Ah Hell. I took twice as many fiber pills as I should and had Taco Bell for lunch yesterday. I’m going to have an investigation team in my house when I get home aren’t I?

You don’t eat snacks on road trips?

If you don’t understand the connection between 7 Eleven (especially Japanese 7 Eleven) and Car Culture, I dont know what to tell you bud.

Since when the hell is Maryland the “South”?

“watching videos of people going through 7-elevens in Japan”
We watch quite a few of the guy doing the overnight train rides and ferries in Japan.  I think I started with the vending machine ferry.

My wife would flip if we got a 7-eleven with that kind of stuff. She loves watching videos of people going through 7-elevens in Japan.

I used to travel to Japan for work, frequently. One of the highlights of that trip each time was when we’d finished our business and boarded the 90 minute train back to Tokyo. I’d always purchase 2 ikura onigri and 2 Asahi tallboys from the train station 7-11. $8 total; riding in style!!

I think it really depends on location. I don’t think any of this sells around my house, but maybe.

You're simply ridiculous 

I’ve found that most people, ordinary non-car fans unlike Jalops, seem to be happy in a 55-75mph speed range. They don’t, generally, seem to want to go up to 80mph.

Yeah, because that's pretty much the only people who can afford them

Why is it weird?

On average, I get paid about 20 cents a word, so no, I did not make $1,800 for this article. 

I join you in your hatred of chrome - especially chrome plastic. It is god awful, and outside of cars from the 50s and 60s, I don’t want to see it anywhere. So, I’m with you. And hey, contrary to the other poster, I love the yellow lights. 

As an engineer who works on government contracts, lazy programming is par for the course.

Looks like you’ve pun-ctured my joke XD

They only re-tire if they’ve had a Goodyear. All those Continental flights, all Coop(er)ed up in the wheel well..... 

I’d like to know where the hatred stems from.

need to curb the use of puns, its tire-ing. 

They get early re-tire-ment?

I’ve been around since the console wars were between Atari and Mattel Electronics.
