As the owner/restorer of a beat to crap ‘94 NA (but with the manual) the bones are probably worth at least $4500. Either a manual swap or a turbo upgrade are possible (why not both?!), plus a paint job and the car triples in value. In the mean time, drive it and enjoy the smiles from the boomers as you rumble by.

Hands down, BMW M235i 2016 edition. Daily driven, weekly faults, monthly expensive repairs. BMW stands for Broken Most Weeks and boy is my wallet hurting. I’d go into details, but then I’d need even more money for the therapy. 

I’ll add three - add it to Risotto, add it to pasta with pesto sauce, add it to your pizza. This year, I went with pesto and I don’t regret it at all!

It’s worth the trip and plan to spend at least a half-day because there’s plenty to see. 

The Cord Duesenburg Museum in Aurburn IN has a great example of a Tucker on display, I was there a couple of years ago and took some pics you can use to compare to the “movie prop”

COTD RIGHT HERE, FOLKS! Why did we not know about this already?

those were the days!

Yup

to repeat a tired old phrase, “L O C K HIM UP”

Mint flavored moon pies of course, to prepare me to relocate to the moon as soon as the real estate market opens up

In Robert Heinlien’s 1966 The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, he proposes the ability to write jokes that resonate with human psyche is the key test to demonstrating sentience for an AI. Definitely a man ahead of his time!

came here to say that, leaving satisfied, well done GuessImStillALurker, although your commenting skills don’t live up to your name!

Same! though if you live in NC, you understand that it has to be a Cheerwine float because no-one here has any time for root beer!

Just my take, but ManRepeller was on the way out once it became a business instead of a blog. I loved her “seen on the streets” gonzo fashion reporting and was impressed with how well she captured the ethos of her generation.

Take it from a Carolina fan - Cam can’t play under pressure. He either throws interceptions or gets hurt. If the Patriots had an O-line willing to give a QB time for a three-step drop or a two check-down look, Brady would still be there with his laser guided rocket launcher. Cam always looks great in practice mode…

yeah, they probably do (fall outside the tax code), if you read the NYT article, Trump and his accountants have been fabricating deductions and tax writeoffs which is the target of both the IRS audit and the NY attorney general’s investigation

I agree with the comments above about most US colleges being flexible about supporting Mac/PC/Chrome platforms, but I will also repeat the caution about checking with your specific college and degree department because many of the science and engineering schools within a given college have either a definite preference…

100% of the deaths were caused by pre-existing conditions: primarily, being alive. And probably water. Since each and every dead person has been known to drink water, it’s probably the common thread. So everyone, stop drinking the water, water kills! Drink coconut water and you’ll live forever!

The “stint of vandalism” you noted is suspiciously timed, given the arrival of the RNC delegates this weekend in Charlotte in the Westin hotel across the street from the NASCAR Hall... The original RNC convention was slated to take place this week in Charlotte, NC in order to make a big impression on a critical swing…

you deserve at least a million more stars for the last sentence alone, well done!
