The easiest way to make a small fortune in the restaurant / bar business is to start with a large fortune and invest.

Lancaster County represent! two of us on Jalopnik!

I can’t decide what’s more annoying:

The Delaware section of the article is wrong, like they’re talking about a farmers market staffed by pennsylvannia dutch people, saying they’re from DE, and then saying the market is in a different city than it actually is.

The turbo was really rudimentary without a wastegate or proper…

First I am not a General Motors fan at all. Someone made an entire decades long career out bashing a car that was basically no more dangerous than many other cars from the same era.
