The other day I was watching the John Oliver segment on warehouses, (basically Amazon) and got to thinking about my Summer job back in coll3ege (late 1960's). I worked at the A&P Warehouse for about $2.00/hour. I was so enthsed about it because it was the first job I had where I could make over $100/week with overtime…

We are fortunate enough to have a very good, honest garage here in my town. The other day I took a friend’s car in for a couple of problems, and frankly they could have charged me a couple hundred dollars and I wold have been none the wiser. Instead, the guy pointed out my problem (so that I could fix it right there…

I’m in the 50/50 Coke/Cherry group. I am sure there are a lot of us out there.

Well, Rob, I read this and thought you finally had a winner. This car checks ALL of the right boxes for me, and I would be after it in a minute if I were in the market. 

I renewed my license recently in Florida, and was kind of shocked when they told me to remove my glasses. Previously, I can remember being told to keep them on. I guess glasses screw up the software, or something.

Hell, I’ve been into the MCU since it’s start, but even I didn’t know who he was until they made such a big deal out of him in Black Panther. The way Marvel shoots and edits films, they may have never been in a studio together.

This just came up on The Way Back FB page. You got any sharks in your car?

Is it better than an Escalade?

Every year our Car Club is invited to join a local July 4th Parade. I find it funny as hell that we are the Nature Coast Englich Car Club/Suncoast Classic MG Club (yes, we have two names). 

Two things.

For the life of me I can’t understand how this is a selling point on a car like this. Lord knows how much of the selling price is taken up with this hybrid technology, and I can’t imagine anyone in the market for a car like this actually cares about it at all.

No one else seems to be saying it, so I will.

A little input from a guy who was there. When the Gremlin came out, a friend bought one and we all laughed. Turned out to be a very nice little car, reliable, well constructed and plenty peppy. He was about 6'2", and I never heard him complain about not enough room.

And to think that back in the Stone Ages you actually had to stick your key in the keyhole and turn it to open the trunk. OMG!!! How did we survive?

There really is a simple one word answer to all of this.

Even when I lived in Maryland, I lived in the “country” area and had to drive about 50 minutes to work. Being on back, counry roads, my trip was a great way to get hyped up for the day and to unwind at the end. 

I truly love watching these cars being put through their paces on the various tv shows and You Tube clips, but I would never want to own one. I suppose that if I won a Gazillion dollars on Powerball or such my thoughts might change, but I don’t think so.

The whole “meaning of the universe” thing was depicted perfectly for me in the final scene from one of the “Men in Black” movies.

Christ, I don’t remember seeing any of these on the streets when they were NEW! Econoline PU’s, yes. Jeeps, yes. Corvairs, yes.

Interesting to know that the Cotillion is still a thing. I remember attending Mrs. Hick’s School of Dance, whare the Cotillion was the final culmination of the year. At the time (early 60's) I lived in Towson, MD, just North of Baltimore.
