When I started my first “real” job in 1982, my branch chief had a secretary to handle calls and correspondence.   Years later when I was promoted to the same level, my secretary was the computer in front of me to do my own damn correspondence.  My phone did have caller ID, so I could screen calls, at least.

My brother bought a brand new ‘78 Trans Am when they were just slapping them together on the assembly line, and it showed. It was an incredible piece of shit. It rattled and squeaked like it had 100k miles on it. The dealership’s remedy for the leaking T-tops was to give him a towel. The best part was that I owned a…

If for whatever reason I owned an albatross of a Mustang II, I would do the same thing. However, I remember reading that the Pinto-based Mustang II frame couldn’t handle the horsepower and torque of anything more than the lame engines they put in them.

“Selvage” title and pre-Selvage pictures?  Run away!

Pardon my total lack of knowledge on this, but let me ask this question:  I am assuming there is little risk from driving on these roads, but what is the risk of those building these roads?  I am somehow reminded of the watch dial painters in the days of yore, where only they received significant doses to impact their…

So now Ford has created a cost/benefit analysis for potential buyers, i.e. how much gas needs to be “saved” to make this option pay back its cost.

I can buy a car that is just as interesting, if not more interesting for less than half the price.

But I want to be in a Pharoah like tomb, complete with all of my worldly possessions available to me in my afterlife.  

Is their gas Top Tier?

Went to the post office in a neighboring town to renew an expired passport. The postal worker who processed it was great. Should have my passport in September.

Does it have direct pipelines, or do the tanker trucks come in every 10 minutes?

Donald Pleasance, of course. The original Doctor Evil.

I only wax the hood. That way, from the driver’s seat I have deluded myself into thinking the entire vehicle looks as good.

When I was eighteen, I bought a Gen 2 Z-28. When I turned 22, I said “why the Hell am I driving this?” I guess that was the exact moment I became a grown-ass adult. Traded it in on an Escort. Didn’t care what they gave me for trade in and stopped caring what anyone thought about me.

This dumb bitch is stupid and wrong every which way.

I was being sarcastic.  

I was probably on that train, or it happens way too frequently.  Same route.  I kept looking out of the window thinking I could walk faster than this train is going.  

Nope. Nobody wants to work ‘cause of them gubmint handouts.
