Our kids’ high school just went from 8:50 to 9:25 start time. I have to say, with 2 kids in high school, mornings are a lot less chaotic with the later start time. They get out at 3:25, and are home on the bus by 4:00pm

Young guys here always put things in ads like “new pistons installed” or “just had the motor rebuilt”, like that’s a selling point. It screams “run away” to me.

Came here to say this. I beleive they call them E-Tec. 

Look at off-road quads. Most of them don’t have a clutch, but still require you to shift gears with a foot lever, 1-down 3 (or 4)- up, same as a street bike. Definitely not an automatic, but no clutch.

Have the maker brought to you so you can congratulate him/her on their artistry, then have them killed so another can’t be made.

My brother has a Jeep of Theseus. The only remaining items from the “82 CJ7 Jeep he bought are: the rear seat, the grill, and I think the hood. Everything else has been replaced. Is it still the same Jeep?

I live in Newfoundland, but on the West coast of the island; hope you enjoyed your trip.

Fancy Kristen has a mansion, forget the price, she’s never been there, they tell her it’s nice.

Mustang 00001 sold in Newfoundland, Canada. David, check out this story, which also references Gail. It seems that Gail was the first to purchase a Mustang, but it wasn’t the First Mustang.

I thought it was awesome. 

My wife stuck her finger into the candle flame on her first Birthday cake. She remembers that, and there were family pics at the time.

“please fuck along now”. Brilliant, I have to use this. All the stars.

Our local classic rock station has an all day Saturday request show called the Shed Party. Their tag line is “meet the new Shed....same as the old Shed”

I have a 2016 Ram 1500, I put a $35 tailgate strut on it. I can open the tailgate and drop it, it opens Fancy Kristen soft without slamming or banging. I also added an LED light bar up front and a back-up cam (like 2 days ago). The jury is waiting to see how the cam works out, but I love that tailgate strut.

Well, 17,000 tonnes is 26,000 tons, so even that conversion is not quite right, but could account for most of the discrepancy.
