This is the masochist’s car of choice. It is the car one buys when one feels insufficiently depressed or too financially secure. If one never actually needs to to go anywhere, this is your vehicle. Should one be seeking an immersive education in public transit usage, buy this car. If you enjoy reading by the dashboard…

You have to remember, these are the same people who want you to tell your daughter who has been raped that her pregnancy is a “gift from God”.

Just never did it for me. Says something about predisposed prejudiced, I supposed. 

Any Duesenberg, but especially the Aerocoupe and the J coupe.

Thanks for reminding me how catastrophically ugly Stanzas were, all models.

C-4 ‘Vette. A tragedy.

No. Dice.

So, you own a business that employs 500 and your payroll clerk makes an input error when entering payroll. That input error results in all of your employees getting an extra digit to the left of the decimal point. You’re already on somewhat shaky ground because your costs of production and wages have increased faster…

Yeah, that’s not how it works. One employee’s input error is not another employee’s unearned windfall. Let’s not fool ourselves; people know when they’re overpaid, whether regular time or bonus, because the details of both and the method for paying both are communicated to employees.

I’m assuming Jeff doesn’t know any Republican gearheads? Perhaps his constituency is too busy organizing bicycle rides for Christ?

Those things are tiny nightmares. If you have shoulders and are over 6', run from this vehicle and focus your off-roading aspirations on more suitable vehicles.

“Toxic” is such an overused word. I often wonder where people work, when their work life is all sunshine and rainbows and there’s no deadlines, no stress, and no demands. Daily TV and radio are unforgiving environments, not just because of the sheer volume of work involved in producing new content every single day,…

I just never dug the C4 styling. I also hate the GM interiors of the era. For the right enthusiast, this isn’t a bad deal, though. 

One’s purchasing decision would obviously have to be informed by the contents of one’s Scooby snacks. 

There are plenty of legal reasons. It rather depends on what one does for a living - I have to carry a ridiculous amount of cash on occasion, because I pay some suppliers in cash - the pandemic has been rough on the food business and on small suppliers/producers and many are still trying to rehabilitate. We also pay…

Put this thing in a hill race with a VW Microbus, and the VW might have a chance. The no-est of no dice.

I agree it’s painful to watch. And, pretty mean. Also though, a product of its time. What I was trying to say, inartfully, is there is a difference between forgiving offensive portrayals and understanding the historical context that made those portrayals uncontroversial. There’s also the fact that LGBTQ people…

I wonder, because while he certainly seems to be punching down, it’s impossible to imagine that Brooks didn’t interact or work regularly throughout his career. That by itself means nothing, but Nathan Lane once said of Brooks that “Mel’s take is that we’re all flamboyant extra-terrestrials”, and implied that Brooks…

That’s a lot of money for a costume.

If someone can watch a Mel Brooks movie and fail to understand that he is satirizing racism, illustrating the rampant idiocy of racist people, I’m not too interested in what that person has to say. I fully appreciate the (now) conventional wisdom regarding utterance of the “n” word, although I remain mystified at any…
