Eh. I’m related to Lord Franklin, the failed polar explorer.

And of course the original ending for Clerks got Dante killed.

Yup. Thank God Lincoln died and the others lived, so the Radical Reconstruction happened. Otherwise the Civil War would’ve been for nothing.

Lincoln is the worst president, ever. He waged the civil war, not to end slavery, but simply to preserve the union. He planned to readmit the southern states on very easy terms, when only some extended version of the Radical Reconstruction might’ve changed things for the better.

And yet the New York City public school system has produced more Nobel Prize winners than any other.

I’ll miss Tyler. Could we at least get the Weathervane guy back?

And you’d be wrong. The forces going through the connecting rods actually lift those wheels off the track and slam them back down. This was one of (but not the most significant) factors driving the conversion to Diesel - reduced track wear.

Clicked on the site. I’m guessing they’re the ones who sold the 18 Camaros?

You think you’re joking, but last time I was in Hobby’s Deli in scenic Newark New Jersey there was a French tour group going through.

Semi-relevant:

My dad also had a Hornet Sportabout, which he switched for a BMW 2002, making 17 year old me very happy.

Agreed. Non-matching #s kills this, which is otherwise in pretty nice condition (and there can’t be too many of them). Also, if it had the 6, originally, doesn’t that mean it’s not really a Hornet “X” - ie, this is like turning a Pontiac Tempast into a “GTO?”

Er, isn’t the Camaro built in Ontario? Wasn’t the “Windsor 350" a thing?

He’s saying there are so many more Mustangs in Detroit that the idiot ones get diluted and don’t stick out quite as much as they do in Toronto.

Or we tax those who can afford it and use it to educate those who need it. The New York City college and university system was tuition-free until quite recently. It can be done if the will is there.

the downside of crashing the system is destroying college football and college sports in general.

How about we get rid of college athletics altogether? Athletes who want a career get signed to the minor leagues and worth their way up. Euro soccer’s “academy” model probably works too.

Presumably about the same as minor league baseball players or Junior League Hockey? Of course a few would jump to the pros a few years early.

As someone who’s out of control obsessions wrecked his marriage (and then his life) I approve.
