I’ve had four Wranglers and a wide variety of other SJs and XJs. I then bought a Raptor and thought, “Cool, it’s an F150, there will be even more stuff available!”

I only refer to them as grumpy grills now.

The party line here is that a Ridgeline is what most truck owners actually need, so here it is. Except the trunk is in front rather than under the bed, which is more practical

Long prior to writing The Wizard of Oz, Baum started a petroleum company, Baum’s Castorine Company, with his brother so perhaps he was on the cutting edge of automobile technology.

Thanks. He’s a decent enough guy, but I avoid talking to him.

BTW, by “certain subset” I mean young men who are vaguely into tuner culture, but also have something against buying foreign. I’ve seen this in the semi-rural midwest and I’m sure it exists other places.

I disagree. A proper name is integral to a car’s success. I think we’re all familiar enough with automotive history to remember the steam powered car from northern Ohio whose fate was sealed by the 1800s version of Urban Dictionary.

Selling the Cavalier was the right move and my first thought. I would have done my best to pull that dent with a plunger and send it down the road. Those are weirdly popular with a certain subset of the population and I’m not surprised it brought some coin. Keep the Durango, Crossfire, and maybe something else. 

I have a neighbor who always wants me to listen to his theories on 5G and why he refuses to have wireless metering on his water. I wish he would take up shitbox collecting.

I think this may be supplanting some of the crazy Porsches as my absolute favorite car available at any price. Considering the league it plays in, it’s a bit of a bargain.

Somehow this story crossed into my life long ago, probably in one of the many warnings about the old whitehouse.com and similar sites. I forgot about it until your earlier story. Maybe I’m getting old, but Mr. Nissan’s story always takes me back to the wild west days of the early popularity of the internet. While…

I saw him trying to talk her into “the lifestyle.” Could be both.

To be fair, at that RPM they’re off. Idle is higher than that.

BTW, when I was in Facilities Management making the LED switch was like a gift from above. One of the lesser known components is that the fluorescent bulbs are treated as Universal Waste, an odd category that has restrictions your standard waste/recycling doesn’t have, yet it’s not full hazardous waste. Eliminating…

And cheap to buy will never be as cheap as a used truck. 

I don’t think you’re wrong.

2035 is a shout out to America’s hat.

Shit. Sorry.

Yeah, unfortunately all I could think of was things related to The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife, so I think I’m gonna sit this out.
