I take it as a sign of progress that we’re at least talking about potential cabinet secretaries that actually have the qualifications for the job. Whoever the next Transportation Secretary is can’t be nearly as corrupt as the current one is (Mrs. Turtle). Several departments need to be almost completely re-staffed…

Finally, he finds something to unite us all!

What’s funny is that I recently had a neighbor here in WA that moved in with a truck that had a Utah plate on the front and an expired Arizona plate on the back. She removed the front plate after a few months, but had that expired AZ plate on the back for at least 18 more months. That plate was eye level to any police…

I’m seeing these “repair networks” as a combination of old-time TV repairmen and current cable installers. They will be classified as independent contractors, and probably have to pay a certification fee (kickback) in order to work in a particular geographic region (turf). They may be able to work on multiple brands…

When was the last time you heard of some robot intentionally hiding beer cans in the doors?

It’s either patent acquisition or warehouse robot tech. The future is order fulfillment and distribution centers, and robots don’t pause to pee in a bottle while on the clock.

Any potential buyer of this should see it in person with their most trusted canine companion. This was most likely a K-9 unit, and so you’ll need a friend that can understand its four-legged history.  A couple good whiffs of that back section will be all it takes.

Our tax system currently favors the investor class over the working class by a significant margin. The quickest & easiest route to the investor class, other than birth, is a white-collar job that requires a college degree. If you bust your back for a decade in the trades, you might be making 100k to pay 35k in taxes.…

This is the best answer to the generic question of “What should we do with <car>?”

That’s the best option, where the job is handled by mid-wage state employees. It might be aggravating at times (DMV), but at least there is some accountability and uniformity.

The problem is that such a well intended regulation will be quickly subverted for private profit. Easily bribed state legislators pass an inspection law but farm out the actual inspection regime to a private contractor with bogus claims of “job creation”. That private contractor now has a monopoly on required commerce …

This would also explain his wish for a golf course near Sean, preferably with wide runfairways.

It reminds me more of the end of Easy Rider, when the rednecks drive-by murder Billy the Kid as he’s riding his motorcycle.

Yeah, if I was going to drive around people I like and want to keep comfortable, a Toyota Century is a great choice. If the seat height works for the folks, this is perfect.
Sounds like the dude’s in New Hampshire, so the oddest choice is probably the most likely. If you see another one in any parking lot, you’re…

This dude is seriously manning up and dedicating himself to taking care of his elderly parents, and your response is “Let ‘em deal with strangers instead”?

I didn’t know joystick trim sliders were still around, but like many things stuck in a time warp, this one went hard right.

Sounds like he has most of his net worth tied up in those 300ZXs, too, since he had to hock 3 of them to raise the 15k. Can’t be a great rate on that loan, so it’s very fortunate the parts will reap a bonanza. He’s also obviously into the JDM parts scene, so he has a leg up on a many of the Storage War types that…

“Dear Jesus, please guide the hands and eyes of the doctors using laparoscopy to remove the cysts from my daughter’s ovaries. And thank you for blessing us with those cysts in the first place. #Amen.”

This thing is a bit misleading. A little after the moment in the still shot at the top of this post, you can see a different “Loos Garden” painted on another wall with arrows underneath each of the words. (3:42) Presumably similar arrows have been already painted over in the still shot. Two separate words for two…

“Sir, you are making a mockery of our ‘Leave a Taco - Take a Taco’ policy!”
