I don't buy them until they are physically impossible to keep on the road, lol. That $500 Jeep ZJ I had was a throughly wretched machine that I somehow kept alive for 4 years as a shambling reanimated corpse.
*that* should make the magazine...
Rule #1 of say what- if you say it should be in say what, it is never going to be in say what.
I've been researching '52-55 Lincolns, and watching Iron Trap Garage

Either I am extremely cynical, or the canoes are getting more buoyant. I can't really tell which.
I suppose the confession part is where I'm probably going a little nuts being stuck inside all the time.
Sometimes I ponder hard questions like if a widow loses her husband at a young age and then remarries. If they all go to heaven do they live together in polygamy or does the first husband lose out because of the death till you part rule?

Or are there separate heavens for each person? An infinite number of parallel universes?
I confess that after watching 2-1/2 seasons of the Rockford Files recently that I realized there would've been less beatings, fewer random people showing up, and minimum weirdos scoping him out if his trailer wasn't so visible in some Los Angeles public beach parking lot.

Wouldn't the "death 'till you part rule" applies to all three of them? If you are curious, I can point you to your question and how it was answered, but heaven and afterlife fall under religion so I won't post here. I only mention that because I thought you might find the coincidence of questions amusing.
Suppose that the marriage had run its course and they viewed death as the fulfillment of their obligation. Should you be subject to an afterlife of regret and unhappiness simply because you kept your word the first time around?
At least 3-5 times a week I convince myself not to just up and quit my job.
It's almost 5 AM and I'm still awake because I was too invested in reading stuff on the internet to go to bed.
Why do I do this to myself?
I thought of calling in today because my dog looked sad. I kinda wish I did.

The Miata has Konig Dial-Ins on it. There's nothing wrong with them, no damage, they aren't hideous, I just don't love them. I purchased them because they were on sale and available in 15x9s. But those new Countergrams from Konig, ooooh. I definitely have feelings for those. But I can't justify buying new wheels to replace ones that aren't even 2 years old simply because they look better.

I'm kind of in exactly the same situation.
Konig Dial-ins look better than Avanti Storms in pictures. In reality, the opposite is true.

As an owner of both, yes. The Dial-Ins aren't ugly, but they just look weak. They were a compromise at the time: I really wanted the Dekagrams (they were more expensive) or the Freeforms (they didn't have 15" sizes at the time). Its hard to get a photo angle of them where they look good, I've noticed. The good thing is, I got them in black, so you can't really see them at all most of the time. Those Countergrams in the silver spokes with polished lip are sweet though.
All hail Advanti Storm S2

Ron White, talking about strippers, said something like, "Ya know, once you've seen one pair of boobs,....you wanna see them all."
Truth.
I am a young man stuck in an an old body that's slowly falling apart.
Can't decide which of these bad ideas I like better:
1. VW chassis pan, Cobra body, some kind of V6 stuffed in the back.
2. Model T or A or '32 Ford chassis, Cobra body, flathead V8 in the front.
Before you ask, yes, I *do* have a lot of random model car parts in the stash that I can't decide what to do with.

I firmly believe that every man feels like he is 17 forever.
That is why hair loss treatments and boner pills are such huge moneymakers - that's generally the first indication for a man that 17 was thirty years ago, and the realization hits like a ton of bricks made out of existential dread and denial.
I just purchased two more bicycles I didn't need because I didn't want them too get scrapped. For all I know there 80s clones and worthless but I couldn't stop myself

I've been out of work due to doctors orders since may. I'm really berkeleyin bored, because no lift, no carry, no fun. I would be tempted to violate those orders and go back to work in light capacriy- except for one thing. One of the...senior staff likes to smoke the worst berkeleyin cigs on earth and smells like a dumpster fire all the time. I don't wanna smell him.
In reply to Mndsm :
I was out a few years ago on a no lift, no carry and no push/ pull order. Company would not let me come back to work until I had been fully released because it was not a work related incident. I had just bought new golf clubs, lived on a small lake, had tons of free time, but I unable to enjoy sny of it because of dr's orders. It was a long and boring couple of months. I feel for you.
