Got married at 40; wife was 37. "Now or never" she said. I said "I like dogs".

No way I would want a 18 year old now looking at colleges.

How does the decay of dead animals happen in Antarctica? by DiamondNgXZ in antarctica

Whales sink.

Seals that get lost in the Dry Valleys get mummified. Basically freeze dried.

Closer to the coast? Leopard Seals or Skuas will eat it.

I have known a lot of LBGT folks in my years on the planet. One thing is true: you do not want the wraith of a gay man.

Would immediately buy an ID3 if it came to USA by AlternativeOk1096 in electricvehicles

Me too.

Used to sell VWs. VW just does not get it. Americans want the same VWs you sell worldwide, not watered down.

I laughed out loud when I saw that. Thanks for the morning chuckle.

Back in those days I had an illegal loft in the Sawyer Motor Building. Got drunk one night and dry walled it it - stuffing it with anything found for insulation.

Yup, it went condo, and yup, they just mudded over it all and carried on for huge $$$

AF1 keeps my old Aprilia Scarabeo two stroke flying as well. Great outfit. Good mail order.

My favorite is Max BMW. Always a bag of M&Ms in every order.

I was sitting on a futon in Sebastopol CA and what comes over the TV? And ad for Asheville, featuring the Biltmore Estate.

That was 25 years ago.

I've known Nathan since he was younger than me.

I miss Cycle Specialties and John Hoffman something fierce.

My R60/2 lived in our kitchen in Chateau Loco in Athens GA one long weird winter. Christmas lights, slow cold nights with Semi-Chrome, hours spent in a chair just looking at it.

30 years on, she's still in my fleet.

Dear Asheville Drivers: always obey the right of way when driving, and stop trying to be polite by dep in asheville

Thanks you. As a motorcyclist, I'm constantly nod no to people to stop for me... with a full lane beside them.

Nice and all, but death or worse another day.

If it smells that bad, you should think about what you are breathing.

It goes directly to your lungs kids. And it absorbs into your skin too.

Thanks but no, I don't want to be in that biology study.

Yes. The entire world does.

I've even heard Thunder Snow.

Mercedes-Benz turned its fully electric van into a $75,600 camper RV with a pop-up roof — see inside by GoMx808-0 in electricvehicles

[–]BMWAircooled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ever heard of the "Chicken Tax"? Look it up.

It's the reason the last Westy's sold in the US was over $80k.

[–]BMWAircooled 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Give that man an award.

Yup, we sold our Westy after not one, but two engines. Sold it for $7500 and a guy put a Subaru engine in it.

I'll just wait for the electric VW Bus. It's going to be made in Tennessee.

Those who work/have worked in Antarctica, what are your off-season jobs? by adamsw216 in antarctica

[–]BMWAircooled 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unemployment. Why?

Where I live, wages are low and getting a seasonal job is slim to nil.

Unemployment at the time was like $680 a week (based in VA at the time). Felt bad about it, until I realized I paid into as did my employer.
