I don’t dislike it. Just styling-wise it was the most low-coupe Caddy made in that time period.

Just a reminder that this was the closest thing to the Cien that we saw hit the market.

Usually the snowflakes make the birds flee.

I made the mistake of drinking too much on Thanksgiving Eve when I was home from college. SoCo 100 hits harder than I expected. Me puking into a urinal at Waffle House at 2 AM was the result, also me eating very, very little at the Thanksgiving table with family the next day... That’s a mistake.

Deliberately defrauding

Among people excited to see Trabants. Consider the crowd.

My German professor had a page from a German magazine, 1990, that he had framed in his classroom. It was an S-Class passing a Trabant on an autobahn headed into Bonn. I forget the caption, I’m sure it was pretty “Progress makes perfect” kind of stuff that was common around that time in the Bundesrepublik.

Damn fools, play paper to beat rocks.

We made a lot of money at the dealership installing the Parrot system for Bluetooth calls and music. People thought it was wizardry. I had a Palm Treo 650b to show it off to people. “The Future....”

Napster started in 1999. Caught on big in the spring to summer of 2000. I had a CD Burner too, but 1996 was not the year. We were in HS the same years.

I had a Sony Sport boom box with dual tape and high-speed tape to tape transfer, it was 3x faster. Pretty cool.

Dude, mixed tapes. Especially from the radio. Burning CDs wasn’t an (affordable) thing until this 38 year-old was a freshman in college, let alone the true Gen-Xers that had to figure out creative ways to make mixed tapes.

Yes, in 2010.

When I finally sold my 1989 Mercury Sable GS, it still had the Velcro stuck on the dash to attach whichever CD player I had at the time. Went through 4-5 of them over the life of the car and it ended with an iPod. I remember the first “car” discman of mine with a whopping 8-seconds of skip protection. The last one I

Sounds like people would just need a big paper to defeat it.

Meanwhile if it’s terrible, just use it as the jump point for all of the table-bickering that’s about to follow. Arguing mashed potatoes with your drunk uncle is better than arguing about his other favorite topics.

You missed the “with you tiny little hands.” but otherwise 10/10 would laugh.

I loved MathNet and the subtle digs at Michigan State (writer went to U of M.)

Life’s been good so far, with the EV route, everything is so different, but I don’t see Maserati changing that much.

Next year will be the remodeled Chevy Colorado or all-new Trailblazer.

Because GM cars aren’t available in Canada?
