Hmmm, that looks like a decent price for parking; wonder where that white one is at?

If only it drove like a car.

Alas, it’s sophistication is lost on my family without more luggage space in the rear. While it is far more sweetly appointed than the Isis I had recently, the interior space is only marginally better it appears than the Isis. Looks like headspace is slightly greater. But that luggage space with all 6 seats up...still…

Ahh, the Dodgers did this awhile back with SpectrumNet and everyone still hates on it. TBH, it just made them less watchable and more irrelevant in many peoples lives. Between easy access to the web, smartphones, and all the other sports entertainment in the town, the Dodgers have lost quite a bit cachet. The Fox and…

I dunno, the body panels, doors, hood could be dipped and patched. Not sure what’s going on with that firewall panel. Is that 100% rusted through and bondo’d over or is that some kind of undercoat at that seam? Frame definitely should be 100% replaced with that 4Wheeler CJ-5 frame job.

Did you read/hear that interview on Splendid Table with James Syhabout?

Yes, and not too crowded like the Air and Space Museum; plus the variety is quite good. Always make a necessary stop while I’m in DC. IIRC, it’s quite close the NASA hq too.

Yeah, could swear that’s an early Miller engine in there. Especially if you look at the back-end of the block where flywheel is.

Hmm, for some reason, when I see those shots, I think of ‘Last Exile’ art design. Weird, but the train cars do look super nice.

Maybe. But it’s also the reason why the customers don’t have anything to cheer about from Activision/Blizzard. Sure, people spend their money in hopes of better product but people are stupid. There’s no hope. The MMO plan is inevitably a downhill money suck for gamers but a splendid way to make money off of kids.…

Meh, maybe he shouldn’t have hired all those people who hired all those extra people. You are right though, profitability has nothing to do with company failures like hiring too many people, being inefficient, having too many people in executive positions who allow others to have flunkies to cover their lazy asses.

Meh, you can argue with Kelly Blue Book. I have no need to pump up Ford or Toyota. Doesn’t interest me. I’d probably get a Jeep anyways. Somewhere David Tracy has hypnotized me...

It really depends on a lot of factors, right? If the manufacturers and dealers are dumping, sales volumes depend on a lot on financing. What were the average financing deals Ford and Ford dealers offered then? If one were to look at trucks and relative values, the F150 probably is right at the bottom if depreciated…

Ahh, this was many years ago, during the ascendance of Win3x/ Win95. Modern-style web access was ginormously expensive at the SMB level and not justifiable. Dial-up was still a thing and it was possible to do certain things over it but RDP into Win95 wasn’t even realistic for us. It was possible if you had a Radius…

I had a C10 truck. And have a boring van and CUV. The truck’s good for hauling and for being a bro’. Otherwise, it has its share of limitations just like any other vehicle. Not so great in LA where traffics constantly annoying and a big trucks intimidation factor isn’t as useful as being able to weave in and out. Plus…

Meh, plenty of compact vehicles, just not a huge demand for them. When gas/diesel hits $5/g then things might bounce back in the opposite direction.

Sounds about right. At one time, my work week was about 50-55 hrs; the tough part of it was it was a night shift from 12-8AM. At a certain point, I was tasked with PC support and added in a couple to 3 hours afterwards to help individuals with software and hardware issues since that was the best time to get them…

Joe Wilson and his diarrhea mouth is why. The stupid retardicans can go suck used underwear.

Great shots and story. Well done as usual, Saito-san.

Cool cat! The family cats are split, even though they’re part of the same litter. One guy is perfectly fine eating what we give him and doesn’t bum-rush the food bowl unless it’s the AM feeding. The other one acts like it’s the Last Supper and hogs everything in sight on every feeding. Plus, he’ll try to snarf…
