12:30pm would be lunch time, so go for it.

LOL. You do realize you’re reading Jalopnik, right?

Why don’t you just say “no”?

And flaking at a wedding? If you commit and then back out, the wedding party is still going to pay for your dinner and booze. That’s shitty to do.

Flaking and being late is, IMHO, disrespectful. Wasting someone else’s time is never OK and being consistently late for agreed on meetings or not showing up at all is ridiculously rude.

My dad, back when I was 11: “Son, the difference between adults and children is planning.” Here in my late 50s, that’s become evidently true.

Big bowl of ice cubes were usually involved to numb the lobe. Potato was to prevent neck sticking.

Heh. Age will come for you, too, young one. Chuckle now.

That’s great, but what about stopping? There’s where car pilots cause the most grief for trucks; cutting them off, stopping short, jumping into the safety cushion the truck is leaving ahead of them and so on.

We’ll be rolling Rt. 50 at some point in the next two weeks. I’m sure of that. It remains one of my favorite roads in the whole country. Find a spot to pull out, get out of the car and stand there for 5 or 10 minutes listening to the silence.

Stop trying to distract yourself or make it productive time. Be involved instead. Look out the window and think about your life or what it must be like to live in the place you’re driving through.

Soichiro is spinning in his grave.

Cars either don’t lean in the corner or they lean the wrong way.

I find your lack of imagination disturbing.

I had a friend with an old Monte Carlo that required premium. He’d always put the cheap crap in it and then complain that it knocked. He was very careful about calculating cost per mile, so he figured he’d just spend less on gas.

Gonna need a big bucket of KraGl, stat, along with an LS1 motor.

It simulates what used to be a very common activity back before digital cameras showed up; sitting around looking at photos you just got back from being developed at the photo lab with friends.

Yes, though with an Airbus, they might only have one engine left if they powered one down. They should still be able to fly and land safely, however.

Too many models, not enough differentiation. Why would they make the GT at all? It’s the sedan with a really ugly trunk/hatch thing on it. If I’m thinking I want more capacity than a sedan, then I’ll buy a wagon, not that horrid thing. And if I want more than that, I’ll buy an X3.

I take walks around my neighborhood pretty regularly.
