Chances are if it was that worn out, you could probably start it without a key...seen that many times in older Ford and Chevy trucks that got used a lot. I had a work E-250 that didn’t need a key at all. Just grab the ears and turn...

OK you win.

You go to the junkyard, grab one out of as many ignitions as you want, put them in your pocket, and walk out. Fucking hell, am I the only one who grew up with street smarts here? You’re making this way too complicated. ;)

Back in the early 70's when my mom bought her Datsun 510, Datsun only had like 10-12 key patterns...you had that good of a chance being able to open/start any other...and if you had all the patterns, you could take any of them...

Nah. this stuff gets around. That’s why everybody and their brother knew how to crack a column on the older GM’s like you mentioned. If they couldn’t do that, they were SERIOUS amateurs, first timers or something. Because you could teach a monkey to do that. Anyway, like I said also, shaved key works 50% of the time…

I like the Genesis, a lot. When they first appeared I got to drive one to the auto show. I was just floored by how well-built and substantial it felt...not that a Hyundai is any slouch either, but this was some next-level shit. I was surprised that they didn’t sell better than they do, but I think the comment below…

My neighbor had one of these...but not an original. He bought the Jensen as an insurance total, it had an engine fire and burned, but limited to the engine compartment. I want to say it had a straight 6? I remember it had dual carbs...they were the source of the problem, IIRC. He bought kits and rebuilt the carbs,…

That looks more like a pond find. Seriously...I’ve pulled cars outta water after years and years...this is what they look like.

Really nice. I had one looked just like it, but a ‘99 and 4x2. It was a nice vehicle. Tightest turning thing I ever drove. Was kinda funny how we ended up with it. My wife (ex) had bought a Mitsubishi Galant, 2003, I think it was 2 years old when we got it. So this was 2005 I guess. We headed to Florida in it for…

Well he is obviously an expert driver who has never made a mistake or pissed anyone off, so he is qualified to judge, obviously. I’d stay out of the way. LOL .

Behavior. Physiological responses.

I think Ross is being overly dramatic. They wouldn’t have made it far after plowing through the first two aircraft :)

Those are HUGE...carry like 2300 people. Wingspan almost a quarter mile. 12 engines. They just haven’t built the runways for them yet.

The runway wasn’t covered with snow and wandering moose...of course he’s not gonna recognize it...

I SOOO wanna be the first to ask if Harrison Ford was at the controls...can I? Huh?

Yeah it’s just like anything else...you see a hundred trucks a day that are invisible to you because they aren’t bothering you. Then one does something dumb, and you now hate all truckers, lumping them together as idiots. Same with motorcycles. One astrotard makes the group as a whole look bad to everybody. Same thing…

Ok, trying to make this my last word on the subject, so we can all move on...I’m going to say something that will totally peg whatshisname’s “holier than thou” meter, and it is, but it’s also irrefutably true.

Yeah I know...but it doesn’t cost you another $6-$8 in fuel each time you get shut out either...but it pisses everyone off. Me included. Until I remind myself that it’s really not gonna make much difference, in the big scheme of things. Then I just slide over behind them, and enjoy watching other drivers just…

I thought I was done, but I guess not. Yes, you have a valid point, although your delivery is kinda harsh. I word the same thought as there compared to the average driver there’s a good chance that a truck driver is any one or more of several things, including:

Right there is the crux. “The majority of”? Really? You took a scientific poll? LOL. Just like any group of people, some other group of people is going to lump them all in together and make broad, sweeping statements that simply aren’t true. When people get all twittered over a horrific big truck crash they saw on the…
