I know that now we're all supposed to hate on the Germans for importin' alla them fancy cars that they make here in our factories in the South with American employees and all, but I could really get behind a Transatlantic Beer Tunnel.
Make it happen, Germany!
It's gratifying to see that, aside from several reporters who really should know better, no one's buying the | WH War Room's | transparently amateurish Syria cover story.
Surely those two realize by now how far offshore they've strayed and what kinds of monsters are circling. I can almost smell the fear and gin-soaked flop sweat from here.
Yeah, it totally makes sense to leave the delicate matter of foreign war intel to a doofus like Kusher rather than use the diplomatic and intelligence back channels already in place. Nothing to question here.
Part of the backlash stemmed, perhaps, from a poor translation: In its German-language editions, Spiegel used the word “böse” — which can mean “bad” but is closer to the English word “evil.”
I quit messing with engines ever since under the hood started to look like a tubeworm colony and you needed a specific diagnostic computer to tell what the stupid light on the dash meant. I still do everything else, even though I have to remove a serious amount of plastic and metal shielding to change out my spark plugs on the Taco.
Get that battery tech on the road so's we can bag this I.C. nonsense, huh?
I get an alert from NASA whenever there's an evening flyover. I totally missed it tonight, though. Crystal clear sky, but it got away from me.
I haven't set up the 'scope, per se, Been busy af with the move, no flat surface outside yet, etc. Now I'm working on getting a garage built. Hope I get some down time soon.
Full disclosure, almost all my vehicles have been purchased used, and the former owners didn't sell them because they didn't like the color of the paint. That said, my worst vehicle ever was a 1984 Ford Ranger, which I consider pre-modern because it was still carbureted. It had an early version of their electronic engine control (EEC) which was problematic. The engine and transmission were Japanese, from different manufacturers, and the transfer case was German. I can't imagine a more haphazardly assembled pile of crap. The very best used car I ever owned was a 1993 Ford Thunderbird. Absolutely trouble-free car, up to 180,000 miles when it started showing it's age and wear. Still, I drove it another 70K miles after the valve job, then it just fell into disrepair from sitting idle. I got the cash for clunkers equivalent out of it when I traded it in on the Mustang. I don't work on any of them anymore. I don't want to deal with used oil disposal, I don't fit under the Mustang anyway, and fuck it, I'm old.

Saves time driving to package goods stores. German efficiency at it's finest.

There'll never be another u.
My Dodge was built in Mexico. We beat them, right?

ISIS is doing laps around your block? Well it is Caliphornia.

We could fit in the same seat, but then we'd be degenerate.
I find modern USAmerican cars are the equal of anything from anywhere, these days.
