If he’s middle aged, where are all the 120 year old people?

I thought for a second you were telling me Martin Sheen blamed one of his own kids for Nicole Brown’s murder, which was an angle I hadn’t thought of before and was interested to hear more details about.

They’re going to get Betty White to add some youth the cast.

My Dad had expressed some vaccine skepticism the other day, and I steered the conversation toward the polio vaccine, which he got when he was a kid. And he talked about how excited he was about the polio vaccine because he had been so afraid of polio, etc. And I asked him why this was different. He didn’t really have

I’m not sure how important the AWD is to a lot of people. Much more common to see the FWD crossovers where I am.

They cut out the middleman and passed the savings on to... themselves.

I feel like I am not smart enough in the ways required to pull such a thing off to come up with a workable scam.

This is the best current Texas plate available. It’s got everything you could want. A rando on a bike, a woman’s backside, and an inexplicable exclamation point after the word ‘Trails’ that will show other drivers exactly how excited you are by the concept of a trail.

You can still get the plate with the Space Shuttle and all that above, though. It just costs extra.

If Jeep buyers don’t care, they ought to change the name from Jeep Cherokee to Jeep Hillbilly Who Makes Ned Beatty Squeal Like a Pig.

Ferrari Roma people?

I’ve mostly decided that I was going to get a hybrid Maverick when widely available, but we will see how that turns out once I can actually buy one since I am easily distracted.
