C’mon, put some huge deep dish gold rims and slam it and you would own the boulevard!  I love it! (because it’s ugly).

Haha! I can picture it! Mine, glorious brown :)   

Also, it had a nuclear reactor in the back.  I love my Pinto.  Not only crazy reliable, it was how I learned to drive manual :)

I didn’t realize the Iron Duke was used in these cars.  It’s like it finally found a true home that could appreciate it.  I take it you have one, then?  Congrats!

“The Nucleon, with its reactor in the back, would not see the dealer’s floor until much later as the Ford Pinto.”

I understand the “medical” context of the Nasser abuse, but as written, it kind of seems like Gladwell is operating with some weird sexist assumptions: vaginal penetration is one thing, but penis in mouth? ooooh boy that’s abuse... Both victims stood by their abuser.

Perfect, we can all knock off early today.

Couple random thoughts after a number of hours of gameplay:

Wow that is cool. Looks like an early Escort with just a little bit of laughter upfront. Five though, just doesn’t seem like enough to be a real car. I do not know why I hold this opinion.

I love this.  More resto/project car build stories, please.

Some nice buttons there on the ‘lil guy’s suspenders.

Looks like an FJ to me. Think it’s the 2 tone paint.

It looks like a money maker, not a keeper. A little discount. Removable ugly parts, some profit in it. Find stock wheels cheap, sell big uglies on CL.

That’s a nice looking Accord.

Mayhonk?

The Diet Coke from McDonald’s fountains contains fairy dust or something more nefarious that is impossible to quantify this side of heaven. I routinely swing through the drive-through for a $1 cup instead of a $2 bottle elsewhere. Rarely do I get food with it.

Fantastic. This is what the internet was made for, thank you. My question may get lost, but why, when welding things like wheel wells, did he drill holes and then weld in the holes instead of creating a perimeter bead? Is it to replicate spot welds? Save time?

“unspecified fruit contents” sounds like Skittles flavors!  Too perfect.

Leeches. They suck..

That is 10 minutes longer than the Geneva Convention standard, The Return of the King.
