Beats me. My dad was born in 1934, so not a boomer. He was an alcoholic (reformed at some juncture, to his credit) but man that devil's lettuce was the root of all evil. Substance that makes you angry and want to fight people? That's John Wayne shit right there. Substance that makes you want to chi...

Holy shit man I’m sorry. That must have been terrifying. Glad you are mostly intact. It all happened so fast. It went from "Oh shit, she's turning" to "Crap, she's not stopping" and then finally "Oh, this is going to suck." Then the impact. Those airbags go off with th...

Anecdote of one I know… But my parents have yet to have a paid off home and they’ve had two houses, the first was sold. They did rent it out to my sister for a long time on the cheap because she had a kid in high school and life didn’t go so great. Now she had to move to bumfuck to afford rent beca...

Might want to crank up a nice little PI settlement to add to the payoff on the Camaro.

I have contacted one already.

Just pulled right in front of you? RIP bitchin' Camaro. Glad you're mostly OK> Yeah, I had the green she must have had a left on green light, and she didn't see me at all. Just turned in front of me.

And the Fruit Roll Up House? Ah, sorry. It’s kind of a joke of times past; when high school drop out Beatrice was working as a secretary to a big shot and giving sloppy toppies at lunch time while the boys were smoking some cigars, she was still able to purchase a house for the value of a fruit rol...

F or those who haven't heard, a lady turned left in front of me on Friday. Fairly certain the Camaro is totaled, it's quite damaged. I'm doing okay, left shoulder is fucked. I went to the doctor, and nothing is broken so that's good. Been doing a lot of car shopping. Just pulled right in front of y...

I’m not saying redistribute wealth, I’m saying let the young’s get the same opportunities the old had. That requires the same benefits the olds receive/received when they were our age . How about that ? It’ll never happen when mommy milkers Nancy and her crew are deep in the middle of milking the c...

Alimony is 1:2 of the years you’re married until year 7. Been exploring some options just in case.

If one doesn’t “oversimplify” you get nothing done and write 10000 page regulations on how high to cut the grass and if birds fart. Facts are facts. Our younger generations are being fucked into oblivion and carrying the golden geese into the retirement Homes. It’s a bit more troubling than just wh...

Not a single new alternator for a VW 1.8T in the entire Charlotte Metro Area?

Here is a fun story: My college best friend/roommate (drives :manuel: Taco) and his wife have a Golf AllTrac that she drives. They got a warning light on the dash that the battery wasn't charging. He actually called me and I suggested testing the alternator. Well, they don't have a volt meter even ...

"Quality is #1" - Ford It was still an incredibly durable car. 410k miles under original engine and trans. And it drove itself onto the Junker. I shed a tear inside for sure. This was also a car where I learned its oem parts or nothing. 68 oil changes on the same car will teach you a thin...

Taxing unrealized capital gains is the most atrocious thing I’ve heard in a long time. I don’t care what income level, that’s just criminal. Also, they can say all they want about raising the LT capital gains on only earners over $1.0M, but it’s only a matter of time before they decide to make it u...
