There’s a Vinfast dealer down the street from my work.  It's a used car lot, but they recently put up signs announcing Vinfast sales, and there are a few of them there.

I bought my 07 Hyundai Elantra in 2018 with only 58k miles. With a manual trans it’s a total hoot to drive hard, especially after upgrading to 16" wheels. Quicker than you’d think, tightly built, good safety ratings, and gets 30mpg+ on my daily commute.

Much respect for re-learning, but I love this and have to use it:

Multiple times in rapid succession.

“Volkswagen-esque taillights”? How about Honda-esque taillights, Honda? And the knockoff Ford grill? Really? How lazy.  How did nobody see or care about the obvious similarities to other brands' design elements?

My wife and I were getting ready to leave town on a little day trip to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary that morning. I caught a snippet of news on the radio about the shuttle being overdue, but it sounded like it was a delay due to weather or something so I didn’t think much of it.

(Are we still doing this?)

Might sound counterintuitive, but one of those unlimited monthly/yearly car wash passes. There’s a nice car wash near me, and I like keeping my white car clean. But with one of these passes I would be washing her literally every other day, and she’d rust away to crumbs in a year.

It is stated early in the movie that Bill paid cash for the truck. Since he wasn’t financing, he didn’t technically need full coverage insurance. Dumb idea, but he broke up with Helen Hunt too, so there you go. 

I’m not seeing a car, either.

This is exactly correct. People ask how someone can possibly forget a child in the car, this is how.  

It might be easier to see the effect on the target by watching its orbital period, which would have changed immediately. I think a solitary asteroid would have to be watched for a much longer time to see any change in its course.

“Helicoptering [your] dick outside a Subway” is both hilariously and suspiciously specific.

Slightly OT, but since you mentioned it: I too refer to my dog as a cutie patootie, with the addition of noting that she has a little booty.

Take your star and don’t darken these pages again.

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Not to change the subject, or bring up a controversial topic, but this is the same type of thing that causes parents to leave babies in their cars all day. Guy had camera gear on and mentally checked off “put on parachute”. Mom or Dad stop for gas and mentally check off “leave baby at daycare”.

Hell no, Trump can’t move that fast. He could suddenly yank his feet off the floor, the sheer inertia of his titanic mass would keep him hovering in mid-air for at least a full 2 seconds. Shoe away!

Yes yes, wonderful story about strangers coming together to help someone in need.
