Why would you go through all of this to get the Euro van of your dreams and then start replacing Euro-spec parts with American spec parts? Keep the weird hood ornament, and the tail lights with ambers.

Yes. The loophole is, if you in the group you just ask for forgiveness and no one can say shit to or about you. If you are not in the group, nothing you do will ever make up for any wrongs.

I’m not pro-military or pro this guy, but the academies are different than just enlisting. Naval Academy has a ~9% acceptance rate, per Google. Though this guy probably couldn’t cut it even if he were accepted.

I feel like candies have largely become either softer or sweeter or both in the US in the past few decades. Two examples are Jolly Ranchers and Starburst. Both, as I recall anyway, used to have more of a fruit tang to them in addition to their sweetness but now are largely sweet only.

The question is, did you sell it before or after it went insane? Maybe that’s how you got all that sweet, sweet Changli money??!!!??

The Mercury is obviously sweet, and crazy that it is a two-owner car. But your truck looks brand new!! Nice pair!

Wow. Glad you saw it for what it was (that something was wrong) at the time and got out. Been through something similar myself except they never admitted it.

Not asking for sordid detail, or any detail really, high level is fine. But how much different or worse was it than you were initially told?

Actually, it highlights that only the external tank was disposable on the Shuttle (STS), while everything except the Orion capsule (which isn’t part of the launch vehicle) is disposable on the SLS.
