Oh, thank you! Always nice to learn something new.

That’s because the PDX carpet was awesome. It was distinct so it acted as a welcome mat to the city. You saw the carpet and you knew you were home.

It’s called “Street Pricing” and about 43% of airports require it of their tenants. Portland (PDX) has had street pricing for at least a couple decades now.

To be fair, most of these accidents are at Cars & Coffee events which tends to skew the stats. Mustang owners, unlike Camaro owners, don’t usually have to report back to the jail on Fridays.

I was a lot boy for a Porsche/Audi dealership in the early 90's. The one thing I remember about early-mid 80's Audi’s is the smell. I don’t know if it was the Nebraska winters & salt which made openings for moisture, but every single one of them had this weird funk.  

Look under the wings, it is tied down.

The testing has changed so you can’t compare MPG from today with MPG from 20 years ago. For example, a Chevy Sprint would be rated at 41mpg nowadays, not 48mpg. The EPA even has a conversion calculator on their website so you can see what a car would be rated at today:  

“As the bill stands now, HB2877 looks like a cash grab that will burden a group of people least able to bear the burden, without any rational justification as to why.”

News Flash-George Washington owned slaves.

Buy a solid Volvo 240. Why? Because you can spend <$2,000 on a car and no one thinks twice about the fact that it’s 25+ years old or judges you for it. You’ll even get bonus points if you go for a 242. It’s kind of like if you’re looking for an SUV and you end up buying a Grand Wagoneer. People know it’s old, but it’s…

We didn’t go to war because the US agreed to pull its missles out of Turkey, thereby evening things out again.

This is like the perennially unemployed uncle with 3 DUI’s and two failed marriages (because of alcohol) who starts drinking his tall boy’s at 9am make “alcoholic” jokes about the wedding guest who had a bit too much during the reception.

It’s actually red. It’s a set of turn signals/brake light hooked up to the tow truck.

I had a gold X1/9 and loved it. One the quirks that was actually cool was that the speedometer was on the left and rotated clockwise and the tach was on the right and rotated counter-clockwise.

Better than the “Davy Crockett”, which is when the US decided that a recoilless gun with a small nuclear warhead was a good idea.

That’s assuming that at some point the F-35 will, in fact, be fully-functional. What happens in 5 years when we’ve spent another couple hundred million dollars and it’s still having significant problems? Then we’re even further behind in coming up with a replacement for it.

A Very Sunny Christmas is ranked 72nd??? It’s the greatest “Special Christmas Episode” ever. 

“According to Bob Rosner, the Co-Chair of the Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and the former director of Argonne National Laboratory, the leadership vacuum won’t prevent the agency from fulfilling its essential duties.”

“what exactly do you want Congress to declare war on?”

...Says the guy who plans on throwing a tantrum for the next eight years. I know, he won’t even last one term. Just keep telling yourself that, just like you told yourself that Trump would never be elected :^D
