You get a star just for the Beastie Boys.......

The cop cars here have a separate isolated battery in the trunk (It’s charged off the car’s electrical system but it’s only used for jumps) with a set of jumper cables that will plug in at the front or rear of the cruiser (and they’re like 12 feet long) so they can jump cars without risking the car’s electrical system

Alright so while I wasn’t driving, and it wasn’t my car, I was there for this whole debacle. This involved my dad and my family’s 1986 Toyota Van Wagon, sometime in the mid-90s.

Smearin’ oil on the wall, that don’t bother me at all...

Sees title, “This has got to be a David Tracy post.”

or you would then have to use Scrubbing bubbles on your Junk.

They’d just end up using their toes for wrenching. 

Uh, as a 20 year U.S. Navy pilot who watched 9/11 from the ship and then proceeded to fly in every military campaign since then, I think I understand terrorism and the geopolitical environment pretty well. And considering I’ve had to study this stuff while getting my Masters at the U.S. Navy War College, while at…

Yes please. I don’t understand why the word “captured” is used in the headline but “kidnapped” in the text.

Could we get an edit on that headline and remove the word “captured”? She was a young girl, not an escaped convict or an animal that needed to be picked up somewhere. She was not captured. She was abducted. She was kidnapped and murdered.

I’ve still never bought anything that I thought would break in half over a speed bump.

If you want to get Tracy interested in a deal, you’ll need to break it first!

Just do what we do to save money and go to Alaska every other year and get your own. It is easy fishing and since you’re catching them they are almost free. Nothing follows a salad of $200 tomatoes fresh from the garden better than a $8000 halibut steak. I usually wash it down with a few $72 home brews. Buying things…

I mean, did you see that Land Cruiser?! For that price, all you get is an OK-condition Wrangler TJ with a 4.0-liter. The LC is more vehicle for the buck.

The XJ would have been a good choice, but I’d rather keep all those for myself.

Wait, did David Tracey just recommend not a jeep?

Two tips I’ll pass on, as someone who has gotten the bug within the last ten years (I’m 40):

We did it two years ago!

Try not to lose your damn keys, Collins!

I hate them because, due to my own idiocy, I now associate both with mental suffering.

I’m all for using the metric system, but I gotta say I think Fahrenheit is worth keeping around. Celsius is better in many situations, but when I’m talking about how cold/hot it is outside, having a system that’s based more around the temperatures we’re likely to experience makes sense.
