Moonshining is so 1930's meth-running through the hills of West-by-god-Virginia!

My Dad taught me the value of doing regular preventive maintenance, he did his own oil and filter changes.

I did suggest an inflation-adjusted $1800 budget. I was shopping 20 year old cars at the time, but I guess you can’t get a model year 2000 anything in that range.

Yes, and those cars I had from the 60's and 70's could still be worked on in the driveway, or carport in my case.

Does nobody buy $500 crap cans as their first car? I paid $550 for my first car in 1980, so about $1800 in inflation adjusted dollars. We were buying Beetles, Darts, Pintos and Vegas. Maybe the odd truck or van. If you parents chipped in, a Mustang or a Camaro. I guess if I were in high school now, I’d be looking at…

Land of 10,000 lakes... and one fish.

There are times when I wish I had kept my classic blue on white VA plate. I did rock this for a while on my convertible:

Classic black and yellow looks good, but you have to still have one.

Arizona has some nice choices:

Colonoscopy. Colostomy bag is what you get when you don’t take care of the colon. If you are low risk (and have a cheap HMO, like me) the fecal coloform test will carry you for a while.

Trop-Rock (Jimmy Buffett-esque music) Reggae, “rockin’ country” which covers everything from the Eagles to Kid Rock to Uncle Kracker to Kenny Chesney. I run my own stream so it’s always available on my phone, tablet or PC at work.

1st gear: Why waste a paragraph talking about unrelated fuel economy standards before getting to the actual news? Oh yes, to get another liberal whack at Trump, of course.

Context: He burned his toaster strudel. To avoid accusations of promoting blackface strudel, he tried to compensate with the whitest thing he could come up with.

But, but, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!

Is it Hyundai the car company or Hyundai Motor Group, the huge multi-industrial conglomerate that wants to buy the robot dog company? I see this as a much more likely acquisition for the overall company rather than the car company.

71 Ford Pinto, 67 Dodge Dart, 69 Ford Falcon, 64 Ford Falcon Club Wagon. These are the cars I worked on as a youth and made me interested in cars. I don’t know that I qualify as an enthusiast, I just love cars.

The JC Whitney of droid repair.

Mix-Tape! This was 1988, burnable CDs weren’t quite the thing yet at the consumer level!

I rocked a Ford Festiva with a trailer for my DJ business. People were shocked when I rolled up without a truck or van. This was back in the day when I still had to haul records/CDs.

Subtle. Here’s your star.
