California is very hypocritical as a state. I live in northern NM, and both my area and neighboring corners of Utah and Arizona are lousy with disgusting coal-fired plants. I can see two from my back yard, stacks spewing soot (or “water vapor” as the morons who support them allege). Where do you think that power goes?…

Negotiation is unnecessary unless inventory managers are not good at their jobs, or not allowed to do their jobs well.

Is it your assertion, then, that since racism makes up “only” a fifth of the disparity (as you claim), it’s not an issue? Odd position to take.

They have also argued - vociferously - against speed as a factor in fatality statistics and against speed being treated as a universally bad thing in the past.  

Except a lot of the power they use for homes, business, and infrastructure  actually comes from dirty old coal and gas plants here in the poorer parts of the west (NM, UT, CO, AZ)

With the reliability of the early 2000s VWs, the W8 in particular, the seller would have to pay me to take it,

I assume he rolled in driving something very silly and expensive with a CarMax warranty.

If I had my little way, I’d eat peaches every day.

Mr. Tracy, if you ever need a kidney, I’ll trade one of mine for this van. 35yo non-smoker, non-drinker, non-diabetic. Just saying.

I will eat it from a lab

Here’s my Lazy Ass Summer Squash recipe. I’m getting 5/day out of my garden and devised this method to make myself eat them. Uses surprisingly little butter as the squash steam themselves, and is both low-mess and hands free. 

$46K for a full sized truck.  This thing isn’t “mid” anything.

Can you imagine if BMW made a pickup truck?  

I love my 1993 F-250. NM truck so no rust whatsoever. 4x4, extended cab (back when that meant “two doors and a punishingly small back seat”), 8' bed, 351 with a stick. Gets 10mpg but it’s fun as hell to drive.

Base model was, but you couldn’t get it in brown.

You need to take petty revenge on the snitch. Suggestions:

Neutral: III is OK, but my heart belongs to II.  My wife actually introduced me to the Diablo series 15 years ago.  Those games are AWESOME.  Try 2.  Seriously. With expansion.  

Ohio car with bubbling rockers?  CP!   That beautiful paint needs to be redone, IF the car is even salvageable. 

I love how RE’s bikes look.

S10s have electrical gremlins that will take years off your life hunting down. That platform was twitchy. They tend not to be fatal; just stuff like blinkers/wipers/lights/blower motors etc.
