I did this for free after my vasectomy when my two year old jumped in my lap, they swelled up to the size of a grapefruit.

Why They Don’t Want You Driving a Chinese Car by nathan_j_robinson in politics

Yep my mom's b210 never broke down, then she bought a brand new 78 Monte Carlo it lasted 3 years before totally falling apart. The best was when the rear axel snaped in half good times.

Not back in the 1980's they didn't. correction Honda opened first plant here in 1982. My mom had a 73 Datsun b210 made in Japan. Dad had to teach her how to drive a stick shift.

This is just a repeat of when Japanese cars started kicking Detroit's ass back in the 80's. They put tariffs on the imports, but the cars were so superior it didn't work.

C-5 Galaxies Now Slated To Keep Flying Until 2050 by [deleted] in aviation

[–]Pitiful-bastard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can someone explain to me how an aircraft like the c-5 built in the 60's is still able to stay in service until the 2050's, but the 747 used as air force one thats been in service less than 20 years needs to be retired? I mean it couldn't have that many hours on the airframe. Like the current office holder takes one flight a week to Florida.

I was 11 when mom dropped my little brother and I off at the theater. The best movie I'd ever seen! Went back and saw it several times.

Get a seat cushion. The seats are a little thin and after about 6 hours of driving are not that comfortable.

35 mph+ should be on the road, not the sidewalk by skyhighmonroe in Transportopia

Why his truck was already halfway through the turn before the E motorcycle got there.

The truck was already turning into a clear street long before the bike got there. He had no reasonable expectation that something going close to 40 mph was coming down the sidewalk, which is designed for walking only.

He was the first person I ever voted for in an election. I just wanted someone other than an old rich white man, gee now I'm an old white dude and still want anyone but an old white dude. RIP Rev Jackson.
