i hope airport security told the gate agent to get fucked; how do you get detained for a “frowned upon”

Excellent - so use this as a reason to put rules on the judges regardless of political ideation.

Actually, they’re rare enough that if you buy real one, people will laugh and ask why you rebadged that iQ.

They’re rare enough that you could buy a use iQ and slap an Aston badge and Ford grille on it, and nobody would know the difference.

For what it’s worth, when I had my Focus ST with the 2.0L EcoBoost I put the Ford Performance tune on it and it made 300hp/360tq.  Just the tune, nothing else.  100k miles with that tune later (120k total on vehicle) when I traded it in and I hadn’t done a single engine related maintenance item other than oil changes.

You can get AWD on the Escape Hybrid. It uses a driveshaft instead of an electric motor. You can’t get the PHEV Escape with AWD though because the battery is too large for the driveshaft.

Mostly the filter feeders.

That looks like Taylor Ham to me, frenchie. What is the “pork.. roll” stuff you speak of? Also, that sandwich seems to be missing pepper and ketchup.

Charles Darwin handing out final warnings...

play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

At 44 he unfortunately probably doesn’t qualify any more.

Dont forget that time when a Russian telegram bot was set up for users to report Ukrainian troop movements during the crucial early weeks of the war, where following its discovery the resulting NAFO spam was so intense that the channel had to be shut down, possibly affecting the outcomes of actual battles on the…

I’ve never had the battery die on a piece of paper.

That car is beautiful. We had an 82 sedan bought new that my dad used to let me shift gears for him from the passenger seat when we were on the back roads. Unfortunately it rusted out before I was old enough to drive in it.
