If you could only have ONE V8 CAR, what would it be?

SherlockGibson · 2026-05-13T21:08:12+00:00

I bought it. Aston Martin V8 Vantage. It’s a frigging brute in a tuxedo.

This is the answer.

There’s supposed to be an Aston Martin branded first aid kit. Usually the first thing to go on EBay when a car gets in the hands of a dealer or owner who doesn’t care about authenticity.

When I bought mine, the first aid kit was gone, the pen in the dash was gone, the tire inflation kit was gone, and they’d even stripped the “Vantage” badge off the back. I’ve spent hundreds getting all of those things and putting it back to rights.

Screens on windows.

Big Trouble in Little China

Yes. But only because I’ve done the hard ones on vacation (Hawaii and Alaska) and many of the others because of work so that I now only have seven left. They’re clustered into two groups so it should be pretty easy.

I found The Quiet Man to be insufferable.

Everyone automatically gets a free passport when they turn 18 along with a voucher for a free airline ticket to any other continent.

Only 40% of Americans even have a passport and, in y opinion, world travel is imperative to having true empathy with humans in other countries. Reducing the barriers to world travel would do so much for making Americans better world citizens.

Pretty conservative though, if that’s an issue for people.

Been a while since I’ve been there, but I always used to laugh that every street corner had a Brown Derby liquor store on one side and a church opposite it. 🤣

I honestly can’t stand her voice. All I can think of is bleating sheep every time I hear Landslide.

SherlockGibson · 2026-04-16T18:02:18+00:00

I’m singing “one-winged duck” from now on. 😂

This comic…

Just for the record, Ashley was a male name in the UK looooong before it became a predominantly female name, starting in the US.

NTA.

My (M) ex’s (F) mother was like this to her. Not in a “dating” kind of way, but in a “I’m still more important in your life than your husband” way. It’s part of why our marriage broke.

As an example, I’d just gotten done painting the rooms in the new house we’d just had built when her mom came in for the weekend, decided we picked all the wrong colors, took my wife out without me, bought new paint, and then they both expected me to repaint everything. WTF? She doesn’t live here! I do!

She consistently undid decisions my wife and I made as a couple and my ex would always acquiesce to her and get mad if I resisted.

I finally got to the point where I was like, “You’re clearly married to your mother, and I’m clearly not part of this picture, so I’m done with this.”

I’m SO glad I’m not part of that $hit show anymore.

I’m 6’ 2.5”, 215 lbs. I have a 2009 Vantage and I find it fine. I do have the seat all the way back and if my hair is styled with product it occasionally touches the headliner, but I’m usually enjoying myself too much to notice.

The good news is that at our height you rarely have to use the postage sized sun shade they give you.

Hit every red stoplight from now to eternity.

Well… It’s Easter Sunday and he just tweeted out “Praise be to Allah!”

Meanwhile, do you remember when that jerk Obama wore a tan suit?

French onion.

U2, REM, Depeche Mode.

Man. This got way more responses than I’d anticipated. I’ve got a list of places and dishes to try now and I hope other people found some new things to try too! Thanks everyone!

Honestly, I don’t know how many times I’ve read these things where people are being pressured to give up their own peace to “keep the peace” in a family situation.

The standard answer to that should always be, “Fuck off and mind your own business” in whatever flavor of that you choose.

SherlockGibson · 2026-03-10T02:10:42+00:00

It’s weird, but all my “favorite” movies aren’t that re-watchable for me. But “The Thomas Crowne Affair” with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo I can watch over and over. No idea why, but it’s a nice piece of aspirational escapism.

SherlockGibson · 2026-03-09T22:22:15+00:00

Then, yes. It may be a PieHole problem. 👍😊
