Me. This is me. I am a “Dave”. 

Then there is my buddy Dave. Dave is a public service for other tool owners. When your SO comments on the perfectly reasonable supply of tools you have filling the basement, you arrange an innocent visit to Dave.

Eh, cars got bigger. My landlord’s car only fits in the garage if we pull the door out as it comes down - and the car’s an 90s sedan. If the house is from the 40s or earlier, don’t expect the garage to fit anything modern.

Counterpoint - if you have a small garage and your other hobbies include lots of DIY and outdoorsy stuff, you turn it into a workshop and the car sits outside. The trick is keeping it organized and uncluttered. To me, a nice garage workshop > empty box to keep snow off your Kia.

This is the thing I never got with a lot of friends... Their garage is literally FULL of shit and boxes and they park their cars outside...

Although it hurts my IC heart, we need electric cars (along with a green grid and a bunch of other shit).

“What’s Something In Your Garage That Might Be A Relationship Red Flag?”

i guess i’m glad for her if the worst thing that has ever happened to that girl is a bad meal. i mean, i was self-involved at that age, too, but i can pretend otherwise because there was no tik tok or social media.

So... that’s my car. Sold it about two years ago. I daily drove it for about two years prior to that, but didn’t have anywhere to store it when I went to a newer car.

We must go forwards, not backwards! Upwards, not forwards! And always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.

Man, say what you want but Boomers know how to party like there’s no tomorrow

Fuck Trump and his MAGAssholes. May they find connecting rods poking through their stupid blocks.

I’ve noticed something since the pandemic numbers have been rising as fast as the economy has been cratering:  The “Concentration camps for kids are cool!” crowd that I have access to are still ride or die with Trump. But “The world is changing and I’m not at the center of it anymore make it stop!” people? Not saying

I’m a dual citizen. My mom is from Munich; she and my dad live near Nuremberg (my dad is a retired army soldier working on a base over there). The primary purpose of this trip, and any trip I take to Germany, is to spend time with them (though of course, I’m excited about this van trip, too).

Y’all think this is nuts?

Sounds like someone needs to go take Econ 101. It impacts you in LOTS of ways. Every $1 spent on consumer spending boosts the economy an extra roughly $1.80-$1.90. Every $1 invested? Boosts the economy an extra $1, give or take a few pennies. The US economy is a consumer driven economy - if people don’t buy things,

Stalin and Mao both support your position.
