We drove into town behind a low slung exotic car Friday night, wondering exactly what it was. Finally the driver took his foot off the brake at a light, and I could see the Alfa insignia.

Folks, President G W Bush signed the agreement with the Iraqi government specifying how many torrps could be based in Iraq and when. President Obama may have attempted to renegotiate that agreement, but the rules say without Iraqi agreement, the existing agreement was in effect.

Last car we bought, I test drove a Buick, which was surprisingly - no, shockingly quick and sporty. Then I saw a C-300 M-B with 8K miles on it, for $5 less than the nice Buick... hard to buy a Buick that costs more than a Benz. The Benz is like it’s on rails on a twisty road.

Chrysler TC by Masarati - my Dad bought one, traded a cherry LeBaron Convertable in on it, got a good deal at a Chrysler dealer in Sarasota FL. He titled the car in his name and mine, I inherited it when he died 11 years ago (seems like yesterday!). The car is still cherry, never a scratch!

We bought a RV trailer and used it as a bunkhouse, parked in my cousin’s backyard while I built a cabin in AZ mountains. It was flimsy and fragile, and cost $10K used. I hated it, and sold it as soon as the house was finished.

It seems to me that digital models built using fresh water data could be adapted to salt water use with either a simple constant or a more complicated function that would make the change from fresh water to salt water painless. They do have computers, which are used to build models, which can be revised and re-run…

I’m a progressive liberal, ex-USN sailor (Bonsun’s Mate) and I agree that Republican/conservative leadership is not good for the military, nor for the veterans. Look at the period 2000-2008, and how well the military was served by President G W Bush’s executive branch. Not at all!

This is very specifically NOT civil disobedience, which means disobeying a law (like segregation laws, and black guys being arrested for sitting at “whites only” lunch counters!) that you personally disagree with. This event was demonstrating a personal dislike for the speaker, his opinions and his supporters in a…

And then he could have beat her to death with no video to show what a monster he is. So that could have been a lot worse. Dead little girl instead of beat up little girl.

After watching the initial impact several times, it looks like the first missile hits obliquely on the fo’castle, and veers off to the starboard side before exploding less harmfully beside the hull, while the second one penetrates before exploding through the entire ship.

And what if you don’t want a four-door, but need a long bed to haul plywood, lumber, hay, etc, etc. Stuff people buy pickup truck for, in other words.

This!! We drove a couple, seemed like they all had CVT transmissions. We both hated the transmissions, drove back to the Sube shop, left w/o a Subaru. The rest of the car was great, though. But that droning motor sound and the CVT itself was horrible.

Pretty sure there was a lockable storage compartment under the back seat of a Ford F-250 super duty we owned briefly. I bought it used in 2014, I’m thinking it was a 2011, with just 20K miles or so. White with a gray interior. It wasn’t foldable like the one being demonstrated, which probably means it was sturdier.

Dude, I’m pretty sure that’s the alternator, not a turbocharger in any way shape of form!

Those two players should have left the field immediately after that play, in custody, with their hands cuffed behind their backs. After spending some time alone in the back of a cruiser, they should have been interviewed with maximum legal sternness with an eye to arresting coaches for conspiring in assault with…

I’m also interested in this little turret at the back end. What could it be?

Air France and KLM have big discounted Business Class fares to Paris right now. Not dirt cheap, but not sky’s the limit either.

In many states ordinary guns don’t need to be registered at all. Fully automatic machine guns need to be registered, and you need a special federal license to won those. But so-called assault rifles which are semi-automatic one round per triggger squeeze do not.

All these stories break my heart. Small towns seem so hard when anyone breaks the silence surrounding a popular person - football star, teacher, band leader - and tells the truth about them.

This! So this. He is surrounded by pederasts, abusers and rapists, and probably believes that all women want to have sex with every man they see. Commuting the sentence of a rapist, who probably got a minimum sentence anyway, is evil.
