Old pumpkins never die, they just slowly decompose on your lazy-ass neighbor’s porch.

Your address has a lot to do with your rates. I live in a demolition derby zone, so the rate for my worthless car are much higher than they would be if I lived in the sticks.

2a. Bye, expensive car.

That ad offended me as a LEGO collector.

It may also be a sign of how much money NBC lost this past year on things like the Olympics. Turns out no one wanted to watch tape delayed sports played in empty arenas. Who could have guessed?

Yeah, when someone asks for purchasing advice, your first response should be “what models are you considering?”.  From their list, pick the best non-German option.

Also great advice for someone buying a lawnmower or generator.

If you thought that VTEC kick was solid booster, think again!

She has a full-time stylist on her staff, doesn’t she?  I swear I’ve never seen two pictures of this woman with the same look.  That must be exhausting.

The stiletto heel turn would be awesome.

Except that Henry Ford’s contemporaries were calling him a greedy asshole anti-semite while he was alive. There is no backwards projection needed.

This discussion also seems to ignore a very important fact: America’s population has increased 50% in the past 50 years. Average car ownership per household has similarly skyrocketed. All those people and cars have to be/go somewhere, and that somewhere is our roads.

As someone who recently watched the series for the first time, I will recommend that you don’t plan on binge watching it.  It’s too intense for more than a couple episodes per day, and you’ll want to reflect on each one for a bit before moving on to the next.

If you happened to own some otherwise useless farmland in the area, you should be excited for the new plant. All those workers are going to need shitty townhouses to live in for 5 years.

It’s a backdoor way of trying to deal with crumbling roads. “Off-roading” is often just driving 2 miles down a country road that became an arterial because of unplanned growth.

Go figure.  All the animals will kill you, but the cars won’t.
