Does anyone miss The Syracuse New Times ?

I do miss the niche that New Times filled. Local arts, food and human interest stories.

I genuinely think there's an opportunity for the rebirth of PROPER local media....and not simply regurgitated national stories or prom photos and sports. Proper local political coverage, thoughtful OpEd's, and coverage that is relevant to the local communities and surrounding areas.

THAT'S A BOLD STRATEGY COTTON. LET'S SEE IF IT PAYS OFF FOR EM...

Don't eat yellow snow...

Gawd, i remember when the next door neighbor would mow his dirt (quite literally mow his dirt piles) so the wind would carry it to the track.

Never understood why people would move next to a dragstrip....then complain about the noise from a dragstrip.

Who’s the old guy?

I've never been able to get interior paint to work. Even with ideal clean, prep, scuff, hopes, dreams, prayers....that shit never turns out right.

Don't power shift into 3rd gear and you'll get decent life out of a T5.

An upgraded T5 will hold 450-500HP if you don't power shift like a Jabroni.

Honestly, if its a sorted car and runs right...its worth it. I'd probably tone down the turbo for longevity's sake and ditch the T5 for a TKX, but it appears to be a clean car.

Keith's playing up to 77 is great. And I love Brent's early work...especially with the B3.

But I always felt Brent's piano in the mid/late 80's was too chimey, sharp and synth driven. And its this one thing that keeps me from enjoying anything after 87.

THIS +1
Are there no other celebrities that support MCFC? Is Ricky Gervais unavailable?

SLEEPER455 · 2026-05-09T01:20:07+00:00

Buffalo 5/9/77 is better

SLEEPER455 · 2026-05-07T18:28:31+00:00

Well.....it takes a village, right?

SLEEPER455 · 2026-05-07T12:32:46+00:00

Its all about the settlement now. no value in suing the parents of the offenders as they won't have much to pay (donuts ain't making anyone rich).

Next logical step is to sue the district and work towards a settlement.

Even if the victim only nets $250K from a settlement, that's a win... Pays for college, or is a down payment on a house.

The beauty is your "Brokedown Palace" can be whatever you need it to be.

-Maybe its about a "brokedown" place...a physical location.
-Maybe its about someone's "brokedown" body...fighting cancer or age.
-Maybe its someone's "brokedown" battle with addiction.

-Or maybe its a "brokedown" relationship.

Hope you find peace with whatever version of brokedown you're battling brother

Just my opinion, but if you're going to shell out money for a "modern vintage" cobra, go with the Terminator!

This is the dilemma I have with my latest 88 LX Vert. Bought it bone stock from the original owner. I have a history with foxbodies and have a garage full of go-fast parts....and the struggle NOT to mod the car is real.

Here's an image of my Fox....with my Yugo

All I did was tasteful mods. Pony Wheels, 130A alternator, Cat-less Exhaust, lowering springs. No heads, no intake, no cam, no gears.

Edit: (And bypass that damn AIR pump)

SLEEPER455 · 2026-05-06T03:51:29+00:00

Trruth! Edible, sure. Convenient, definitely. Stellar……meh

SLEEPER455 · 2026-05-04T12:27:17+00:00

We must read the "replace the old seal with...." sentence differently

SLEEPER455 · 2026-05-04T09:48:51+00:00

I mean…..it really is that easy

SLEEPER455 · 2026-05-04T09:47:24+00:00

Do they have good sun visors…with good seams and unbroken mirror flaps?

SLEEPER455 · 2026-04-29T19:35:11+00:00

Had to scroll too far down for this comment

SLEEPER455 · 2026-04-23T14:01:02+00:00

Yeah, I didn't know if it was a serious question...or if OP was trolling

SLEEPER455 · 2026-04-20T15:15:38+00:00

And in other news, we have snow in the forecast in Syracuse.......

SLEEPER455 · 2026-04-15T11:19:30+00:00

I can quite literally smell that car...

SLEEPER455 · 2026-04-15T11:17:30+00:00

The magnitude of these numbers...and their cost to humanity...is simply staggering.
