It seems like we’ve really missed the niche that Ford is actually going for here. To paraphrase the Dude, our thining about this has become very uptight.

The workers are being paid, it’s the companies paying the employees that aren’t getting paid.

LPCiminelli is the General Contractor on the project, they “hire” other companies to do the majority of the actual work, and manage the project. Those companies hired by Ciminelli are the “contractors” in this case.

There’s a show called “Very British Problems” where they discuss Brits inability to use sunscreen when traveling to somewhere sunny.

This seems to be more evidence.

Edelman’s call ran long, Rex came in the room when he was scheduled for his call with the NE media.

Lighten up, Francis.

Yankees/Texas Rangers, Easter Sunday 1981. I had to look it up to find the opponent. I remember my uncle bitching about Reggie Jackson. I was 4 years old at the time.

My 91 Audi cq.

I bought it as a potential project, did a bunch of small stuff while I DD’d it.

Got a new car, and had to store the cq, because I was moving. Then my dad’s car died, he was on a fixed income and couldn afford a new car, so I loaned him the cq.

Unbeknownst to me, he proceeded to trash the car in less than…

Yeah, I’ve been holding off on some upgrades to my TDI since October. It’s an early 2010, and based on some of the reporting in the fall and winter, it’s a potential candidate for buyback.

I really appreciate the ongoing DieselGate updates.

I own a VW TDI now, and I’d buy another in a heartbeat.

I think it’s obvious that the “technical solution” for VW was installing SCR, which is why they eventually wound up doing just that.

In Rex’s defense, almost every time he’s mentioned the pats, in a non-pats game week, it’s been in response to a question about the Pats from a reporter, but no one reports the question, they just post the answer.

If he ignores the questions about the pats in those weeks then everyone is going to make a story about…

4 weeks NFL free. I’ve been able to catch up on a bunch of work around the house. I might still check out another game here or there but it’s been really freeing.

It’s right up there with mook and jabroni.

Avenge Me!

Buffalo was ground zero for zubaz.

from a story on Grantland:

Has anyone actually gotten that sort of real world mileage out of their Fiesta?

My 2013 Focus was rated for 38 Highway and I’ve never gotten better than 36 on my 55 mile commute.

If fact, with regular unleaded I rarely exceeded 34.

I’m not sure the profit margins really are any lower on the smaller truck, with smaller engines, especially once you add leather heated seats, infotainment, etc.

If they’re so concerned about the Ranger cannibalizing F Series sales... why not just call it the “F-100”, and call it a freaking day? Then you can lump it in with all the F-series sales numbers.

... but will the new Ranger have a diesel?

This list is useless without jockey t-shirts.

Well, boy howdy!
