I'm thinking it'd be more appropriate to strangle that judge until he thinks he's going to die, render him unconscious, then jerk off on him.

This one has been up on eBay for a week with no takers at its current price. The other one on eBay right now is closer to stock, has 30k additional miles on it, and has the fresh head gaskets they all need eventually. $7.5k obo and no takers after two weeks for that one.

I’m with you. I’m sure one could have their pick of a million different Miatas that are objectively better for less, but this Lotus is the very definition of irrational nice price.

Oh, no worries. In the decade or so bracketing 9/11 I was working with a mile wide self-destructive streak myself. Ahh...good times.

Yeah, my first thought was ‘sounds like he thought the tickets were comped.’

Yeah, amazing time to be around strangers on the road. Very very different than normal. Every interaction at every gas pump—just different.

I have a 9/11 one too. Was supposed to move from CT to VA on the 11th. Packed the car on the 10th, shit hit the fan the next morning, no one knew what to do. Gave it to the 12th to see how things might shake out, and to try to get in touch with friends/relatives in the city, a few of whom worked in the towers. You…

Heck, Watterson is on record that seeing those Calvin pissing on whatever stickers were so demoralizing that they were one of the reasons he stopped doing the strip.

You have my personal guarantee that Donny Two Scoops frequently referred to Puerto Rico as “that shithole country.”

I think the comparison here is the Tea Party nutjobs dragged the corporate Republicans (and thus the supposed “center”) to the right, and they have a large amount of influence relative to their actual numbers. We’ve desperately needed something equivalent on the left for 4+ decades now. We can do it with science and…

Yeah, I mean that’s fucking crazy. If you want to live in a really nice place on the sound there’s zero reason to go all the way to Long Island. Bristol to Old Saybrook or Old Lyme for example is as easy as an hour long commute gets up there.

Like perhaps a Hyundai/Kia sedan?

You sir are clearly a man of wealth and taste.

There are dozens of us Olds on Jalopnik! Dozens!!!

Theee digits.

I’m an old. I’ve sold more than one Porsche 356 for four digits, back when I was single, living the dream, using them as cheap beaters—back when it was okay to say aloud that they were just fancy VWs. C’est la vie!

Agree 100%. The NP votes just can’t possibly know MBs very well. $4k gets you into a w210 e320 4matic in comparable condition/mileage your choice of sedan or wagon. The w210 is literally a better car in every way.

The article is wrong, obviously so, and you are being wildly ignorant for humping away at the “read the article” angle.

I'm also a huge Neil fan, and I have to warn you this is going to make you feel old. Harvest Moon was written 27 years ago.

If you haven’t yet come across it Google around until you find a copy of an unreleased Neil tune, “Sweet Joni.” He only played it twice and it’s very sweet. Maybe a little too personal to release though? Certainly a lot more raw than “Our House.”
