Duurt is Dutch (a safe guess based on the name); the average Dutch male is a hair over six feet tall.

I do all my grocery shopping in a kei car, but, then again, I rarely bring the kids to the store nowadays.

I have two kids, and a Ford Focus Wagon covers our needs for camping, shopping, and longer trips. Our other car is a kei car, which is the one we use about two thirds of the time.

F a blind menu. Pretty sure that’s illegal in most places anyhow.

You are also paying for time. A traditional left-bank Bordeaux isn’t really ready to drink until it’s over 25 years old. Now imagine spending serious money growing grapes on very expensive land, vinifying it, and then storing it for 20-30 years before someone buys it.

This is a bit steep for a bottle of ‘96 Petrus, I would expect under $10K in a restaurant - if you want to be frugal you could buy one for as little as $3-5K and bring it with you. Ask about corkage fees beforehand (I’m sure Salt Bae doesn’t allow it), make sure they do not carry the exact wine on their list, and pour…

As an admirer of Vindman’s bravery and moral fibre, I kind of liked the way TTP used the word “snitch” - makes the reader sit up and take notice, perhaps.

Who? Straw men should be at least believable.

I am sick of Americans only counting the Americans who die because of our shit military adventures. 25,000 Iraqi civilians died in 2007 alone.

I don’t think Final Days has the blood of hundreds of thousands on his hands.

To bring one in you just take out the engine and some other bits and ship them separately as “parts”. Send two if you’re worried about getting caught. Then Florida or Montana plates, and you’re good to go. Not suggesting you do, because it’s making life harder for all the people following the rules and waiting 25…

Hi Ryan Erik King and welcome (no snark, I mean it).

In the defense of the City of Bath, in England your car is assigned a license number and then you go somewhere to have your plates made. People use whatever sizes and fonts they feel like, although you are supposed to remain within certain parameters. Read old issues of MAX Power for illustrations of how far people…

I had a person at the DOB say “oh yes, you were right all along” recently. Still riding the high.

Yes - no way to tell until the situation normalizes and all of a sudden there is a shortage of pushy guys in loud suits.

Maybe there are also reporting requirements? Another oft-misunderstood section of the maritime law stipulates that once you’ve chosen a lobster and it has been taken out of the tank, it is not going back in, no matter how many claws are missing.

I am going to start saying “from soup to nuts” all the time.

Whatever is on display at Lane.

There is one making the rounds of the Northeast car show circuit right now. I saw it at Lime Rock and again at a Cars & Coffee in New Canaan, CT. The Greenwich Concours d’Elegance is this coming weekend and I am betting it will be there, too.

I have three interns who all use their mouse and drop-down menus to copy paste... Two of them were amazed when I told them about ctrl+A. And they have Architecture degrees FFS.
