I certainly wouldn’t let the seat belt recall stop me from buying a Volvo. It’s not a big issue.

That's all together possible too. Whatever the root cause, I think it's silly that you need a ladder to load the bed. 

The problem for me is that tastes have changed in contrast to convenience.  It is now harder to use the vehicle for it’s intended purpose.  And that’s dumb.

Everyone thinks you need a truck that is high off the ground. At one point I owned an El Camino and a 1985 Nissan 720 that was lowered 3 inches. It’s so nice to just be able to step into the bed instead of erecting the jungle gym from the tailgate to climb up in there.

As the owner of a 1987 El Camino, I want this to be worth $12,000. It is not. If the body is nice and rust free I’d say this is more like a $4000 car. I’ll happily sell mine for $12,000! It has a fuel injected 350 and will light up one wheel for as long as you want.

That definitely seals it then. If Viva Las Tabulas Razas says it’s not a thing, it’s not a thing.

Suck, squeeze, bang, blow, rust. What else is there to know?

They already have one of those.

Stop it.

A steno pad is $0.92.

Have you guys ever reviewed the Oontz Angle 3 Pro? For $70 bucks it’s pretty nice sounding, even outside, can be paired with another for stereo sound and it’s waterproof. Just wondering how it would stack up to these from bigger brands.

The juxtaposition between Carrot Top picture and following article’s picture of Gus Dapperton is jarring.

I have to agree. I am 20-some years out of college, but the realization that the whole thing was nothing more than a money grab really was disappointing. And I was at a small liberal arts school in Ohio. Even (or maybe more so?) on a small campus you are little more than a dollar sign to those outside the classrooms.

Doesn’t hurt that you can catch 30 squid at a time with a sabiki rig and about 4 minutes of practice. They’ll over fish this too.

I just don’t see it happening. He is a hack. This is an instance where, since he is not in Michigan, hacking shit together so it is “good enough”will just not suffice. The TUV inspection and emissions inspection are notoriously difficult to pass, especially in a 25 year old American van with a leaky diesel engine.

Looks like the hardest part of that repair would be putting a flap disk on the grinder.  Grind the paint and rust back and weld it back up. There is no reason any capable welder can’t get it back together for cheap.

The problem with this is that the tires can look fine on the outside and be fucked on the inside. Tires are the most important part of the car, bar none. They impart every single force to the ground. 7 years is plenty.

Country and western? 

I think the point is, and as is especially evident in the two photos, that the characters of Mickey and Minnie were made to look like minstrel acts of the time. In fact they just were minstrel acts, albeit animated. The “more or less universal pose” was born out of the Vaudevillian and minstrel acts. I don’t think…

It looks like a cheese grater. I’ve seen vents with fewer vents. I don’t know if you’re supposed to drive it or shave with it.  I can’t think of a less attractive car on the market in North America currently.
