I’m as ‘old school’ as they get, and I see no reason for 30-round magazines at all, for any legitimate use. I see no reason for 15-round pistol mags. I’m a retired Gunnery Sgt., and I do go as far to own a bolt-action rifle and a revolver. I have many Expert awards, and can personally tell you that any situation is…

Maybe it’s because women’s hips are wide, so that and those breast things would make you less aerodynamic.

Nissan (the car company) didn’t really sink that much money into it. I’ve worked at a couple big companies. They keep lawyers on hand, and some are even employees. They usually just sit around drinking coffee and reading papers to find something worth pursuing. When you have your own lawyer you’re paying anyway, it’s…

This is about the only case I remember anyone winning. Apple got theirs through bulldozing the little guy, and several others.

The problem with some of the cute safety things is that you will eventually adopt it by getting used to it.

I supposed ‘made’ and ‘assembled’ are the same thing in your book. Aren’t S&S blocks Mexican now?

The 1971 VW Super Beetle only had a few different keys. I was in a mall, walked out, got into a blue Beetle, started it up, and then noticed it wasn’t mine.

For your comment, to tell the truth, I would pay a right penny if Chevy would build me a brand new 1949 Suburban.

Which is really strange, considering how difficult it was to get a big bike when I was over there. They even had a bunch of old bikes laying in the area. You had to pick up from a laydown the class you wanted.

Yes, they are an icon. They led the way with the ‘Buy American’ movement. But now, their engines are from Mexico, chrome from Taiwan, electrics from Japan or China, etc... etc... etc... A Gold Wing has more american made parts.

Yes. And then we built more of everything than everyone else and whooped the axis powers. Worked out okay in my book.

Because they only quoted the biggest, most easily removable parts. How much would a complete transmission run? etc...etc...

Blame the dealers for this. I was driving at night in my Silverado, when something flashed in front of me too fast to brake properly. It was an owl, and the poor thing got mangled in my grille. I went by Chevy the following week, and you want HOW MUCH????? for that thing???

Your b) comment is the most important. I lived in Georgia for 18 years. During that time, they rolled back emissions testing to older and older cars, back to 1978 models, while I was there. Suddenly, older cars had to be tested, which was a windfall for the ‘brother-in-law’ shops that you paid for ‘tune-ups’ that…

There’s several around here. A ‘71, a ‘72, and a ‘74. I’ve seen a ‘68/’69 around somewhere, too.

But if they had to be stock, they would BUILD RWD cars again... with manuals!

They are only allowed to fight while surrounded by pit crew members who pull them apart before anybody gets hurt. There is no more; “Meet me in the parking lot in 10 minutes!”.

“Driver used Bump!”

They’re only earning points for that race. Once eliminated from the ‘Playoffs’, you can’t win the series anymore. You can win the race, but you’ll never get another shot at the big trophy.

I was raised in Rockingham, and even watched a race from the pits.
