I also had a VIC-20. Then I got a Commodore 64 before stepping up to the big leagues with an Apple IIe.

They need to hire some engineers to figure out how to make the logo on the grille smaller.

Unless you’re one of those people who naturally errs on the other side of the pushing the gas pedal down equation.

Given that Siri can’t find my kids’ school on a map unless I purposely mispronounce the name of the school (and even then, it’s 50/50), I have tempered my expectations that the leap to fully autonomous driving will be coming anytime soon.

Ford CEO guy went on to say, “Plus, we don’t make cars anymore, so any self-driving Ford automobile is going to be a damn crossover. So get used to it, suckers!”

The city of Dallas is not about saving money. We spend it like drunken sailors on leave. Not that it would necessarily save any money not tearing it down given that we’re slated to spend over $100 million on improvements and repairs on that 1.4 mile stretch of road within the next few years and certainly the potential…

I used to memorize my plate numbers, but I haven’t in a long time now. Plus, ever since the added the 7th digit, it throws off my ability to memorize.

I think they think the separation, even though it is crossable, inhibits creating a cohesive neighborhood (and that end of downtown is less developed overall than other areas, though that’s starting to change).

Oh yeah? Well, my Uncle Rico bets he could kick a football right over them mountains...

Guy named Beau in the South speeding in an American muscle car... are we sure he wasn’t just the blocker car for an illegal beer run to Texarkana and back?

Right after my divorce, I bought a used yellow NX1600. It was an automatic, but as cars go, it wasn’t bad at all. I remember it moderately fondly, and it got very good gas mileage for the time.

I assume that many people who are leasing cars for a short-term period are expensing the lease payments through their businesses anyway, relying to some degree on tax savings to offset some of the costs.

I worked at a place for 15 months, and my boss went through five different new vehicles in that time.

I see a lot of them around my neck of the woods (Dallas suburbs).
