I was reading an article about a famous local sculpture being relocated in Cleveland, and they mentioned something profound. Supposedly Cleveland’s own Viktor Schreckengost designed the first cab-over-engine truck?! I need more info!

The Mustang II had me at ‘weird RWD hatchback with a V8 and t-tops’.

Maybe they were being literal. “Well, my family left Africa 40,000 years ago.”

It's the number one WORLDWIDE. That's doing ok.

I drive a 2010 Camaro. I have yet to have an issue with visibility. Maybe I’m the perfect height. Or I can turn my head. I don’t know.

I got $20 on Edwin Jarvis, and another $5 on Dane Whitman (Black Knight).

When I was working in Barstow, I was looking for a new car. I settled on a Mustang convertible in grabber blue. The dealer in town refused to order me that car or even look for it. A second dealer left me sitting in the cube for 40 mins, leaving with a printout of the options I wanted. Needless to say, I now drive a…

So, I should apply Shae directly to the forehead?

Hahaha. Try NPR instead of Fox News. I got my tax refund deposited. We’ve got a surplus. We’ve got tons of start ups. And all those illegals don’t get benefits but they DO pick half of the country’s food. If you can find some Americans to pick oranges for 10 hours a day for $3/hour, by all means employ them. Unless…

I once took a job that seemed on the up and up, right in my field (biology), and decent pay/benefits. They then never paid my promised moving bonus and I found out they had no job for me. I mean, they paid me, but didn’t need a biologist. I worked about 2 days doing my actual job every 2 weeks and still managed to…

I lived in Barstow (because of Ft. Irwin) and my highlights included 2 cars being broken into, my house being broken into, an attempted mugging, and a gang shooting in front of my house. I was in Watts once. I enjoyed a lovely BBQ there. So, the moral is Barstow is the gateway to hell / Mordor / somewhere unpleasant.…

“...no bad locations.” You've clearly never been to Barstow.

The government works well... Mostly. And real estate is pricey but affordable if you go slightly rural.

At least we won't ever have Chinese cars in the US that way?

I just got a rejection letter for my first novel. Far from my first rejection letter. Do it. If you fail, it's best to fail spectacularly.

I'm not ashamed to admit I own that.

I drive one daily and never have an issue with visibility, all 100,200 miles of Camaro fun. Maybe I'm taller? Shorter? Am an expert of using mirrors? No idea.

I really want the Ecoboost convertible, but in yellow I'm looking at $36,000. Can I afford it? Yes. Can I justify it? Hell no. Maybe I'll get a 6 cylinder... Or see what the next Camaro looks like.

That reminds me of covering my jackets and vests with pins and patches. From alt/punk to anime. Interesting how trends spread, change, and reappear.

If by crappy you mean most reliable, then yes.
