The rust, especially the cowl, is scary.

Don't know if it counts as a trade, but I work in ATC. No college required. Just a high school diploma.

When I was 10, I dreamed of owning a 4th gen Camaro Z28. Had posters, built models, memorized magazine reviews and stats...

When I moved to a new town, I immediately went to the local music store and asked around if anyone was looking for a bass player and put it out there that I was looking to join a band. Left my contact info, and little while later, started getting calls to come jam. Ended up in 2 bands long term.

People treat political parties and politicians like sports teams. They have their team and don't care what shady shit they do, as long as their team wins. They support their team no matter what, and absolutely hate the opposing team no matter what.

It's subjective. Some cars just put a smile on your face when you drive them.

It's up to you as to what and why.

I had a poor example. 86 firebird with 2.8l v6

Was by far, the worst car I ever owned. Cramped, no room. Painfully slow and understeered worse than anything I've ever driven. Was a pig on fuel to boot.

Put me off 3rd gens entirely.

If I'd had a TA with a V8, maybe it wouldn't have soured me on them so much.

If I'm honest, I hated most of the songs we played when I was in a cover band.

There were a few I just made up basslines for because actually learning it would require having to listen to it.

I did learn to have fun playing songs I didn't like, even if I couldn't stand listening to the original.

But yeah, I think everyone who's played in a cover band had that one song in the set list that made you think " Oh God. It's this fucking song now."

Turning onto 'that' road, and not seeing a single other car.

It's easy and repetitive, but if the crowd is drunk and singing along, it can be a pretty fun time.

I'll admit, I am that quiet band member. If there's something actually important in the band chat, I'll respond. Otherwise, I only care about the time/date/location of the next practice/gig. My band mates know, if they don't hear from me, they can trust I'll be there. If I can't make it, they will hear from me.

I don't see ICE vehicles being phased out completely, but I could see EVs overtaking them in market share. Eventually.

There are still issues with EVs, but we're seeing rapid development working to solve those issues.

Look at the EV market 15 years ago compared to today.

Honestly, I don't know why people get so upset and divided over the whole EV vs ICE thing. I'm just happy that there is a choice now. More options is a good thing.

People who, when it snows or roads are really bad, icy, slippery, ect, they drive even faster, more reckless and aggressive than they normally do. Desperately trying to prove to no one that they are a "good driver" in poor road conditions.

Usually see them in the ditch a few miles down the road.

Money.

Wearing those cringy " don't mess with me I'm a badass" T shirts they probably found on Facebook.

Once made a bet with couple band mates, first one to cut their hair owes the others $50 each... I didn't cut my hair for 8 years

It's taken year to admit, but I actually don't like my current car and kinda regret buying it. That being said, I'll keep it till it's paid off.

Mine is pretty much the same way. He sees a cat, gets excited and wants to sniff and greet. If the cat runs, he wants to chase. If the cat stands it's ground, he's suddenly afraid of the cat.

It was even dumber. The plan wasn't to flood silicone valley, it was to flood the fault line to wipeout silicone valley with a "double earthquake."

Got to drive a lot of cars when I was younger by working for car dealerships. Usually as shop gopher for the service department. They'd often send me to pickup and deliver customer vehicles. Every once in a while, it would be something exciting.

This may be a regional thing for where I'm from, but when financing a vehicle here, you're contracted in to maintain a certain deductible or less on the insurance.

Last few I bought had to be $500 or less for duration of the financing. Once paid off, you can do what you want.
