“And really, who’s going to be driving more than 100 miles without stopping these days?”

Johnny T! He was directly responsible for me saving all of my money from a summer job to buy a Raleigh, sometime in the early nineties. Those were the days.

BOOOOO!!!!

“Does it work?” Hell no!

Pre-emptive strike before the fanboys attack

I was a corner worker in Southern California for a couple of decades. It’s a very hard job - hot, cold, noisy, greasy - that you could never pay me enough to do.

Make the queen pay. Her grandmother built that shit after all.

I’d buy it. And I mean that in a way that I would literally drive my current car to a Toyota dealership and sign papers tonight for a proper GRMN or whatever Prius. 212hp and AWD in something that size would be an absolute blast.

What was the porcupine flying?

inflight emergency (I once shut down the entire airport for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s AZ campus after hitting a porcupine with a Cessna 172)
