Also, a fully refurbished Jensen Interceptor for a $35.5 buy it now price, to live out all your buddy cop/British secret agent fantasies in. Even leaves you ~$14K to fix the radio and add the smokescreen or oil slick options you always wanted!

A ‘59 Morgan Plus 4 currently at <$18K (reserve not met though). In mostly original condition with what are described as minor flaws. Could probably get it up to show condition depending on what the reserve actually is.

I can see how the 30 degree angle on the seat would help with g-forces in straight line acceleration, but I can’t help but think that it might have the opposite effect in certain types of banking maneuvers.

Man, Piccolo changed a ton over the years....

On an unrelated note, when exactly did the Passat become one of the most boring cars on the planet? My buddy in college had a ‘96 (maybe?) manual VR6 Wolfsburg edition and that thing kicked ass. Then sometime in the 2000’s you couldn’t even find a Passat that looked decent, let alone one that performed well.

Volvo makes jet engines right? Clearly he has a flying Volvo and was just prepared to intercept any hostile aircraft going after the president!

Dude, Houston doesn’t have a football team....they moved to Tennessee years ago! :p

Except Thanos actually saves the universe on at least one occasion. And Burns never faces lasting repercussions.... Oh, OK, he IS Mr Burns.

@terriblehuman: my best friend’s grandmother was a nice old lady but was apparently horrible to his dad and uncle, so I can’t just rule it out.....

Sadly, it almost always takes a positive personal experience to change someone’s mind. And even then the other person might thing you’re an outlier.

Just to clarify, almost all of the cadets I met at WP were cool and interesting people with interests outside of the military, and they made it clear through the classes that you could get a high level education there. I just wasn’t keen on waking up at 5 AM daily and maybe getting shot at after graduating (9/11 also…

I said it as a freshman in college, and I’ll say it now: the only reason to join a frat (or sorority) is if you believe in the concept of communal beer ownership.

Speaking of Joe, was Lydia just a horribly abusive mother? She comes off as this nice old lady on TV but something must have happened to make Joe such a cock.

I think Miami currently has the market cornered on “amusement park stadium”. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t stand the Astros, but I always like having idiosyncratic things in the field of play (baseball only).

Clearly he should have picked the Helsinki 69’ers over· the Roosters. (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helsinki_…)

I hear my 6 year old nephew is a big fan of leaving Lego/blocks/anything to get my brother to violently try to avoid falling down them in the dark.

I was thinking fleet sales accounted for most of that, but I’m not sure if those numbers include that either, now that you mention it.

Agreed, I generally chat with the driver if they seem up for it, with the exception of going to the airport at some god forsaken hour of the morning.

I sadly cannot help you. From and live in the US. Just had the fortune of spending a good amount of time in Oz some years back.

Huh. Never had one. Guess it’s too late now.
