A guy I know knew Carroll quite well in his later days. He was always sending him gun catalogs from the Rock Island Auction Company. He owned a couple of cars from his collection, and still has the famous #98 Cobra. While it is true that Carroll did sign anything and everything put in front of him, but with 7 ex-wives…

If you are that impatient, take the stairs. 

Having worked at a major elevator/escalator company HQ (until they were sold to a Finnish company) I got to see a lot of reports on why we were being sued, but just the highlights - the main reason. So many kids that were sitting on them as they went up/down and got their butts jammed into the end, coats or sweaters…

I am a Honda motorcycle enthusiast. I’ve had several. They run forever. These really are nice touring bikes, if you don’t want a big Goldwing. Well taken care of, the 44k that it shows is just the beginning. However, the biggest problem with these is how rare parts are, and how expensive they are. 25 years ago, a…

Trunk money v2.0?

when I purchased my first ever new car, I/we were able to put down enough to take advantage of a 3 year 0% interest Toyota was running at that time. I kept bugging my wife to put $50 - $100 a month away after it was paid off so that we could do the same thing. Then came along high property taxes (thank you IL & county…

I did as well. I do not know why. 

hopefully this made it, but here is a picture of a VFR towing...another VFR. Motorcycles can get in on this towing this as well...and a sport touring to boot!

the 4Runner for 2018 & newer in the SR5 Premium & Limited trims only, have a third row.

the three Kia dealerships I went to were all fairly nice. I ended up buying one about an hour from me, but the dealership in town is where it will be serviced. 

it’s bigger than the 4Runner I traded in...

I went from a 4Runner to a Telluride. Oh, the differences. I’ve only logged 2k miles in a little over a month, with a 1000 mile trip in there to visit family. The ride is so much smoother, quieter, even compared to an Acadia. I miss some things about the 4Runner (after 11 years of ownership) like the back window. I’ll…

There are many places (some green tractor place) that has the same 2 tier paying system. the old guys are making bank, and have been there since year 2, and won’t retire because the pay is too good, and TBH, they stand around most of the day anyway, watching the noobs work. Or the contractors. Smoke break every 1/2 hr…

you’ve got a bachelor of science and only make <$16/hr? You need to relocate. I to have more that 20 years experience in IT, Associates, and making over that.

CP at any price. This car has been nothing but beat while driving. Even if stars drove this car, it’s been nothing but on the track. 

For the guy that wants to get the Jag - the more technical cars get with the big screens, everything run via that screen, engines compacted into tiny spaces, lane keeping, auto headlights & cruise, them more I am committed to get an extended warranty. Cars with bad reputations more so. Saved my in-laws a crap ton of…

Are you suggesting motorcycles migrate?

this would be my go to...

TRD = Toyota Racing Development. Not going anywhere, regardless of how much fun is made of it.

one - and only one - instance where the rider survived because of no helmet was rider slid off, went down into the ditch and caught a telephone box with their face at a high rate of speed. Medic on scene said head might have come off with helmet had he had it on. They have no real teeth left, had to rebuild his nose,…
