I can understand the desire for a taller vehicle, but can’t see myself in an SUV/CUV or truck. I’ll just be that weirdo in the corner with his minivans...

So, an all Japanese Evora? I like it...

Yup - two different connectors in 15 years really threw me for a loop, three if you count the Micro USB ports on the Mophie cases.

Although not the same capacity, I do something similar using DVRs. I pick them up at the Goodwill Outlet for $0.99/lb and tear them open for the drives. They’re AV rated drives meant for 24/7 operation and are usually quite reliable. I normally get 500GB and 1TB drives in 3.5" and 2.5" sizes, avoiding units with…

Re: Uighurs

My earliest memory, dating back to when I was just 3 years old, is having a kraut dog with my dad. Later on my order changed to include the full chili cheese menu (dog, burger and fries), with a kraut dog tossed in as well - complete and total overkill.

In the 45 years I lived in OC/LA, I don’t know if I ever went to Fatburger. I have been to The Counter but haven’t heard of Burger Lounge. Russell’s was always a favorite with me and my co-workers at Hughes Aircraft down in Long Beach, a place my dad turned me on to, but I think they went out of business back in the…

In two days I’ll be on my way to SoCal for a little vacation and escape from the rust belt. On my list of things to do are a stops at a few favorite fast food joints that I can’t get here in the midwest (Wienerschnitzel, Yoshinoya, Del Taco, etc.); you don’t need to tell me that they’re garbage because I already know…

People are looking at me as I drive along because every time Dolt 45's voice comes over the radio, no matter what he’s saying, I just keep shouting “FUCK YOU TRUMP!” until I change the station. I really want to keep abreast of the news, but at the same time I’m getting a rather sore throat from all of this screaming.…

Hey Mr. Wannabe politician: Don’t be an idiot - call a few weeks ahead and make an appointment. I would check in at 2:15 for a 2:30 appointment and would be out of there by 2:25. You’re welcome.

I know what you mean. When I bought my car there was a whole slew of colors - if you wanted an automatic. If you’re some kind of freak, like me, that wants to shift their minivan for themselves you had a choice of just three colors. Thankfully two of the three colors (a dark red and a dark grey) came with beige…

It’s working for Jay Leno...

I had a similar experience, but I think it had more to do with the things in unspeakably bad taste that my grandfather used to do to these poor cars in the mid to late ‘70s in the guise of ‘improving’ them. I remember one red and black checkerboard vinyl top that was so ugly I managed to spot it in the parking lot at…

Three yellow vehicles and one was a school bus? What’s wrong with us...

It’s amazing how many of those fancy press photos don’t show the front end. After the first few pictures I thought I liked this car, then I saw the front. Ewww...

I got screwed by this when I was unemployed and my credit rating dropped a bit. Funny thing was, when I was unemployed I was actually driving much less, which you would think would make me less of a risk.

After driving a 5-series E34 with a manual, like the one above, I am happy to drive a Mazda5 with a similar interior layout:

My first thought when I heard that there were tapes of Jared and Ivanka I immediately thought they were sex tapes. After getting over my revulsion and cleaning up the contents of my stomach from the carpet I realized that this was not the case. I sure as hell hope not...

How about having a 747 tail stand on the back of your tug and then ignore every safety rule you were ever taught and try to take a shortcut under the wing. It does not turn out well. If you weigh less than 300+ lbs like the idiot employee of mine that did this, it’ll probably kill you, driving the center of the…

$3K is just the down payment, metaphorically speaking. As numerous family members besides myself can tell you, all from first-hand experience, there’s nothing on the planet more expensive than an out of warranty German car. I have the receipts to prove it.
