A buddy of mine’s parents bought the sedan version of this car when I was in high school. They got the version that talked. We tried to use it to pick up chicks. Alas, having a car that tells you your lights are on was not enough to overcome our natural limitations with the ladies.

Makes sense. Thank you.

Someone help me out here. Why would water destroy the engine? I can understand it not running, or running rough, but when he says ‘it let go’ that makes me think that it exploded. Maybe there was just enough gas to fire but it was mostly water so it overpressurized? Like water injection but on a more massive scale. I…

CP for me because I don’t have the time/money/skill for that level of repair. For someone in a different situation, I can see this being a great project.

That’s right, I don’t want no damn gubmint tellin’ me what’s safe and what aint. Besides, if I have a seatbelt on I can’t get thrown clear in a wreck. That happened to my buddy Cooter in his ‘72 Chevelle just before it blew up. Only reason he’s alive right now.

Full Disclosure. I went to TCU (long before Dalton) and am a huge fan. I have signed Dalton jerseys. I love a good underdog.

+1. If a loser whines in the forest and no one reports on it, does anyone really care?

The reality is that we all want you to buy it so that we can read about your misery without actually having to take part in it.

The absolute worst was a horrible case of poison ivy all down my chest and abdomen. Someone convinced my mother to make a paste of Epsom Salts and water to slather on it to ‘dry it out’. Talk about excruciating. I would rather just have my skin ripped off.

I remember that incident. Amazing picture.

I live near Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. There is a Korean Airlines 747 that I sometimes see coming in for landing on Saturday mornings. I never ceased to be amazed that something that god awful huge can fly. It always looks like it’s just on the edge of a stall.

I had a 2006 Mazda3 and loved it. I really love the idea of the manual transmission and the engine. On the face I think the price is acceptable. However, I am still going CP because of the rust. Not unlike Rob, being from Texas I don’t have enough experience with body rust to know if that is significant or just…

Born in South Carolina, raised in Texas. Had family that (supposedly) fought for the Confederacy. I have no use for these people who use the Confederate flag to talk about their ‘Heritage’. Slavery was wrong. They tried to leave the United States because they wanted to continue to own people and use them. They lost.…

Although I feel strangely (and disturbingly) attracted to this, I have to say NP.

Ok, so on the face of this it seems like a pretty lame move, but what if this is actually a move into a new market for the Big Baller Brand? American’s arent’ the only ones who drop $495 on a pair of kicks. Maybe he is trying to get them into Europe, especially Eastern Europe?

Dude, how about a little bit of reality here? The kind of setup you are talking about would cost so freaking much money the taxpayers would puke. You want high-availability fail-over for EVERY single dinky little server in the datacenter? You want ‘cheap and ubiquitous’ cloud storage for potentially sensitive data in…

I have been reading about Theodore Roosevelt lately and it’s the same thing. He did so many great things but certainly had his faults. The key is to recognize the bad but learn from the good so that every generation does a little bit better than the one before.

I made that exact same mistake on a two-barrel carburetor on a 1977 Ranchero GT. I was doing a rebuild on the carb (my first) and thought the slots in the screws meant it needed to be taken apart.

And while a shot of Emergen-C won’t do any harm, it might not do any good either.

CP before I even read the article.
