Reminds me of a conversation I had with a then recently retired (now Hall of Fame) baseball player, who was working as a roving instructor in his former team’s farm organization. I asked how many guys manage to scrap their ways to the majors, and he said “none. Every single one of those guys was The Man at each stop…

Haha, you might be shocked at how goddamn expensive aircraft are.

You clearly have no idea what airplanes cost. Half that?

Haha, I did the same thing in the rear window of my e46 when it broke at my parents house. And it’s the same faux-wood molding that Elon is using. I’ll tell the mechanic is was a Tesla-inspired modification.

You get them from U-Line or they are in your shipping dept. No need to go to Home Depot. Pallet Strapping Corner Piece. 

I’m guessing you haven’t seen what the typical Sturgis attendee looks like if you think they still have grandparents.

Just because you have kids doesn’t mean you have to buy a beigemobile. Yes, but it does mean you “should” make smart financial decisions.

Were we talking about you? This was a specific use case.

Need to go back and get Biff to put a few more coats of wax on this one.

In one of his books he had a Jaguar that he bought and then realized he shouldn’t own so he sold and bought used and reliable. Dave may not be old enough to remember cars that were junk by 50,000 miles, but nobody sent a memo to Jaguar about that.

Problem is, this is no longer an S2000.  It’s the fat Elvis version of it’s original glorious self.  Huge CP!

The protests work.

Initial quality looks for problems you identify very early in ownership (90 days). Dodge owners are not arriving at the dealer with a checklist of things to review. If you buy a Tesla, it’s very likely that you’ll have one of the plethora of checklists to review every tiny detail of the vehicle inside and out before…

I’d never seen that Hydro Armor before (I assume it debuted in the Armor Wars when he took on Stingray?) but a diving helmet on top of a helmet? Hahaha.

My gaming rig is in need of a new MOBO and CPU, so I took my gaming monitor and have a nice duel screen setup right now while I WFH. My job practically requires it.

That’s too many screens. Three is the perfect number. Sorry not sorry.

Obligatory “Solo” is actually pretty fun post

It can be difficult to find a truck to rent that will allow towing with a trailer you did not also rent from the same company. Normal car rental companies (i.e. not Uhaul) will specifically prohibit towing. Besides, you don’t really want to drive a Uhaul for your weekend at the lake.
