I still use my father’s sea bag from his time on the Forrestal (Pre-Vietnam)

“hirsute”? Does the Quadrifoglio edition come with rogaine?

Also from Southern NH, and every winter I pass a lunatic on 101 that is rocking his Miata, top down, wearing a leather pilots cap and goggles. It’s awesome, we love seeing him, but yeah, hard pass.

FWIW, I just did this on my Note 8 (VZW) and have had none of the issues listed below. Everything seems to work fine. My individual contact notifications are intact and same as before the update. YouTube is only in a pop-up if I throw it into the corner, which is by design. It plays in full screen or in app just the…

Very Early 90’s indeed. The interior shot make me think of it as a spiritual successor to the 88’ Ford Splash Concept... https://auto.howstuffworks.com/1988-ford-splash-concept-car.htm

Holy Chit. You’ve found the Hyoodraulic Press Channel’s birth father!
