I’ll pass on calling dibs. Few things are more humiliating than being underwater on a Hyundai.

I listen to NPR over the air pretty much all the time. So I guess I am no one.

Or, if he is, he has a really fantastic agent.

Ed Begley Jr. is currently on, like, 5 TV shows.  Definitely not dead.

Ran when parked.

This is officially awesome and the first diesel car I think I’ve ever wanted. Price of entry seems worth it even if I just use it to piss off my HOA. 

That’s not true; I’ve already put in a request with our Chronographic Restitution Department, and they’ve agreed to credit your account seven extra minutes. You’re welcome.

Seriously, CPO means nothing. I made a mistake and trusted White Plains Lincoln when I bought one of their Manager’s 9 Month old MKZs (was registered to WPL).

My ignition switch broke recently and I couldn’t turn off the engine.

Shocking. I always figured guys who bought Dodge Demons were totally zen and would only go to tracks after journaling their feelings and embracing their inner children, and then only to help others there self-actualize their potential. This comes as a great surprise.

As a volunteer at my local track, let me ask “what the hell are these dudes doing?”

Dealers are like, “OMG!!! We have 2018s in stock!” Meanwhile, Nissan and Dodge are still peddling 2008 models.

I did this back in November, when it was a bit chilly.

Also, the rest of my house is carpeted. 

That was the timing chain cover of a 225,000 mile motor.

So much Looney Tunes humor was contemporary - meaning that by now, many don’t get the jokes.

My dad has a couple of steel pennies from WWII. Copper was in even shorter supply than steel.
