Also remember that the LATCH system is only rated up to 40 lbs, so you’re going to be using the seatbelts anyway after about age 4.

CP for that chintzy aftermarket stereo instead of the original Becker. In a car of that vintage, one should be listening to the Berlin Philharmonic on cassette as one cruises down the Autobahn.

I was at a Nissan dealer in 1999 or so and they had a factory fresh 240Z for sale. Apparently Nissan rounded up some old 240Zs and completely restored them en masse so they looked brand new.

You failed to mention the most important political opponent: the Idiot Reagan, who defunded the agency responsible for promoting the switch to metric. If we’d kept going on conversion, we would have been done years ago.

Harbor Freight sent out a coupon this month that will get you one of these meters for FREE.

That’s a downgrade. You’ll see.

This is totally wrong. Simple corkscrews are tricky to master? C’mon, when was the last time you saw a waiter in a restaurant use anything but a waiter’s lever action corkscrew? You screw it in, and lever the cork out easily.

The federal government is doing this for you. There are some new regs on minimum noise generation for EVs and hybrids.

Wow. I never linked an account to PayPal because I don’t trust them, but I was recently thinking of opening a special bank account just for them. Sounds like I should just stay away from Paypal.

This interests me. Please provide the source of your information, because it seems unlikely to me that paypal could access fund in an entirely different bank.

Ketchup. The New Yorker had a long article a few years ago on why you absolutely can’t beat Heintz at Ketchup.

You could get your circulator to work with the giant water bath if you gave it a little help... get one of those immersion heaters (like for coffee cups) and add it to the bath to give it a boost.

I listed a MT Element a few years ago and the phone was ringing off the hook with buyers. I sold it to a middle aged guy.

Jesus, no wonder the smog is bad in LA. Any one of these old junkers has the emissions of a hundred modern cars.
