And yet it’s still not immune to being Musk-reckless, which is why it decided to violate the terms of its FAA clearance when testing Starship.

SpaceX waited until the explosions appeared to have stopped before adding the feature of live crew. Seems that was flight 85.

My dad’s been working in the medical device software industry for decades, and since last summer had been working for a young tech company in Seattle newly branching into that industry. That start-up mentality of “move fast and break things”, of beta testing on end users, is absolutely present there, and he recently…

Besides the steering wheel that makes your elbows stab your belly when turning it more than 90 degrees, there is also no indicator stalk. I assume the indicators will be activated by some buttons behind the wheel, similar to the Ferrari Roma’s high beams.

All this plus the funky work with the steering wheel/column. Overall the interior is tired. I also have no experience with the aftermarket switch in the glove compartment. The decision would change greatly if this were running and could be properly driven and evaluated. At that point it might be an easy buy. Now it’s…

- Not running
- Berber carpet
- Quicky paint job
- Leaking rear end cover and possibly wheel cylinders?
- Did I mention not running?

Duuuuuuuuude....memories.

Back in the day when I was young and stupid(er), I once had to slip a four foot length of steel fence post over my ratchet to get the front axle bolt loose on my old Gixxer. Which is why I later added breaker bars to my toolbox.

Maybe someday you’ll have a house with a disused swimming pool, and a crane... just back up the tanker truck and fill it with a few feet of PB Blaster and every time you get a new project car, dip it about halfway to the door handles.*

I believe you missed a step. . .

If it weren’t for PB Blaster, I’d have to walk to the store.

You are correct that it will have a negative impact on your credit for several reasons, but none are the fault of CarMax. You take a small hit when you apply for the loan, then you take a small hit when you are granted the loan. If you pay it back in a few days, thats a very short length of time and you can take…

Counterpoint: Old people need to stop being weird

Boomer checking in. I thought the commercial was kinda funny and not the least bit offensive. It would have been a bit better if that big old V12 roasted the tires on exit, though.

America is a nation divided along many lines these days, but I believe we can all come together as one and agree, regardless of race, political leanings, age, or gender, that these new BMW designs are awful. This could be what saves the country from falling apart.

Since they’ve lost the weight of the roof, do they call them Neon Lights?

I’m just impressed that Thunder Bay has been able to brand their airport as “international.” Seems very ambitious for Thunder Bay.

My wife just brings a book or her knitting. Sometimes she demands that at some point we wind up somewhere scenic we can get out and walk around for a while. We’ve been doing it all year, because what the hell else do you do for entertainment during a pandemic? 

I walked aimlessly for 5 hours with my buddy in Cairo. Yeah we were drunk, but we were aimless. Woke up in a hotel that Americans are disliked by the locals, but they loved us. Our weekend taxi driver, Ishmael (miss ya dude) shit his pants and got us out of there and took us to the Dead City part of Cairo, we weren’t…

I could have killed my wife today. Said, “Hey, I need to get out of the house, just gonna go for a drive”. Her response was “Great, let me put on pants, we need groceries!”. So instead of taking the Sky and aimlessly cruising the back roads of NJ, I wen to fucking Wegmans in an SUV.

Some days, the best therapy is putting your dog (or dogs) in the car, filling up your tank, and driving to the biggest open area you can find.
