I had a friend who was a flight attendant in the 80s and 90s. He is a big tall guy. He had a kid on a flight once that was creating a big fuss (running, screaming, etc) parents did nothing. So my friend took the kid aside by one of the emergency exit doors, leaned over him from his 6 foot plus height and very quietly…

What about Chekhov’s billionaire?

Self exploding Pinto. No , I do not miss it.

I also just watched it after a friend at Thanksgiving raved about it.  I said the same thing you did. Dallas and Dynasty. 

Corvette - old white guy. One almost ran me down recently. He was making a right turn on red & didn’t bother to look to his right before starting forward.

I’m old, so Carrie, the hand reaching from the grave.

Even the Eclipse? 

Green Pinto, green AMC Hornet, green Jeep Grand Cherokee, green VW Jetta. I have been longing for a green vehicle for the last 17 years.

When they made the Rav4 bigger, I asked the car salesman why. He said that people wanted bigger. I thought the smaller Rav4 was fine. Guess its back.

My Scion XB has been a perfect car for me these past 9 years.  If they still made it, I would buy it again.  Next year or two I will upgrade to a car with all the modern cons, safety, etc. and this might be the one. I want the higher upright seating position that the XB gives me.

I’m old enough to have seen F1 in Long Beach. My seat was right above James Hunt’s pit box.

I owned one of the self exploding Pintos.

He has a different wife now.

Fuck that coward. If you want to kill yourself, then kill yourself. Taking others with you is all about your ego and desires. 

I’m 65, I don’t want to drive an old lady vehicle. Would I like this?

I had one of the self-exploding Pintos. Need I say more?

“the highly affected way Tanya took those tiny sips of champagne on the boat.”

Had an AMC Hornet for 10 years and a self-exploding Pinto for about the same number of years. Yes, my family didn’t have much money.

Yup, my mind immediately went to a lot of white people thinking its just blacks getting cooked, so who cares.

Went to look at the Element when it first came out.  The sales lady said exactly what you did. That the young kids weren’t that interested because of price but that it sold to older folks.
