must be written by a someone who does NOT make their living with a truck- that back seat is where all the tools go while you’re hauling all the shit for your job site. Wanna drive just you and yer friend? get a damn MG...sheesh.

don’t know ‘bout anyone else - but my GF’s 016 Legacy has the push-button start. We both had to reengineer ourselves to NOT turn the damn thing off while shifter stays in Drive.....apparently all those years of key ignitions had trained us that only in Park could you turn off ignition and pull key..... I kinda think…

Austin America- the car I learned to drive with..... in 1967....

got clean and sober in my mid 40s. From then on : paid off IRS back debts, credit card debts, doubled my mortgage payments and paid home off, leveraged my carpentry skills into contracting business so I could open my first savings account- then IRA, then stock market so when one offspring had devastating injury I…

another message from the cheap ol’ bastard: I listen to [free] Pandora whilst puttering in my shop. In the middle of yet one more incredibly poor ad for their off line/upgrade service [I mean -is it an age thing or are they really some of the worst ads ever?] it occurred to me that I used to listen to 2 wonderful…

The “market OR morality” is obviously a non realistic analysis. See Amartya Sen for a more accurate take on a new synthesis .... here’s an intro link: https://aeon.co/ideas/why-amartya-sen-remains-the-centurys-great-critic-of-capitalism

Time for this cheap old bastard to drop another spectator sport- in between ski days I’ll be putting the final touches on my fishing boat remodel.... kinda thinking I come out ahead on this deal.

yep- OTOH- I bought an ebay starter for my 04 cavalier - used- for $12 . I noticed that my old one and this “new” one looked like they had been pelted with lots of road debris . I understand that I might be the only cavalier driver who does 5 miles of dirt [each way ] and that my GF learned the hard way about “ground…

lets just say I wanna buy a house - and values are skyrocketing. I rent the house next door. Lets say I glue 200 hundred Bud empties into a jumble pyramid that sits now on the front porch. Then I park a beater on the front lawn- the traditional cinder block parking. Then I move a certain Mr Tracy in.... I’m thinking I…

yep- even some wimpy low end 12v Superwinch - run thru blocks [just monitor the breaking limit of the cable itself] can give ya the mech advantage you need. And ignore the temptation to span a doorway with a 12x12 timber and use that as your anchor point....well- maybe -if you set it low and you know your garage sill…

oh THAT Polian : “Hall of Fame executive Bill Polian doesn’t think much of the quarterbacks in the 2017 NFL Draft. In fact, he believes that little-used Cincinnati Bengals backup AJ McCarron is better than any of them.” [Please see 6-2" Deshaun Watson] that is all.....

I put a very old Four Wheel pop up camper on my 05 Duramax- all I added was air springs and a hitch extension so I could pull my equally ancient Lund fishing boat- spent 100 nights in this rig the first year. That included over a month in Moab and a 40 day trip thru Minn and N Ontario. Pretty much zero Campgrounds and…

i can understand someone with discretionary cash saying I’m gonna take a flyer here and if my little throw catches the early ride yippee for me . [after all, if a billion people on the planet throw a grand each at ANY one thing, the temp is gonna rise] In our small village 2 guys did indeed do something like that…

simple: their profiteering insistence of proprietary ‘design’ disguised as ‘meeting customer demand’ .... when the reality is, that from refusing to provide consumer capable hardware upgrades to nixing the EU’s attempt to implement a universal charger, Apple has contributed mightily to planetary waste and throw away…

Looky I sent a car into spaaaace. Please won’t [an Orange] somebody who is ALL about sparkly and bigly parades n shit...please pony up another $4.9 billion taxpayer dollars pretty please ? Production problems at the car factory? Loooky - I sent a car into outer spaaaace! Lithium sourcing for batteries? Looky- spaaaace…

Excellent commentary- its hard to write insightfully about just plain “getting over it”- and this essay sums up my own feelings . I would only add that over the years, the NFL’s refusal to be more inclusive in allowing players to become some kind of profit shared ‘team owners’ has meant that there was no incentive for…

Corvair powered!!

reading the replies - and being over 65 and getting 2 of these calls in the last 10 days- I’m guessing they are mostly after us olds.....not surprising- we got a system here that leans ever more in the direction of “if you are gullible enough to fall for it, then its ok to separate you from your money”...

pretty sure it was the ‘57 dodge but only if it was available with the 3rd rear facing “barf on command” seat and push button automatic

kinda glib dontcha think? Humbly suggest its time to revisit: A] your good ‘ol adolescent angst- it was valid then. Its valid now. You WILL die. End of story... B] any field biologist, climatologist, botanist or ecologist for the latest statistics re extinctions, habitats or trending ecosphere data.
