A friend of mine threw a big party for his kid’s 1st birthday, and got a Winnie the Pooh cake from Cake Boss, completely sculpted out of fondant. Everyone else was ooo-ing and aaw-ing over how good it was, and all I could think was how inedible the fondant was.

I ride a commuter train to work. Because of the stampede to get out of the lot in the afternoon, a lot of people back in to the spots. It makes sense, but I also watch people take 3, 4, 5 tries to get somewhere close to between the lines (and still usually fail). If you’re not capable of getting your car properly…

What’s even worse, a lot of RV parks wouldn’t let you in with a crazy aftermarket paint job or your old, quirky RV. I’ve heard stories where they’re as bad as the most restrictive HOAs. Pointless swooshes, bland colors, and no more than 20 years old only!

As far as the characters go, one of the students that they show multiple times looks a lot like Goose. It’s been forever since I’ve seen the original, but wasn’t Goose’s girlfriend/wife pregnant when he died?

Cadillac competes with Mercedes. Mercedes has a super wide screen, so now Cadillac does too.

I share your bodily dimensions, and sliding the seat all the way back is pretty much a given in most cars. It’s one of the main reasons I’m not a fan of 4-doors: With the seat all the way back, I’m always thinking about what the B pillar/seatbelt loop would do to my skull if I got T-boned. Even with a side curtain…

20k for a low miles C5 Vette convertible, 20k for a practical car.

I know you’ve already bought tickets, but you should really consider flying in to Salt Lake City, so you don’t have to do the pass in a snowstorm.

Snapdragon and Corpse Lily were surprising choices, but I’ve always said you’ve got to give kids names they have to live up to. That’s why if I ever have a kid their middle name will be Kickass.

Chevy: “Yes, hi Mr. Murray. We heard you had a mid-engine manual trans that can handle at least 700 hp...”

Hey Subway, you know what hurts your franchisees even more than the report? Keeping the story alive for almost 3 years by suing. But yeah, go ahead and spend a few more years appealing. That should help sales.

Most insurance companies do too. It’s pretty funny/sad getting full coverage on a classic car through normal insurance. I added my ‘72 Vette to my normal policy. It cost almost nothing extra, but if it ever gets totaled I think I’m looking at a payout of around $18. I really need to switch to collector car insurance...

For the same reason old Jeep Wagoneers are wagons, not trucks or SUVs - that’s what the company labelled them, and the diehards will fight to the death to prevent it from being called anything else.

It’s a good thing you didn’t just buy a high mileage Grand Cherokee with worn out steering bits to drive cross-country.

When I had a C5, there were 2 common issues that at some point would pop up for everybody. I probably had links for them back in the day, but don’t remember them.

Automakers already tried the planned obsolescence route. People didn’t like it. See- Chevy Vega.

I live in the DC area and use Metro all the time. I still can’t figure out the NYC Subway. I went there a couple years ago with a friend who used to live there. We went down to a subway platform, sat for a minute, then she said, “wait, this is the wrong train.” We then walked through several tunnels, took an elevator,…

My mom told me about visiting NYC when she was a kid. Her parents hailed a cab, got in, and asked to go to the Empire State Building. The cabby looked at them for a minute and said, “well, I could drive you around the block a few times or you could look up.” They were sitting across the street from it.

I just want comments to load on the first try. For the past several weeks I’ve had to refresh the page half a dozen times to get the comments to load.

It was definitely getting better. I really liked Rutledge and Tanner (when they weren’t doing ridiculous scripted things to make him lose), but fake Andrew Dice Clay was holding it all back. We get it, you’re from Jersey. And you don’t know shit about cars. Simply swapping him out for Dax would have made for a great…
