Y’all, I hate to bring it to your attention, but from my limited experiences out in the Real World these past few months, this sort of behavior isn’t limited to just airplanes.

Oh man, I dunno - I haven’t hug out over there in YEARS! One of my best friends lived on Speedway back in ‘04-’09 and we’d live at Crown & Anchor or Fricano’s (RIP). I think these days it’s Jewboy’s that holds the crown for sandwiches and burgers in that part of town, or maybe even the whole dang city.

I mean, here in Austin Thundercloud kills any of the nation chains here in Austin, even though there are still Jimmy John’s and Jersey Mike’s aplenty. I’m sure other cities have local establishments that offer local franchise agreements with fewer pitfalls.

Kurt Cobain used to buy guitars specifically to destroy. He and his tech would even pre-break them to ensure total destruction.

But this Honda Beat is so fun and provides so much joy...

It’s just SJWs trying to cancel him for being an American Capitalist Patriot, I’m sure.

Back in 2014 when we were shopping for the new Family Truckster, the local Hyundai dealership would only work with us if we took out financing through them. No deal if we paid cash or had other financing. At first we thought it was just the salesperson being a jerk, but the sales manager came in and said Sorry, no…

Facebook is the appropriate forum for this sort of talking point, not a car blog community. Thank you for participating, but not really.

I mean, Megadeth is great, but ask a fan what their best song is and they’ll probably say Tornado of Souls, and likely because of that solo, which is possibly the greatest metal guitar solo ever recorded. Marty freakin’ Friedman.

Hmm. The only black one I know of is from Alpine, TX. There’s a dark burgundy one, a red Balocco, and another silver one. Those are all I’ve ever come across locally.

Once while working on my intake manifold I lost a 10mm nut driver.

Nope. And there are only a few around. What color is it?

Oh, I put many miles on it blasting around the old ranch roads west of Austin.That’s the sort of road the car was built for. Now, it’s almost back to normal, which is to say awful.

So I have had this 1982 Alfa Romeo GTV6 since 2008. I paid $2,000 for it - fairly neglected, ruined interior, but thankfully very little rust, and none structurally. The thing is now de-rusted (as much as possible) and painted, has a new interior, ALMOST working AC, and too many rebuilt and refreshed components to…

I can’t look at a malaise-era car’s ridiculous overhangs and barely there wheelbase and not think of

Hi. Fuck right off to the sun with that fascist totalitarian insanity.

Feige generally seems like a genuine guy, so it’s not necessarily fair to suggest that he’s just saying this now because he wants people to see Shang-Chi, but he does have a history of not realizing that certain moves to promote inclusivity and representation in his movies would be a good idea until people really push…

OK. So is this show actually any good? Really? I watched the pilot and just didn’t laugh. Not even a snicker. Maybe I was in a bad mood that day but I’ve simply had no urge to revisit.

I dunno. It’s either aliens, or the military industrial complex latching onto the notion that if they play coy with the idea of aliens as a cover for advanced AI-piloted UAVs potentially armed with energy weapons (remember, we were testing 747-based laser weapons capable of shooting down missiles in the mid/late 90s),…
