I never understood “near miss”; as in “we nearly missed it”.  No...you nearly HIT it. George Carlin did it better but yeah.

Back in June of 2007, I was flying to Los Angeles to visit my sister - this was my first visit and like only my second or third time flying*. I got a ride into O’Hare, had plenty of time to clear security, etc., and get to my gate. And it started to rain, a huge storm system that spread all the way back to the middle…

There was that incoming fire while in a Chinook over near Qalat Afghanistan. Other than that not much

Seconded! I bought that mini impact driver thing she recommended early on. Absolutely love her writing and I don’t even mind the slideshows haha.

I use one of those plastic ones because they are cheap (under $10) and the reverse side has a thread checker. It’s also small enough to store out of the way

And a truck to pull it.

The “meeting in the middle” metaphor would have been more accurate if it was an ad about Springsteen being pulled over for a DUI, running towards the cop’s car, reaching for the cops gun, firing at the cop, and then jumping back and being like “can we just meet in the middle?” when backup showed up.

Turns out, “The Middle” is actually the part of the road Springsteen was driving on.

One side literally just stormed the US capitol, erected gallows, and threatened to hang politicians. So no, I have zero desire for unity with anyone who supported that, and the fact that we still have politicians who defend it is disgusting.

Interior style will be pretty minimalistic, really. We’re not looking to go nuts like you’d see with those really creative builds. But honestly it’s sort of something we’re both learning and figuring out as we go along. I definitely know I want to take advantage of the space for a killer sound system. lol

Will it cost 150k because it is a “man’s truck”?

Yup, the manual versions of this were rated at only 250HP, and the autos at 245.
My cousin has an auto of the same year. Both my Honda Odyssey and my Toyota Highlander beat it in a straight line. 

Cool truck, but whoa . . .

That’s just because the styling of the base F150 underwent a more radical change between the two prior gens than the last gen and current one, and the Raptor got a new engine. Now the base Raptor engine is largely carried over like the rest of F150 power trains minus the hybrid. It looks damn near identical to the…

Support these people. Tell them to buy and drive what they love. Go with them to help pick up the cars. 

Hey where can we play with this fun thing you made?

These are all good and valid points but for the mileage and condition the price seems justified to me. This thing is a museum piece, probably the best one left on the road. Recent sales of oddball but pristine old vehicles on cars and bids and other auction sites indicate that rarity and great condition have value,…

Only Britain could take one of the most dependable cars in the world at that time, a Honda Accura Legend, and make it unreliable.

Let's repeat it with a right hand drive Brat.
