Oh good gods yes.

Agree with the others here. It’s more of an unintended consequence than a planned move. I’d love to tell you my mindset about it, but it’s gone. Probably forever.

So, um, true story.

The first time driving a car is fuzzy for me. Growing up on a farm, I was “driving” trucks from such a young age that I honestly cannot remember when was the first.

Not without the appropriate bath salts or meth.

I was seriously confused for a bit. I thought the Akula was the Typhoon class ballistic sub (Project 971). However, I learned just now there is native and NATO naming designations.

Morphine isn’t “illegal”. Its Schedule 2, which means it can be prescribed.

That’s how my regular driver was. He could do flawless uphill starts. Which considering how steep our hills were and how heavy those buses get filled with dozens of kids, it is an amazing feat.

Oh yes. They are definitely still around.

This reminds me of a cool thing I have tried explaining to people. I graduated high school in 1999. While that is a whole generation ago, something really interesting happened in the couple years preceding that.

I’ve been waiting for your take on this. Kudos on the write-up. It looks like my 2005 Accord V6 6-Speed manual will be traded up to one of these.

Is it fast? No. Is it quick? Yes. Is it awesome in the twisties? Fuck yes! I never had more fun behind the wheel than carving out mountain roads through WV and OH in that thing.

That’s close enough. I’ll take it. 👍🏻

No you weren’t. It’s all good. ;)

Yeah, that nose leaves a lot to be desired. But the rest makes up for it. And, I’ll be putting a body colored grill on it soon.

I live here by forced circumstance. My wife is active duty, and this is our current station. BTW, there are many many nicer luxury cars here. And I’m not knocking them at all. Nor am I saying mine is “better”. It is just a very rare configuration of vehicle. The Acura dealer called it a “unicorn” and keep trying to…

Mine. SH-AWD 6-speed manual. As far as I have been able to research, the only one on Cape Cod.

At the peak of things, I was on Dilaudid all the time. And I had Vicodin and Fentanyl for breakthrough pain.

My first comment disappeared into the aether.

This is absolutely satisfying for me. Dr Ruan was my doctor in Mobile. The level of shadiness with him approached black hole levels.
