Make it a really strong IPA and I think you'd be on to something.

I believe the bit about polite drivers. Downtown you won't find 'em, but get out into the surrounding areas and you'll see what they mean. People will let you out of parking lots, or let you turn into traffic. Outside the city people here are pretty courteous.

Most people on the road believe they are an above-average driver.

I'd add disc brakes to that list. Pads are easy to change, and rotors almost as easy. (Getting the calipers off only requires a couple bolts in most cases, and then the rotor just slides off). A tip for handling that—use a coat hanger or some plastic zip ties to hang the brake caliper from the spring while you're…

You can do it, but you'll need some specialized tools and you'll have to be careful. It's not something I'd suggest a novice attempt.

Unfortunately in this economy, you work how and when your boss tells you to.

It all comes down to the quality of the workmanship when you deal with a custom car. Did they do the work properly? Will it be maintainable and repairable when you finally do break something? The fact that the current owner has put 10 thousand miles on the car says that the work is at least decent, and most of the…

You aren't just whistling Dixie. That'll definitely be a plus.

For 10 dollars, it's worth trying out. Will probably save some space in the kitchen drawer.

I've been using H&R Block's service for the last couple years. I'm pretty satisfied with it, and the fact that in the rare event that I get audited they'll send a vicious killer attack lawyer does give me some comfort. My taxes are pretty simple, so I'm able to use the simplest system and file for free.

Dang, that's pretty awesome.

Sweet merciful crap. Did the driver survive that?!

Gran Turismo.

Used to have a Taurus with the keypad entry. Came in very handy more than once. Long as you remember that password, you'll never lock yourself out of your car.

Awesome, stand-up move. Bravo, good sir.

Not exactly. What I mean is it's still an H-pattern shifter, not necessarily that they're all that exact layout. Some had dogleg 1st gears, some didn't.

That's pretty neat. Sort of a precursor to today's modern dual-clutch systems.

Ohhh, I see. Column shifters are pretty much nonexistant (for manual transmissions) nowadays, but back when this car was made and even up into the 60s most cars could be had with a manual shift on the column, usually a 3-speed. There probably aren't as many old cars in Europe as there are here in the US—here you can…

I would fill it with beer.

Well it IS in Brooklyn.
