Your mom sounds like a pretty uptight lady.  She must have been friends with my mom. 

People used to laugh at me when I got out of my Z3.  I’m 6'4" and weigh a tick over 200lbs, but the car fit me great.  I also had a late model Taurus, which is leaps and bounds bigger than the Z3, but the Z fit me better. 

We really should just force the rich people to redistribute their money so that poor people have a lot more.  I’m sure the poor people will properly invest their money so they will not become poor again. 

I know Oldsmobile is a dead brand, but one would think that GM would go to work defending their logo for future use.

Yeah, being broke sucks.  It’s hard to climb out of the hole because you can’t afford the things that will help you.  I understand that completely, and from first hand experience.  Just because something sucks doesn’t make it less true. 

Like I bought my first car, my son will buy his. Kids don’t take care of stuff that is handed to them. He can buy his first car, and every car after that. If he’s saved up $2000 by then and wants to spend it all on a car, then he can. If he has $700, then he can buy something like this. My first car was a $500 car. I…

You’re allowed to sell items off of your purchase to bring the cost down.  Talk them down to $600, sell the mirrors, radio, and whatever items from the A/C unit that still hold refrigerant. 

LS swap?

This would be cheaper than a rental.  Buy it, drive it for  few weeks, then sell it for what you paid for it, or $100 less.  

You don’t buy a car like this to fix it up.  You buy it without investing any money in it at all, and when the first major thing breaks you tow it to a scrap yard.

Already sold.

Nothing teaches faster than trial-by-fire.  Having a pile for a first car will teach a teen to repair, be resourceful, save money, and value property.  Except for the rich kids, everyone in high school drove crap boxes.  We were just thankful to have a set of wheels.  Considering my first car stalled when I didn’t…

I know relatively little about these, but thought it was interesting that the rear axle was suspended by leaf springs and coil-over shocks.  What’s your take on that?

No, not a service animal. An emotional support animal that he takes on plane, then gets into confrontations with people when they call him out on his pet snake with a service animal vest on.  

“Try telling someone who just stubbed their toe on a jackstand that there’s lots of other things that toes can be stubbed on and see how much better they feel.”

Yeah, there is no good take on this. I wouldn’t doubt it if she were pressured into something. Sex does sell, but this isn’t the way to do it. People, regardless of gender, should be able to prove their abilities by demonstrations of their skill, and nothing more.

Romain, is that you?
