Confession as an old school car person: I REALLY like the Volkswagen ID.Buzz. I'd definitely put it on the very short list of new cars I'd actually like to own. If I could afford it, I'd happily go down to a dealership right now.
Not sure if you saw any of the recent local news stories about Three Mile Island, but there is all this talk about restarting in the next year and the images inside the control room show equipment that is older than me. I turn 40 next year. I love old cars, not sure about that with nuclear.
NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.
Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)
Look what's president, I don't put any stock in polls.
Now if Shapiro would just recognize this. I am terrified he's going to throw the PA Governor race.
Guys, I hate to this say this...
I don't think much planning went into this whole Iran thing.
What really bugs me about this war...nobody I speak to in person has mentioned it. Gas prices, sure, but a war. I can't tell if it's lack of information, generational fatigue, or just people being burned out by the news. ICE and Epstein come up, but not war.
A gray 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage with a skull on the grill somewhere in Utah.
I have my dream car and one of my other favorites, but truth be told I do plan on buying another Mirage one day. At the time the Mirage arguably had a lower carbon footprint than many EVs, now with more support and efficiency, likely not. It was still a fun car which made adventure possible.
A white crown victoria police interceptor sitting in the dark under a tree.
As somebody who used to drive exclusively small Japanese cars, I feel embarrassed to admit that out of my two current vehicles, the most fuel efficient is a 2 ton V8 sedan...
I really miss my Mirage right now. One day I was broke and got to work and back on $6 worth of gas. /
"Delta Force has been captured..."
I was Tier 1 SOWT and supported Tier 1 operators (including 1st SFOD-D "Delta Force"). If you see a headline like this, it's pretty safe to ignore. I kept a 9x19mm round for my sidearm where I could access it with either hand for a reason. Capture wasn't possible.
I got challenged to a race at a legit drag strip. Based on our cars it comes down to the driver. My son is convinced I'm going to catch the bug and worse, be good at it. So not only will I post about history, but also about racing. Maybe both. Planning a bootlegger Model A build.
That thing in the white ball cap is a dirtbag piece of shit. He's not dignified, he's a loser. He's a failure of a human who managed to dodge a coat hanger and sends my brothers and sisters to death because of his micro dick. He's a pedophile and a rapist. He deserves no other title than those.
Healey: He offered comments that are detached from the reality of most Americans. I mean, most Americans right now are not out celebrating the Dow. They’re trying to figure out how to pay for housing…
They keep having sales on Icon and I've been totally buying them. Realized doing plugs on the Mustang that higher quality ratchets keep ratcheting even after broken free. I'm not used to that.
I accidentally donated my ratchet to my job, so I was going through my tool box finding ones I'd forgotten about. I found 3...now I have 2, because my daughter wants one to work on cars.
If you are going to do it, I highly recommend an uncomfortably large collection of gnomes, they're just part of the vibe.
2008 I was laid off from my summer job (CEO got caught embezzling) so I wore flip flops all summer, made a wattle fence in my garden, and started making bows.
And by cheap I don't mean, "Well the dealer wanted 100k and I talked him down to 95k..." I mean, 5k and sweat, blood, and tears.
My team wanted to step out briefly for a second lunch. It was a long night so I was cool with it; so my lead and I drove. They were so excited to ride in the Mustangs. Mine qualifies for antique tags and was cheap and has taken a lot of work, but it was awesome being the boss with a cool car./
Me- *tries to do manual labor*
My crew- "Jefe, we'll get that."
*sigh*
Had a big corporate meeting today. I was terrified because I had to trust that my crew did well. I got out of the meeting and thanked and praised them immediately.
Sorry, I don't make decisions based on the feelings of a pedo.
Paid over $1000 between tows to the dealership and a new computer to find out after my own digging that a secondary brake light had gone bad and was triggering limp mode. Most expensive $4 I ever spent.
I am genuinely curious, I know some armed New Yorkers, but most of them are armed for another century, are there folks in NYC who can legally respond to modern threats? (And I don't mean WWII and earlier reenactors who are good with their weapons, I could probably stand in the 17th century)
When you cross the Rubicon, you should know where you stand.
rubber trim from the headlight had become detached and was fluttering against the body panel....
Moral of the story...sometimes the dumb things are the ones that surprise us most.
Going highway speed...I hear what sounds like somebody smacking a pie pan. I take the first exit. I pull over hop out. I cannot find anything obvious. I get back in, continue on back roads. Nothing. Frustrated I speed on a straightaway. There it is again. I get home. A piece of/
It has the card from the first notary who transferred it used!!!! It says 25 years in service, the website now says "Over 40." I LOVE THIS!!!!
Manual and warranty information for a 1995 Mustang GT.
As a historian...keep the old documents with your car. As many that will fit. ❤️ I love this stuff! I wish it had the window sticker.
The AHA has endorsed a resolution introduced by Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley honoring Black history museums and cultural institutions. These institutions are “essential to telling the full story of our nation’s past,” said AHA executive director Sarah Weicksel. 🗃️
