Cramer is all about stock valuation and shareholder wealth. His horizon does not extend beyond the fiscal quarter. Customers are only a means to an end, and nothing else. In other words, he represents capitalism at its purest. What he refuses to understand is that his mindset is the reason unions exists, there are…

I neglected to take into account the much longer wheelbase than I was accustomed to.  I figured it out quickly.

Years ago, I rented a 27' box truck for a household move. While jumping two curbs directly after leaving the rental site I was cursing them for letting me rent it.  I quickly adapted, though.

When making a left turn, staying in the closest lane may be not be practical. First, you may be driving a vehicle with a very long wheelbase, like a truck. Secondly, you may be pulling a trailer. Thirdly, an idiot driver to the left at the intersection stopped a full car length over the wide white stripe he or she was…

I guess I’ll have to take my half-pint of Meyer’s Rum elsewhere to start my weekend.

Yes, some folks get wistful about old trucks, and maybe some pickups escaped the malaise, shit bucket era somewhat unscathed.  Dodge is not one of them.  NFD.

Same in my area (Richmond, VA).  F-150's are used as family haulers by people who have 20-mile (one way) commutes and constantly bitch about the price of gas.  

Not being RHD disqualifies from Nantucket/Martha’s Vineyard duty.

The seller didn’t forget who he’s working for.  

Makes you wonder how many sex workers he started with.

Still having a loan balance tells me the car is on its second owner at the least. IDK, it looks in good shape but as cars like these go through owners, the more they get beaten like rented mules.  Maybe this care is an exception, but the rent is too damn high.  ND.

From the Washington Post:

He wasn’t right before that.

In the book “My Years with General Motors”, Alfred Sloan dedicated an entire chapter to this engine.  He acknowledged the engineering failures, but held the Oakland Motorcar Company up as its sacrificial lamb.

Are you still upset that you pump our own gas, or an operator isn’t asking you whom to connect to when you pick up your phone handset?

Pontiac did such an incredible job with the Solstice Coupe? I sat in one that was on the showroom floor. I’m not prone to claustrophobia, but that car did it for me. While turning my head left, my eyes were looking directly at the roof. I had to bow my head to look out of the window. Everything was an ergonomic…

Jacques Pépin taught me that if I need only a few tablespoons of tomato paste in a recipe, ketchup to the rescue!

“Over its four-year model run (1974—1977)....” Yet we are talking about a ‘78 Mustang II.

Why didn’t they fix the payroll system and run it for those 45K carriers?  There was a saying several decades ago that circulated among us “data processing” types:  An employee will let you fuck his wife before you fuck his paycheck.

That crossed my mind.
