I was with you until you got to the “for 30 years” part. The only way to source enough parts to keep an old Audi running for 30 years is to buy a VAG factory.

Like a big garden tractor—somewhere between a garden tractor and a full size farm tractor.

Totally. It would have been sort of like one of those Morgan trikes.

Yes, to me this looks like a good excuse to invest in a Kubota with a plow.
Or an old Ranger with a plow.
Or an old F250 with a plow, and a diesel.
Or a new F150 with a plow and an Ecoboost V6.
Or a brand new Ford Raptor! With a plow, I guess, though probably at that point you’d want to get a Kubota so you don’t mess…

And just think, after all of this it will make nearly as much power as a new Briggs & Stratton!

There are certainly future conflicts for which the carriers will not be suitable. But to say that they are for the “wars of the past” is also reductive, because it ignores just how uniquely suited they are for the kinds of wars that the US has actually been fighting the past 70 years or so.

Wars on the ground, far…

You know what he should do to this car is swap an LS into it...wait.

I assume Disney/Pixar learned some sort of licensing hell/model year obsolescence lesson from basing Sally on a 996 (or maybe she just lost her IMS bearing?), but the lack of real cars in this movie makes it a hell of a lot less appealing than the first one, weird questions about automotive eugenics aside.

Jesus that’s awesome.

I still can’t find a DC area dealer to give me a test drive. The one Mk VII Golf R I sat in seemed to have a lot more space between the throttle and brake than on my Mk VI, and they’ve moved from a bottom-hinged to a top-hinged design. Anyone have any experience heel-and-toeing their Mk VII? How is it?

OK, the concept is kind of interesting, but on the road it just looks like a yellow Tesla that ran into a big chunk of retread on the highway.

Donner, party of five...er, three.

Oh, I see your problem. The valves should be on *top* of the piston.

He’d just left the club and couldn’t remember anything about the incident. Claims he’d been roofied.

I was going to say that the only flaw with this plan is that his crankshaft is currently sitting on his washing machine, but that’s clearly not the only flaw with this plan.

How long did it take to code your reply on punch cards?

Agreed. It was disappointing to see how many people were identifying her as the nanny or child-minder without really knowing.

I didn’t start watching Buffy until 2002ish, when they were running some sort of every-episode-in-order thing; maybe the same one that pulled Madeleine in?

This was before DVRs or on demand, so I had a VCR that I set up to tape the two (?) episodes that they played every day. I only had one or two tapes, though, so I…

I hope it will be as good as his first reality show gig:

Best sports car to lay pipe in?
