damn near a decade now.  they’re distinct, but also kinda sorta look like other cars so you get false positives (and the associated point deduction/punch for those).  they’re common enough to see on even short road trips,…

considering 1995 was the last year Aflas were sold in the US before coming back with the 4C, I hope this seller has all the import paperwork complete.  because that car screams “I’m gonna get taken and thrown in a crusher by the cops”

i don’t think the middle of the roof is where torsional rigidity is added to cars, but I’m not a car designer.  I believe that strength is usually above the pillars, where a sunroof would not have an impact.

if they want to gatekeep so bad, they should get rid of a steering column since this thing is designed to go only in a straight line 

probably my 1994 Alfa Romeo Spider. I absolutely loved it, but being 6'1", I had to drive legs akimbo and basically heel-toe all the time. I learned later in life, after I had sold it, that you could get a couple extra inches by modifying the rail the seats slid on, but even at that it would have still been tight as…

I know it was pre-Bethesda, but in Fallout 2 you could become a porn star, and started out as a fluffer because, hey, five chips is five chips.

if I understand it correctly, the diverging diamond is better for interstate interchanges where you have multiple ramps entering and exiting the roadway. it allows more unfettered access to the ramps while still creating pauses in traffic flow with lights. a roundabout is better for surface streets where you just have…

there’s a great diverging diamond down in ruiral-ish NC outside Wilmington. I got to experience it one time coming back from the beach when a gas shortage hit due to a hurricane hitting gulf coast refineries. anyway, one of the last places you’d expect it, i suppose

literally “other than that how did you enjoy the play, Mrs. Lincoln?”

i’m a huge fan of tapcon.  some of the anchor packages come with the proper drill bit, others you have to buy separately.  I’ve used them in cinder block and brick to great success.

whose washing machine’s spin cycle is so bad you need to hand wring water from your clothes when it is done?

With an accident on the record, I’d expect this to be asking to be closer to $30K, not $40K. No dice.  But I’m sure if he puts it up on Bring a Trailer, someone will need to launder enough money to get him close.
