pretty sure he is proud that he would rather take less money than sell to an asshole

All of this.

Cash is king, sob stories from strangers are largely fraudulent, never to sell to someone you have to interact with on a regular basis (friends and family). Learned that the hard way. Not only do they bother you with crap you told them a thousand times was already wrong before you sold it to them for a bargain, but…

Or, they slightly underestimated our technological level from the intelligence they’ve gathered and…

Let me just say that if these are actual aliens, they have perfected a means of interstellar travel. A feat that is so far beyond our abilities, it beggars the mind. If they are being detected with our rudimentary radar systems it’s because they don’t care if they are detected. We didn’t simply “catch up” with…

But a helo isn’t really a fan spinning above the vehicle. That would imply that the fan is pushing the helo up into the air. In reality, the helicopter uses the same bernoulli principle to provide lift. Since the top form of the wing is longer than the bottom, the air rushes by faster, creating lift. But while the…

Less sorcery, more Sikorskory.

I was wondering where you were going with that...then you brought it home beautifully. Gold Star. COTD contender right here.

My neighbor got a blue Silverado recently. My wife tells me, “Did you see that nice looking truck our neighbor just got?”

Almost like you get less car for half the price. 

Putting my money on a 2-door lifted GT... something like this, but more civilized in a Barney’s valet:

The market hasn’t seen a ute since 2017

W-19. Seven down the middle, six either side.
