I told my wife that my ‘66 Charger build would be “about $8,000". Body was done, engine was rebuilt, no rust; what could be that expensive? $20,000 later and she will never again believe a thing I say.

Moving out of the rust belt is the only known elixir for both.

Luckily a GMC truck has never been to a job site, so there is a very low probability of its shiny parts being damaged there. However, if a Williams-Sonoma starts selling logs or gravel, the concern could be warranted.

Later in the day I discovered your take on my favorite food and that many of my dinners were not, in fact meals, but just some sort of sustenance I shoved in my face while showing how low-brow my culinary habits are. SAD!

The pineapple, mostly. 

You better be able to write indelibly on oil for that price.

I certainly hope so, for everyone’s sake. 

HEYYY YOOOOOO

Never use a fork and knife with ‘za. That shit can be 6" deep dish with 3 lbs of cheese, come at me around 700 degrees and I’ll still cave man it. I have the scars to prove it!

Alanis King puts pineapple on her pizza, her deep-dish pizza, doesn’t she!?!? 

I like a good fine-point Zebra pen. It’s stainless steel, so I can wipe cooties off it, it has replaceable cartridges so I can keep it forever, it’s retractable, so I don’t have to worry about losing the cap, and it can be weaponized for use against long-winded coworkers who linger by my desk.

The fact that someone will pay $37,500 for it I suppose. 

I think it’s less “pen” and more “pen-is extension”. 

The $37,500 pen really marks a low point in this article. 

Got my reply in at 225. 

They should make a Texas in Europe; it looks good there. 

Sorry. This is the internet; you must take a side and blindly defend it with-or-without evidence, rationale or reasonableness.

Agreed. This is the Fundamental Attribution Error which drives the political divide. It was the same with Obama, Clinton, etc. . . The other fallible argument is that if something is successful, it is the result of “my party” even if they have been out of office for decades, but if it fails it’s because of “your…

Don’t come here and cloud the conjecture with facts. Dumb only here.

I can’t see this being far from your number if all systems are functioning properly. I would also suspect the driver. Maybe he/she/choosepronoun didn’t obtain enough pre-launch RPM to get the turbo spooled up. Clutch-smoke-inducing, but still the best way to get these old single-turbo units going: Create RPM+sidestep…
