I still want one of these. Easy to load and unload with the drop-down sides, and plenty of locking storage underneath.

That’s one party I don't want to attend, and one to which I do not want to be invited...

At the age of five I knew better than to use this word. Why should a teenager be exempted?

Whereas this idiot is talking through his...

I’m not dead yet, so I made sure mine is equipped with the 6MT. I may be old and responsible, but that doesn't mean I can't have a little fun behind the wheel.

Build it - why the heck not? It’s not like people actually drive their supercars, so it will just sit in a warehouse somewhere, ostensibly gaining more value the less it is driven.

The aircraft were built for a now defunct Russian airline, but they never took delivery. To the best of my knowledge these aircraft have remained in the US since they were built.

They may have been ordered by a Russian airline but they never took delivery and the aircraft have been in the US since they were built.

Actually, the flight deck of SAM 28000 and 29000 (VC-25) are still mostly the analog gauges and three-person flight crew of the 747-200 on which they’re based, with some of the primary instruments replaced by glass instruments, with the installation of TCAS being an important item that couldn’t be done on a mechanical…

I’ll bring the flaming arrows...

You’re not wrong about any of this. I moved to STL for work from SoCal about 7 years ago and it has certainly been a learning experience to say the least. Living in the city is certainly better than being out in the white flight suburbs, and at least we have Illinois close by if we need to escape the bumblefuckery…

There are a handful out there, but people with the 6MT, like me, don't want to give them up. I know that I'm keeping this one forever. I have only seen one other one out on the road.

I rode around in mom’s Vanagon in a bean bag chair...

And that’s why I'm glad that my car has a happy face 

He has other people do the peeing for him, or so I've heard...

Thanks. I’m doing pretty good, all things considered. It was caught in time and surgery was successful. I’m just going through chemo right now and it seems worse than the disease it’s treating - some days are better than others, but for the most part I'm fine. For the most part I slept through yesterday, so I should…

We’re not doing too bad right now. Despite firing one dispatcher and losing another one to cancer we’ve been doing OK; we’re limiting the number of trips and hired more dispatchers and brought in some temps to do customer service calls which frees up the rest of us. Thanks to my own battle with cancer I haven’t been…

I work in public transportation as a dispatcher for the paratransit division. We’re a 24/7 operation, so during staff shortages it’s sometimes required.

In my defense my commute is only 2.3 miles and the vast majority of it is through residential neighborhoods so the speeds were quite low. I just needed a day or two until the weekend when I could get it fixed. I was working a lot of mandatory OT and couldn’t take care of it during working hours.

Those are awesome.
