I’d give three hours for integrity any day.  hell, I’d give 6 weeks, which seems to be the ‘Bush v. Gore’ threshold of how to fuck things up.

no.  no I did not.

there needs to be a “beer sales are back on after the 14th” mercy rule.

drive it at night.  I think I made Flensburg to Cottbus in under 4 hours once.  even passed a Polizei going 181.  (he himself was driving a brisk 160 or so.)

I am exhausted from the constant imagery of people screaming. people who are privileged and powerful and have absolutely no reason to scream. am I the only one here?

ehhh that’s an exaggeration. we are talking about a donnie here.

counterpoint:

where do I sign up to receive $69 million just for being a colossal tool?

I do my progressive brake lighting by hand. if I’m braking unusually hard (traffic at a dead halt around a curve, for instance), I’ll turn on my hazard blinkers for a few flashes until I see that traffic behind me has got the idea.

what if I don’t care about the infotainment system and just want my car to run? what’s the equivalent here of early 90s GM, for whom the anecdote is that they will run poorly well longer than any other car will run at all?

> he was one of the targets of the Unabomber

never trust that dweeby skull thing that’s all the rage among the white supremacists these days.

no preference. want to do something nice for me? figure out a way to make me not dead.

ahem.  was THE thoroughly spanked.

want intelligence? renounce football.

honestly, did they have to land before deplaning the fucker?

I’m sure his insurance company, having already underwritten everything else associated with the vehicle, shrugged and said ‘go ahead’ to this as well.

I think the rusted out Hyundai Excel up on blocks in front of the house down the road is fastest.  0.0 seconds ‘til top speed.

sure, the insurance payout is nice, but will Christian build you something else nice in exchange for mere currency?

I remember when 73 was a paradise - speed of traffic in the mid-90s.  now it’s just like every other freeway.  I’ll generally take 405-5 and not pay for the cutoff these days.
