brown the butter in the pan drippings you cooked that steak in right and pour on top. My Grandmama would approve.

Greenwashing is the worst of corporate malfeasance.

(but when a mother rams a 5 year old into the garage wall killing her own child, somebody must pay for her loss)

I can’t help but think of the IKEA MALM lawsuits. I have one of those “deathtraps” and the instructions clearly stated that it’s intended to be used with wall tethers. I’d lay odds those went straight into…

Nader was as bad as 60 Minutes... both took perfectly OK vehicles for their day/time and demonized them by doing things intentionally WRONG (then not saying so). Corvairs were designed to operate with 15 psi in the front tires. Nader pumped them up much higher causing a handling problem that could result in…

I read it ages ago, some is still relevant some is axe grinding. Stuff like Dieselgate and the Ford power shift debacle show car companies have not fully learned. Stuff like the Nader family having a large holding of Ford stock in 1965 and an ego driven presidential run tarnish the halo.

I don’t know why we call over engineered, overly complicated things a marvel of engineering. KISS

Cops generally lie. It’s what they’re trained to do.

and the ‘common sense’field sobriety tests are almost always not based on scientifically valid studies. Bruce was stupid to have ANY alcohol and then drive a motorcycle, but it would apppear that he was not legally impaired.  BTW, your remark about cops lying is a pretty good place to start with your assumptions in my…

As a criminal defense attorney, allow me to state first and foremost that the vast majority of police officers are trained pathological liars and that if one of them tells you so much as the time or the color of the sky you should first mistrust and then verify.

Ooohhh! Ooooooh!!!!

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a Ford product in this category or for that matter a GM or Chrysler product?  People who are car people often start by working on this kind of car.  The domestics are in danger of losing all their starter buyers.  And no, the EcoSport is no substitute.

ND ..AF These cars were built to be disposable, and at that, after 5 years. I owned an 82 Aries wagon and it fit that description perfectly.

I was about to write about how this is weird and people shouldn’t idolize other people to the point they keep things said idol incidentally came in contact with. Then i remembered my parents still have a t shirt I was wearing when Hillary Clinton visited my pre-school, evidently she touched my shirt and said she liked…

There’s just one thing that keeps bothering me:

Campaigned a Bugeye for a couple of years back in the Sixties. It was ever thus. You could get a Ti crankshaft for a Triumph Spitfire. 

I love crickets! The chirping sounds, the harmonies, the lonely cricket in the fall creaking out its last in search of a mate...

can you imagine how much good could be done if people like this put their efforts towards worthwhile causes instead of ripping people off? 

Do one on the FICON. Always loved the Goblin too.

Very true about the budgets and the modifications. Still, it's a very cool story about where he got the block. Goes with BMW's stories about where they got their turbo F1 blocks from.
