Doesnt the canal provide its own pilots to transit the canal? If so wouldn't that person be responsible? Or were the bow thrusters inoperable? Also how can Egypt claim losses greater than the transit fees and costs of repair? Did they just pull the $1BB number out of their ass?

The 1988 ones (GT) are the ones with the revised an improved suspension, so I guess if you want one, they’re the ones to get. If you’ve never been in one though, you better be fairly short. Not a lot of room in them.

“An Altima for instance, with an assumed selling price of $26,453 will depreciate 59 percent after just five years.”

On the flip side, David, I’m sure you can pick up your next Jeep project for pretty cheap now!

I’m going to be ‘that guy’. I’m a property manager for condo associations. There’s valid reasons to have the policy, but its in the execution of it that matters, in how you deal with people and their situations.

I guess he was expecting XJ220s

Hi, my name is Brad...

Ah, OK, I’m going to out myself on this. Read another article that said this was LinkedIn that made this seminar, and basically took stuff she did and edited and packaged it. Rather then edit my original post, I’ll leave it up.

This is just Robin Deangelo repackaging and pimping her ‘White Fragility’ book into some sort of management training course and figuring out different revenue streams to monetize white race self awareness. If you actually look at the course content, its pretty vague crap. Be less certain? Be more humble? Listen? Be…

...Leaving Coffee and Cars

Take 2 of trying to post pics to this god forsaken site. My grandfather was mechanic/chaffeur at turn of the century and got around. Here is a sample of pictures he took. Not color, but old and kinda interesting.

I cant give you color, but I can give you ‘old’, from my Grandfathers collection; he was a chaffeur mechanic at the turn of the century for a couple of millionaires in NY. He even did a stint at Winton and wrench on Barney Oldfields car there (one of the Bullets), which I suppose makes him one of the earliest race…

True dat, any recordings are discoverable evidence by opposing counsel. I imagine Amazon will have a system in place for auto-responding that the system was off at the time of the accident, if their driver was at fault.

I remember, about 20 years ago I worked for an insurance broker in one of the more ‘affluent’ zip codes in NJ. Right across the street was an independent European auto repair shop. Small place run by an older guy. He had a reputation for being fair, honest and good, so naturally he had business coming out of his ears.

That is definitely true. In many cases its not just the mileage, its the age. Just got rid of my wifes 2003 Liberty. Car was in great shape, and only had 140k on the clock. I can say though from doing most of my own maintenance on it that most of the plastic interconnects under the hood had become brittle and removing…

I’m all for another short track. And the 2hr timed race I think is a great idea. Maybe test it out at a race or two and see what the feedback is.

Well at least the kids neighbor wasn’t Darius Sessoms.

We had a 1998 Grand Caravan ES that I had bought new off the showroom floor as a left over. It was fully optioned out; dark charcoal grey,tinted windows, leather interior (we called it Darth Van) , so I guess thats why it sat. Was back when I was making money and was able to pay cash for it. Had the 3.8L V-6. I didnt…

Have a newer Passat with a belly pan. Between that and having to jack up the car just to get my arm under it, and the single use crush washers that have to be replaced upon every removal, I went to Harbor Freight and bought an oil extractor pump. Best money I have spent there.

Get yourself elected to the Board; then badger the property manager into not issuing you parking violations.
