Lastly this 2024 Civic hatchback that is a “luxury” ride to me.

So your second car into retirement was a 2000 that was bought new...Holy shit

I can’t believe you drove a ‘64 Rambler until 1978. That make died before I started driving, but my dad had a couple. He indicated that reliability and longevity were not Rambler qualities.

first car I remember riding in, I was about 3.5-4yo.  My mom's brown 1978 Buick LeSabre sedan.  

Texas A&M fired their horrible coach mid-season in 1978, and they finished 7th outta 8 in hoops.  

Back in a time when College Station was considered 'cosmopolitan' for East Texas.  Back when we measured that brown tank's fuel economy not by the miles per gallon, but how many cigarette butts would accumulate in the two front ashtrays.  Usually 40 had to accumulate (2 packs) which meant it was time to stop of and refuel, and buy more Winstons.

He’s going out on a stretcher before mid season.

His teammates will surely thank him after the beat down.

Every car I've ever bought has been a beater. I love beaters, they are awesome. You don't have to give a shit about anything. Get banged up? Who cares. Shit breaks? The entire car only cost $500, throw the shit away and buy another beater. I drive them till they literally fall apart. Never had a bill for a car note in my life. Cars are just a thing that gets me from point A to point B, so long as it has air conditioning and something I can install a tape deck into for a tape deck adapter, I'm fine.

Were the Ramblers the 4 door whose front seat would fold down as flat as a bed? I think they had metal brackets attached to the frame of the back seat for support as they laid down.

Driving a beater is so liberating.  You don't worry about anyone messing with it, and no one ever parks too close.

Next I caught a ride with a gamblers wife
She had a brand new laid down Rambler
She stopped outside of town
Laid the rambler down
Said she sure could dig it if I rode her

Hey, since we are using the Burnt End funds to purchase @immamac's Surly Horns' ride, let's chill on the disparaging Cybertruck comments. They aren't appreciated by the committee.

[ousux 5597]

i don't have time to fuck with secrant but someone absolutely needs to ask in every forum - are they really actually po'ed at us already? - what have we done in our first 28 days in the league that's pissed off anyone?

aggy propaganda and revisionist history was more effective than we thought it would be. Yes, that's it In a nutshell.

[ousux 5597]

Saw one in the wild the other day for the first time and could not believe how fucking ugly the thing was.  Pictures do not do it justice.  It's the most god awful thing I've ever seen.  I said to my 11 year old, could you imagine paying so much money for something so hideous?  He agreed, but also thought it was kind of cool.  He's 11 so I gave him a pass.

I passed 2 in a mini-convoy on I-20 a couple weeks back. Beyond the ugly they are somehow simultaneously smaller AND larger than they appear in pictures. That's the real engineering triumph.

Yea, me neither.

Meh, the real sec fans have figured out aggy. The hate is from talking heads.

I said it in another thread, but what Oregon did at the B1G media days by putting a 65’ duck in the river was cool and fun. If Texas would have done something similar at sec media days it would have been ridiculed for 25 hours a day.

I never see anything in the bed of most regular pickups. 

At least not the ones driven by white folks.

Well call it a lesson learned, or maybe I'm stupid but I will NEVER be without a pickup if I can help it. I've only been "pickupless" once in my life from 2001-2005, and I'll be damned if I didn't need one every time I turned around.  I guess it's an extreme case of "better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

I bought an expedition XL in 2012 because kids and sold it in 14. Back to crew cab trucks that I drove since the 90s. I have 2 gas cans and a 25 gallon sprayer for weeds at my lease in there right now for Saturday. Can’t do that in a suv.

Since just 2010, I’ve owned an older Silverado, a Sierra, down to a Tacoma, while my Company car was a shitty Chevy car, and finally back to owning a Ram truck. I hated driving the co car, as when one is used to driving higher (visibility wise), it’s tough to go down to a lower level.

I’m one of those truck owners that outside the 6-10 trips to Lowe’s or HD and etc, there might be five other times annually that I really use a truck bed. I just like riding higher, appreciate the bigger engine, and the fact that I have the truck bed if I need it.

Hook’em!!!

Thousands of miles and a lifetime ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Gordie Howe at a hockey tournament I was playing in. GREAT guy. My dad asked him for any advice he was willing to pass on to me. Howe said "you have two eyes and a mouth and you already know which one you need to keep shut." 

When I see Zuhn and Weigman running off like this, it's very clear that, at a minimum, they just haven't thought this through. And that's probably stating the situation very generously.

Then again, as amazing as Howe was, he probably set NHL player salaries back by a decade by kind of timidly refusing to open his mouth and complain about team owners not paying fair wages so maybe I'm wrong.
