To all, I'm out. It's been fun. The few of you I've met, you seem like good folks (for the most part). But I hardly ski or bike any more, need to cahnge that and hanging out here won't help make...

Wow, your version of freedom is pathetic.

I've seen smarter discussions among high schoolers.

Rubber? You sure you got that part right?

Traffic management is always about social engineering as much as it is about the physical kind.

The "debates" in this place are actually worse than the "debates" in the comment section of my local newspaper. Less informed, more full of invective, and completely devoid of useful insight. ...

Anything with a bubble presents a nice opportunity to top up your buzz.

I go tmarried once, and I might get married again some day, so how about you all chip in to buy me a shitton of lap dances?

You should probably not comment about someone else's kids.

WTF is a "stag and drag"?

Wedding and baby showers are about providing financial help to people who are actually going to procreate, not people who are thinking maybe they'll do so later. I...

so, you're saying "big improvement in dating life."

I'm sure you've seen the bumper stickers "If you can read this roll me over." When I see those I think "fuckin' amateur."

Strong work on loading that trailer. The guys who keep shiny jacks on their hoods would have had their camping gear spread out all over that mountainside. But to their unintentional credit, they'd...

IS the same true for Volvos? Never owned one, but stumbled across this today: https://boise.craigslist.org/cto/d/2001-volvo-v70xc-t5/6510639348.html

If it is painted bright red, doesn't have any scratches, and is mounted on the hood, directly in front of the windshield, it is a penis substitute. Same with a bright red shovel mounted on the side...

I would dump the 97 Dodge Dakota and the 96 GMC Yukon. Yes, the engines and trannies may have been replaced, but that just means everything else on those vehicles has extremely high miles.

The...

Also, if you're trying to leave furniture in the house hwile it's on the market, yhou can work that out two ways. One is leave the furniture there, and just have a moving company come get it when...

If you've got 2 kids, 2 big dogs, and it's a 2000 mile move, you need to stop trying to do it all yourself, and you need to avoid going back and forth. Hire movers, clear out the old house, put it...

Does it actually surprise you to learn that there are many layers of social injustice, not just one? When we got rid of "colored" bathrooms, were you surprised that we next had to address rules...

Yep to all of that. But that might just be the rig I think he SHOULD want (because it's the equivalent of what I would have wanted at that age) and may not be the rig he really wants. Been...

Is that yours? If so, please tell me more about its mechanicals. What's been done, and what still needs done? At that price I could afford to sink some pretty substantial additional repairs into...

Meh. Hipster bullshit flavors.

The Tillamook Huckleberry is great, even if the ice cream itself is only good, the huckleberry flavor is over the top.

One of my first jobs many years ago was...

Yeah, I forgot about those. Drove one once, thought it was a lot of vehicle for the money.

You really are very poorly informed, aren't you? I can order you a vest from WalMart for about half the price of a cheap handgun.



Again, you are very poorly informed. Have you ever done any...

If sex is so inconsequential why has this dumbas thread gone over 130 posts?

Are you aware that some people treat life as something other than an opportunity for yet another lesson? That some people, including parents, just do nice things for each other? You probably are...

You just led me to cars that are no tsold in the U.S., or, in the case of hte Chevy Spark, when sold in the U.S. have an MSRP well over $10k.



That ad was a bait and switch. The fine print...

Yeah, I had to overcome, and I did.

It's hair. It'll grow again.

When I first grew the mustache/goatee I still wear today, I was liking it and thought it looked pretty damn good. I went to Portland to argue what had the...

OK, if you jtake AWD/4WD off the wants list, what awesome vehicles get added to the list that I should be looking at? There are no reliable Sciroccos left out there in the wild, so what mid-sized...

She is clearly using th ephrase "rigorous engineering education research" in a hyper-technical way. She is not talking generally about engaging in a rigorous exercise of engineering principles,...

XXXer, I don't think there are any new cars for $10k. Cheap new cars start around $15k.

And AWD is definitely a want, not a need. When I was 21, AWD barely existed, and 4WD was expensive. These...

Make sur ehe keeps good rubber on it, and it should. AWD is no substitute for good tires.

Several folks have mentioned the Honda Element, they're a little pricey for age and mileage. But one of the things I'm taking into consideration is that on vehicles with well over 100k miles, I...

True, but the public transit options take at least twice as long, and biking three times as long. He has spent the last 9 months back and forth between Brooklyn and L&C and it's a bigger PITA than...

The engineering critique strikes me as one of those situations where he is talking about something other htan what you think he is. "Engineering rigor" means something to him differen tfrom what it...

The Honda was totally a "dad" car. It was a good choice for a family truckster. Or, at least, it would have been if I'd kept better rubber on it. Leson learned. But now the kids are getting...

Why? I've ridden in one of those, years ago, and it seemed pretty decent. Engines any good? Will suspension and steering hold up over the long haul?

He doesn't realy have the skillset to choose a car yet. Yes, he has led a sheltered life ,but that's largely because he grew up in a place where he almost never needed a car, so he and his buddies...

My car's a piece of shit. In a moment of weakness, I gave in to Jeep disease and bought a Liberty (it was pretty cheap, looked good, and god do I love Jeeps, but I might as well have just burned my...

Come on, man, I'll take anything you've got in inventory for $8k.

One of my kids needs a car, and I'm thinking about buying him one. I'm looking for the right mix of practical and fun, not going excessively in either direction.

Here are the general constraints,...

I'm too lazy to post a pic, but if I did it would show the snow falling in my backyard. Not only am I too lazy to post a pic, I'm way too lazy to get out there and take some runs.

Go to a fucking doctor. We're talking about your knee here. You're going to need that for most of the rest of your life. yeah, it can be replaced, but you don't want to go there. Sure, the doc...

And LaPierre totally lost his shit at CPAC this week, claiming that the "elites" are trying to dump the 2ndAm as prelude to eliminating "all our personal freedoms." I'm gonna enjoy watching a bunch...

Here in SW potato land we went from spring last week, to winter this week.

I hear he also skis, shoots, and can cast a dry fly like nobody's biz. And never once felt the need to "prove" his coolness by posting pics of somebody else's grow op, or going to gunfag "tactical"...

That is one awesome looking dude. Men want to be him, women want to be with him.

or sharks with frickin' lasers

That's not exactly news.
