RE: stupidity, I generally just be honest with them. I got pulled over in Bumblefuck, Texas once, and the officer asked me why I was going so fast. I told him I was just “getting down the highway.” Got a warning.

My brother had a Celebrity as his first car. It was a hand-me-down from our grandfather who had to be put into a nursing home after he had a stroke. Smoking kills, kids. Anyway, you would not believe what an incredible piece of junk of this car was. I swear all the plastic in the interior fell off at one point or…

And that is literally the definition of a junk yard. It’s where you go to get spare parts from non-operable cars. Junk yard.

This is such an obvious crack pipe. Maybe you could reach out to the sellers in the future and find out what they did to their cars before posting them?

This is still just a junk yard, not a “car collection.”

There’s a junk yard for sale in Canada, eh?

The thing is that my parents are retired and the only people that ever ride anywhere with them are my two nephews. They don’t have any gear. It might be useful to some people to have an huge SUV that can hold six people, all their gear, and tow some ATVs. Those people are not my parents. The Excursion is just…

My dad has one of these with a gigantic diesel engine. It’s just sitting in his driveway, because he and my mom have a Wrangler, a Lexus, and Boxster. I have told them to sell this thing, but he says he won’t, because “they don’t make them anymore” which is about the dumbest reason I have ever heard for keeping a…

Yeah, man, I don’t know. I had to give up the game a couple weeks ago because I was spending too much time on it. It certainly can feel like the matchmaker is against you sometimes, but I promise that it’s not. It can get screwy if there is an event that draws people to certain tiers. I’m not denying that tier 3…

I just quit playing WOT on the Xbone. It’s a great game, imho, and I had to give it up because it was taking up too much of my time and mental energy. The game is simple on its face, but difficult to master. Good players can make a huge difference in each battle, but most people won’t know what they’re doing for a…

No tier 3 tanks play tier 7 without fail platooning. Sooo, you’re doing it wrong. There are a few tier 4 tanks that play tier 7—the M5 Stuart, M5A1, T-80, and the Luchs—but otherwise you will see an occasional tier 5 game at worst if you’re playing tier 3 tanks.

That’s a weird, off-kilter response. First off, note that I didn’t say Iran was the “biggest” state sponsor of terrorism. I just said that their sponsorship of terrorism is a problem, and that if they gave it up, it would reduce tensions in the area. And that is undoubtedly true. But yes, their support for…

Maybe try to get the reviews written and published in a timely manner? While I enjoyed reading the recent review of the Cadillac CTS-V, your writer apparently drove it sometime last summer? Does it really take nine months to write a car review?

“The last time an aircraft carrier has been used in battle was in World War II.”

Yeah, that was kind of my point. I’m not overly worried about Iran’s tanks. They are at best up-armored versions of second generation MBTs. The Abrams (and the Air Force) likely would not have an excessive amount of trouble dealing with these vehicles, especially since Iran probably can’t produce more than a…

Call me crazy, but that sure looks like a T-72 with a bunch of applique armor. Maybe there is an indigenous turret design under there? Maybe?

What is the point of this line of thinking? If you listen to the episode, Wyman states that Rome did not have a theory of economics. There were no Adam Smiths or Karl Marxs or John Maynard Keyneses. You’re trying to analyze an ancient economic system in terms they would not have understood. If you were transported…
