I took my 80 year old father to the movie over the weekend, and we both really enjoyed it. He is more than old enough to have watched the TV show during its original run, and I grew up watching reruns of it during the Seventies. This was a good way to update the series for the big screen. The style is updated, but the…

Like that has anything to do with my comment about Ali’s post? Wrong thread, perhaps?

That may well be true, but it makes one wonder why you could not avoid seeing one of those eyesores constantly when they first came out.

“Falling on a grenade” is a surprisingly accurate description of what it is like to drive a PT Cruiser.

“One lap” meaning that Robb did not share the driver’s seat during his thousand times around the track.

Hey, I just introduced my twentysomething nephew to your writing via your Skyline GT-R blogging, and he enjoyed your 50 year old grandmother humor so much that he signed up for Twitter just to follow you.

I had to learn this lesson the hard way. Fortunately, my wife and I learned it on the spot, rather than waiting to vent on Yelp afterward. We bought a Focus ST from an AutoNation in the Twin Cities area one week ago, and we traded in our 2014 Fusion toward it. I had not researched the trade-in value on the Fusion…
