Funny how the Mercury Cougars of the day looked the same as these.😕

The fuel may have gone up when they bought it, & they’re still trying to turn a profit on it. That’s usually the reason diesel prices lag behind gasoline price changes.

Most shops won’t let customers in the back due to “insurance reasons”, but you could always tell them to pull it out of the garage & show you outside. They’ll usually let you in the back if you say that.

The Deltawing curse must’ve carried over...

It’s like boring a 4 cylinder over .2L for 3HP.

Could be that the Acura downshifted a couple of gears to slow down w/o braking...

I wonder which method traceurs use, since they’re all about maximum efficiency.

Oh yes, they’ll get the job while they’re in college, I’m talking about after they’ve graduated.

They really should’ve called “affirmative action” “corrective action”, since you know, discrimination and whatnot.

An inexperienced college student won’t get a job flipping burgers because they’d be deemed overqualified. Unless of course they left that whole college thing off of the application.

Then you have those companies that want you to have a 4yr degree & 10yrs of experience.

You’re spot on about counselors lacking in options. At my high school they were too sorry to get the word out about the robotics class they offered which also netted you a certificate (that you’d normally go to college for) at graduation. I think only 6 people out of my class were ever enrolled in it. Then they had…

It always bugged me that they took a lot of trade type classes out of high schools & shut down a bunch of Job Corp centers. Even if someone quit school in 10th grade, they could still have learned a marketable skill. At the very least, they’d have the knowledge to be a helper which could put them on the path to be an…

What dolly were you using to get the rolling shot?
