“You should just know!”

Look at the things that David Tracy drives; Anything is reliable in comparison.

The want is strong for this.

I grew up in a baja bug warping my perception at a young age. To me all Beetles are either baja bugs or baja bug starter kits.

My personal favourite.. make a hot coffee and set it on the counter. Get busy with admin and forget about it for 2 hours. Come back and drink it because you feel ashamed at throwing it out.

This is why you need to keep simple syrup on hand, beyond the obvious cocktail and iced tea and lemonade and icing and guzzling when no one is looking applications. I am very fat.

I have an 88 T-bird with a digital speedo that used to stop counting and start blinking at 85, but then I took the cluster apart and jumped 2 empty pads together on the circuit board, and now I’ve seen it read as high as 135, though in theory, it could read 199.

My first car was an 87 T-bird with a transplanted 5.0HO from a wrecked Lincoln Mark VII LSC. Mine also had the digital speedo, with digital bar graphs for the tach, fuel, coolant temp, etc. The speedo would stop at 85 MPH, but if I was really hauling ass I would switch over to KPH, where it wouldn’t stop until 199…

I still have my 1989 Mercury Cougar XR7. 5 Speed, Grey leather, Eaton supercharged. All the options. This pic was from 2000 hence the headlight covers. I never said I had taste. It currently sleeps in my barn, waiting for me to remove the Tevas II ABS braking system in favor of a traditional master cyl/vacuum…

Don’t even fix the tranny - a broken synchro is nothing, just learn to double-clutch! Probably good practice on a rig like this anyhow.

So many nights hand washing the Thomas shirt in the bathroom sink...

How two millennial college drop outs are disrupting the $20 billion toy industry

I live in Houston and my home A/C has been out for over a week now. I grew up without A/C and thought I could handle it but I’ve apparently gotten soft over the years.

In Texas a/c is a way of life

These are how you survive summer without AC:

In the summer months, I tend to hang out in the lighter end of the spectrum.

Somedays you want a dark beer the thickness of molasses and an ABV as high into the double digits as possible. Somedays you want something approaching water.
