Um... I've seen this design before...

"we here this guy parks like this every day"

@Tijuana Taxi:

@MrFizzle: Oh, I hope you're a troll. Of the manual transmission cars I've owned — exactly one has had the switch that you speak of (a 95 saturn — probably similar to Mr. X). And it stalls because the engine usually doesn't have enough power at idle to overcome the friction of the tires.

"Pick a cheap car, not a Benz. Something with a reputation for poor quality and shoddy engineering, it plays into the notion of injury through incompetence much better."

@Rusty Van Horn: A lot of the younger rat rod guys that I know are intrepid, entrepreneurial folks. They own their own small businesses and cooperate on projects.

12k for a big block Fox Fairmont Futura? Wow that's a lot of alliteration.

For all the people who are saying "Oh Gross!" to the idea of penis piercings, I pose some questions:

"We can rebuild him. We have the technology."

After the first one, I thought there couldn't be a worse "car movie" but then Universal Pictures trotted out the next three. Watching them makes me want to pull my hair out.

@jumpmanx2424: You mean like this one?

NSFW Language on this song... but it's exactly how I feel

@gypsypirate: My girlfriend is 25 and loves Hanson. She introduced me to Taylor's side project, Tinted Windows. They're really good. Like so good it almost makes me a little angry.

@Acefreakly: That reminds me of a quote from one of my favorite books/movies:

@magnets: That's why you have to be subtle about it. I just put on good music when I'm alone with my girlfriend and she gets to be the judge of whether she likes it or not. I don't make commentary — just let the music play. She knows she can change it if she likes. Sometimes she does; other times she rips my CDs on…

A few years back, musical tastes turned into the last straw. When my girlfriend became enamored with Faith Hill's cover of "Piece of My Heart," and I had to hear that soulless abomination repeatedly, I could no longer stand it. I told her that Hill sucked all the life, soul, and meaning out of that song by covering…

@PHIL: I've never driven a Corvair but I've been in a few. The second gen cars some of the best-handling cars of their era. One of the "dream cars" that will fill my garage one day is a '65 Corsa with the 180hp turbo six. In a story that I'm writing (hopefully to sell) one of my characters drives a '65 Corsa Turbo…

@new22003: If it's run by neo-conservative Christians, then they can strike the "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" part of the plaque.

@tonyola: I was just about to say that!

@jedi4life: If it's on private property and not funded by a government entity — it's okay by me. Banning that cross may have some unintended (but excellent) side effects — you know — like a ban on billboards writ large. It's basically the same thing — a private entity constructing an advertisement for its services.
