  1. So she said no, huh?
  2. It was a '99 if memory serves. No later than a '98 model. So built no earlier than 1997.
  3. Was. The Exclusivity Deal with Amazon for these vans just ended. You can now buy one if you want, but they are still prioritizing fleet deals so probably a few years before average consumers/one-off buyers like local plumbers/van life aficionados can actually get one.
  4. Yes. At least on a 1999 Dodge Ram, which I had to do back when I was 19 as I posted about up thread.
  5. I actually had this happen to me when I was in college. Bought a used truck in San Antonio, was driving it back to Austin. The damn throttle got stuck open and I was accelerating no matter what I did. I threw it in neutral and pulled off 35 somewhere in New Braunfels and coasted into a parking lot. Popped open the hood, called my dad on my cell phone (some Nokia brick but it worked like a charm), and he walked me through what to look for. I found a rubber gasket had somehow become lodged and was keeping the throttle open no matter what. I fixed it and was on my way. And I was a 19 year old college sophomore at the time.
  6. Nuh uh!
  7. But their healthcare is and they have like 2-3 months of paid vacation. Game, blouses.
  8. My actual tax amount went down by about $650 even though my assed value increased the maximum allowed amount.
  9. It’s time we add a mullet scalp to our 2023 belt. Fuck that OAN watching fraud.
  10. I’ll have what she’s having.
  11. I’m here for the gangbang.
  12. That's not how pleading the 5th works in civil cases. You can still plead the 5th, but the finder of fact (Judge or Jury) can make any negative inference about your decision not to testify. It's not perjury, but it pretty much is taken as an admission of wrongdoing.
  13. Lawyers. Which is 98% of surly.
  14. Well traffic is officially fucked.
  15. If you can find me a client to bill an hour of my time to watch that, I'll give them!
  16. Get fucked.

    I would love to see Patterson at Arky with Holgerson as OC. actually, fuck that, no I wouldn’t. That might actually work.
  18. Eh, I get it though. If I'm driving way out in West Texas where LTE sucks, I'd like the option of Satellite radio (not to mention the sports coverage which is where it really shines IMO). And with the "Adventure Vehicle" name (that's what Rivian calls them), you'd think that they would want to have backups for people who actually use them in places without LTE coverage. I did see that they are supposed to add SiriusXM in 2024, not sure if it will be a "streaming" version or if they have the hardware already built in to get the actual satellite signal.

    I mean Mack Brown has done OK at UNC (Electric Bugaloo). Arkansas should be happy with those type of results.
  20. Well, I mean obviously it’s a rebuilding project. So of course it’s a construction contract.
  21. Maybe the real champions were the friends they made along the way?
