Ukraine was a close guess. My real name is Unnewyorky, but I quickly changed that when moving to the USA...as far from NY as possible. No point in moving to a place as dismal as what I left.

Thinking more about this, I suspect that you ended up separated from your roots, turning soft and civilized. Not so American that you're fat, yet soft. Meanwhile, I have remained more of a beserkerer and don't let things like bugs on the front of the 'Cat bug me. Heck, I can't see them when...

Yup, learned that with my first car, which was a convertible. Drive fast enough and you won't get wet. Trying to come to a stop under a bridge to put the top up was the tricky part.

I learned years ago that it has to do with speed. Stay under 100 or so and there won't be many bugs on the 'Cat, as evidenced by the relative lack of them on my girlfriend's car. Over 100 and the bugs (and birds) can't get out of the way in time. Guess that's an advantage of being a city...

Now the signs people held, saying "Joe is fired", can be changed to "Joe has fired". Wow, looks like I guessed completely wrong on that one. The guys was supposedly a registered Republican.

Crap! Looks like Trump derangement symptom has been taken a new to a new level.

Okay, I have to ask... Why did you buy clay that's supposed to be used on 24 cars? Do you have that many?

I've been called worse. Besides, that the V6s parked outside are clean (by natural causes) is not a good reason for you to be jealous. Also, they're completely free of python and alligator tracks. Not even any hypodermic needles stuck underneath, like there could be on EricG's car.

Nope. The V8s live inside...which is why they're dirtier than the V6s. Now, EricG drives his through flooded streets, so it's probably clean underneath.

And God willing it'll stay that way.

Huh?!? We have four, and I wouldn't mind one more.

If you'd been driving your TRX instead, that object would've hit the bumper. And not caused any noticeable damage.

That's one reason I use the cheap Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s on the 'Cat. It doesn't get used in rain or snow anyway, and I don't need the factory speed rating since I have no plans to run over 160 mph for sustained periods, and with the car at max GVWR.

Oops. Looks like your tires wore out nine days too late.

I think Conti still has a $110 rebate going on, but that's likely for a set of four. I've used that offer twice within a month.

Too wide for his car maybe, but are you okay with that they're too tall for yours? Should be 275/40R20s.

Speaking of (not) new cars. According to Carvana used cars are down about 5% in the last 30 days. Meanwhile, Challengers have gone up by nearly 10%.

No shit! Those went from great to taxis.

When the '05 (?) Mustang came out, I liked it. If I had to have a Furd it'd be a '69 Sportroof, and that new one looked a lot like it. The Camaro? I'm not sure I would've recognized it as one unless that's what it said it was. Then the Challenger...damn near perfect, I think.

Fixed.
