Gregor Mendel would be proud. Take your star.

They installed one near me in Plano, TX. No one used it correctly, just kept turning left like they always had. Four years later, they abandoned it.

Uncle Rich is one of my favorite Youtubers. He’s legitimately hilarious and he does some really creative stuff. His recreation of the Tesla Cyberquad is worth the price of admission alone. And he worked with Simone Giertz (the Queen of Shitty Robots) to create the first Tesla truck - named Truckla, natch. 

That Sherp is the coolest thing ever. Goes anywhere. And, even though I knew it was amphibious, when the water came up over the windshield, I was ready for that thing to flood.

This wouldn’t help you. Insurance is based upon where the vehicle is garaged. Where it is titled doesn’t factor into it. 

Very cool collection, there. I envy you for the skoolie project. And congratulations on the new gig. Very much deserved. Whenever I’ve come across you in the comments, I’ve always been impressed. You’re gonna do great. 

Man, the Ciel. What could have been.

Yep. Found it, but it’s not at all where I would have thought it would be. Plus, it seems to be more of a baptismal pool, converted to use as a shower. The description does say this place was used as a church, so who knows?

I remember circlin’ the drive-in,
pullin’ up and turnin’ down George Jones
I remember when no one was lookin’
I was puttin’ peanuts in my Coke

While Manfred Mann’s version is definitive, I think you can pin the lyrical head-scratchers to the original songwriter, Bruce Springsteen. 

Seeing what Hoovie did to his totally changed my thinking on these cars. 

Here in Texas, we have a surprisingly thorough annual inspection. They check the safety (tires, horn, brakes, wipers, lights, etc.) and emissions before the state will allow you to register your car.

I’ll also allow hangry. 

I’m a firm believer in the glory of older cars. My wife, not so much. My family’s current line-up:

Growing up in east Tennessee in the late 70s/early 80s, Big Boy was the mascot of Shoney’s. I have no idea if they licensed the rights to the character, but it’s still weird to see him not associated with Shoney’s.

I’ve got a first gen iPad that I keep just for sentimental reasons. Every once in a great while, I fire it up and it is basically useless. I power it off and set it back by the bed for another year or so. 

Wow. This got dark, quick. 

From the lead image, I thought “Holy shit. That madman has somehow figured out how to project movies from his J-10 headlights.” Kinda disappointed that wasn’t the case.
