didn’t recall seeing milepost 18 or the 30 mph advance speed sign, which was posted two miles ahead of the speed-restricted curve.

I think you’ve got it backwards. Spouting crazy theories is his way of getting media attention and funding for his personal rocket projects.

School starts too damn early.

The Crown Victoria was named after America’s rightful ruler. None of this colonial presidential silliness. ;)

Prisonwear is the answer

Seriously stef, get some coveralls. They’ll save you. They’re also a ton of fun to wear and it’s liberating not having to give a crap about what part of your body is touching some greasy part under the car.

One reason that luxury makes had engines with so many cylinders (12, 16) was that this imparted smoothness even when lugging in the wrong gear. Gave drivers the ability to avoid shifting as much.

Tucker did a weird thing with the Franklin company after he bought it: he cancelled all of their aircraft contracts at a time when they supplied two thirds of all post-war aircraft engine requirements, just so that they could concentrate on building (not very many) engines for his cars. Such a dumb business decision.
