I instantly dislike the neighbor for thinking skunks are undesirable.

That’s fair. The CCUV program was pretty much a failure, using commercial trucks on the battlefield. Much better than a HMMWV for running around base and into town, though.

The Navy and Marines use the Super Hornet for basically every job. The F-16 gets tasked with everything under the sun. The F-35 is being asked to do all those jobs plus VTOL and stealth. Your analogy is faulty.

I’d like to know from people within the industry: was there a real manufacturing roadblock to getting a decent manual like the T56 into production in the ‘80s, or was it GM just being GM, incapable of changing to meet the challenges of the time?

No one you listed is a particularly good singer.

Entry is about 2JZ.

Ahem, it’s “Killing Nazis is an American tradition.”

A long and successful career of being used for absolutely nothing.

Breeding is good for getting predictable results from a litter, and has been around for thousands of years. There are myriad good lines out there in working and sporting breeds who have great genes with no inbreeding. Show standards and irresponsible breeders though have created horribly inbred lines full of defects.

There are practically no breeds that don’t have a rescue society worth going thru.

To Hell with Jeff Sessions and the white hooded horse he rode in on.

Me, an Indians fan remembering the year and a half that Cory Snyder and Joe Carter were hot shit.

So Honda is getting free overtime out of their employees for promotional work. Not cool.

At what point did technical illustration classes stop teaching how to draw tires?

If you’re looking online, you’re comparing on price and that want to be competitive. But customers that are already at the store are less likely to go somewhere else, so this puts the screws to the unwary.

No one wants to be there. NO ONE. Sometimes it’s just the job you can get. AZ’s scheduling is always all over the place, pay is practically nothing, no benefits. O’Rielly and Advance are the same. Some NAPAs pay a living wage.

Guys at my AZ could have talked your ear off all day about the 2Jz.

Pay your bimmer tax.

Stupid weird German synthetic oils are a massive pain for those of us behind the counter. Do you think any of us or our friends has a recent BMW? At those wages? Our knowledge of the oil inventory is based on trying to convince customers to get synthetic if they care about the car, high-mileage oil if they don’t, and…

My Autozone didn’t have a brass cabinet. Nope. I went looking.
