My 1981 Mercedes 300SD on H&R lowering springs and later model 15 spoke wheels. Those springs were magic, curing its sagging ass and providing great handling with no compromises in comfort, the beauty of progressive springs. I sold it to a woman, a school teacher on a shoestring budget with the specific warning “if…
Christ man, you just made me relive the trauma of my super close friend completely ignoring my repeated assertions over a span of many years “when you decide to sell your MR2, call me 1st”. We bought a Corvette C4 and he decided around that time to trade his mint condition, garage kept 3rd gen MR2 in on a newer Miata…
We divested of our Corvette and the Rav4 coupe. Now it’s just a B2300 and a Pao, with a TR6 being restored in the garage.
Funny thing about C4 ownership: some Corvette people refuse to acknowledge you with the cursory wave. They suck. But the guy in the shiny new C8 who affably waves, he’s a hero.
Oh boy, someone opened the door for additional pedantry:
And this is why aircraft have ‘airframe hours’ after which they should be retired. Or enter into the David Tracy fleet.
We recently sold our Honda Beat and got a Pao. That was our big upsizing. Our daily driver is an Abarth 500 that outruns and out maneuvers the bro’s in their bro-trucks but we also have an ‘03 B2300 (Ranger) that feels like a big truck and sits at big truck heights. It’s odd seeing other Rangers in traffic: they look…
He went about this all wrong. Once he found the Air Tag, he should’ve purchased a tranquilizer rifle and parked the car somewhere easily monitored. Cut to a point some time in the future & the thief wakes up in wearing a ball gag chained in the basement of a pawn shop.
It’s exciting reading about your German / Swedish adventure while we similarly embark in our own: this is our “new” 1949 Käfer we’re buying in Düsseldorf, driving around the Rhineland for 5 days then shipping back to Tampa. It’s the most bonkers thing I’ve ever done, by far.
Arthur C Clarke, explaining why this guy doesn’t comprehend how enormously stupid his stunt was.
Except that he’s making a disingenuous / moronic strawman argument that Gov Whitmer is a socialist.
Are we witnessing the beginning of what will later be called the “Blue Origin Curse”?
How so? Also, do you care to suggest alternate casting?
Space Station 76 should’ve made this list. It’s a genius and endearing black comedy that fell through the cracks back in 2014, ranked a 4.9/10 on IMDB and 68% at Rotten Tomatoes, proving that the public are cinematic dunces. Considering that people love BS like Kanye or candy corn, is it any surprise that good movies…
If you’re buying cars by the pound, sure.
I’m old enough to remember when “Bad Cop, No Donut” stickers summed up the problems with police.
I don’t see The Knick, so this list is BS. Also don’t see Patriot in the top ten, nor do I see Fargo or For All Mankind. All of these recent TV series are sublime and The Knick might be Steven Soderbergh’s best effort as a film maker.
Also: no My Name Is Earl. And WTF, no Scrubs?
Yeah, no. Their combative naming nomenclature suggests otherwise.
Yep, the Corvette was certainly a WW2 workhorse. On the other hand, I always interpreted Cavalier as (and I’ll quote Webster) ...
I knew I was leaving war conjuring names off my list and your faux patriotism examples certainly fits that dynamic.
