In ‘86 I was 17. My best friend had a Chevette, and I’m here to tell you, it was as far from “cool” as could be. 9x out of 10 we’d take my dad’s Isuzu P’up out on the weekends instead of the “Vette”.. it was that bad.

I admit...I was in deep.

Top Gear is very much still around, and I find it just as good with it’s current set of hosts.

I can’t believe I was trying to defend him to my wife when he was fired from the BBC for slugging a producer.

Is there any valid reason to actually have so much animosity toward Markle? She just seems like, I dunno, a person...I admit I don’t keep up on the British royal family in the way that someone like Clarkson does, but beyond the usual racism and sexism, is there really anything she’s done to inspire SO MUCH vitriol?

I’m short. NP - but just.

I remember, years ago, when I saw my first electric RC standing backflip thinking “When we get batteries worked out, electric cars are going to change what speed means for cars forever.” In RC during the days of brushed motors and NiCad batteries, It was basically Nitro if you wanted speed. Then Brushless DC motors…

It’s like going to Kia and buying a Soul and paying extra to get a spare tire only for them to take your money, give you no tire, and then tell you that the spare tire is just aspirational.

Thats easy, my old R6.

I once poured a whole gallon of windshield washer fluid in the windshield washer tank without any spilling. Definitely something I’ll tell my grand kids one day.

I’m currently replacing the quarter panels for my ‘65 Suburban. They don’t make quarter panels, so I decided (along with some people before me) to use bedsides from the same generation C10 short-box. The forums were filled with people saying how hard of a process it is because the bedside isn’t quite right.

I can help! This is my friends dad’s vehicle. He owned a body shop in Texas and built it before retirement. He loved shortened vehicles and they tow this behind a converted bus. They moved to Richland several years ago when my friend got a job up there.

The sooner Elon destroys Twitter due to his own egomania, the better.  Then advertisers can put their money to platforms that aren’t democracy-crushing scum.

I think the Buddhist swastika faces the opposite direction?

There is a temple on my street with swastikas. Nobody cares because they know its a buddhist temple. If it was just some dude putting up nazi swastikas and confederate flags I would have burned his down down while he slept. Context matters

And tall.

You could have just left it at “white guy” then.

I mean yes, I am. But speaking from experience, if you come from a trailer park family, it will only get you a nice middle class life with a 401k. You need to be born 2 steps from home plate to get as far as he did.
