Good call on The Deer Hunter I watched that as a youngin (in the 90's though) with some buddies thinking it was literally a movie about deer hunting and damn, did it make an impression.

I get irrationally angry at new cars when I can see the terminated exhaust pipe inside the fake tips. It’s like the designers tried to pull a fast one on me but I noticed it, and now I’m mad at them for doing shoddy work. Just clip the pipe off a little shorter, or make the end of the pipe out of sight or something.…

I have an ‘85 CJ7 and an 08 Saturn Aura and I’ve pretty much rebuilt the engine in the jeep for about $350 bucks and it cost that for a few sensors under the hood of the Saturn. Its absurd.

Yes. A building slated for teardown, that has only been recently vacated will still count towards your total units available (the data will always lag behind the reality), so new construction will essentially replace it. The bigger factor for the rates staying flat though, I would assume (again, I dont know what data…

Likely because of tear down rates, or conversions. If you tear down a rental unit and replace it with a rental unit then you only count the net addition, if any. Not sure where you are getting your data from but they may be looking only at a certain price range / style of apartment. Lots of analytics will exclude…

I work with developers every day at my job (Landscape Architect) and I can say pretty confidently that in many markets (I’ve worked in Chicago, DC, Indy, and now Austin) the high end developments are long term plays that are okay setting half empty for a while to maintain a high price. Affordable housing is being…

Yea a faulty EGR will give you tons of issues. They are surprisingly expensive to replace on older vehicles too. My Cj7 was something like $60.

Little Red Rodeo is one of those songs that just works so well. Like the Rodeo was a pretty forgettable car, but man, after that song anyone I knew with one suddenly really loved that they had one.

Youre close enough. The Eagles and Neil Young and the likes were a middle ground of country and midwestern rock. Creedence definitely had some Americana in it which is a pretty solid part of country. The current trend is the other way now, with country leaning into the pop arena. Sure, lots of it sucks but it’ll pass…

I just checked out Greta Van Fleet via your comment and holy shit. Some super talented guys there. Here’s to hoping they have the legs to not just be another Zep copy. Kids got a banging voice.

The front of this is disturbingly pretty

Agreed. I grew up with COD and this really was the peak of the franchise. I remember sitting on the couch with some guys playing this the first time and all of us were glued to the screen. It was a really well written and plausible mission. It felt improbable but not impossible in the realm of reality. The best kind…

I JUST did all of this on my ‘85 CJ, which has a similar vacuum tube setup. A few pointers I can offer:

Our trivia team was always the Diarrhea of Anne Frank. Usually came in middle of the pack but won free shit for the name.

That’s true, and those are awesome, but thats like driving a trailer home around. You could get this into a parking lot. Sort of.

Grab a bed camper or a roof rack / roof top tent setup for it and be overlanding like a bawwws for like, $12g’s all in. Maybe even $10g if you can talk him down, the trucks been posted for a long time.

For real. If the lots empty and I’m going in for like, a bottle of water, then I’ll leave my car at the pump. If there are 43 people outside I’m moving out of the way ASAP

I bet angry man starts his car at the gas pump and then sits there seething into his phone for a few minutes before driving off. OR he leaves it in front of the pump and goes inside for 83 minutes.
