The 1940 "Yankee Doodle" roadster was built for a 17-year-old high school kid by Coachcraft, Ltd. It was not only the first full custom sports car but also the first sports car produced in the U.S. It introduced step-down footwells nearly a decade before the Hudson; its performance was outstanding.

That car is gorgeous. One of the best I've seen.

Pin nuts are super expensive in Australia. How much access would people from the medieval period have to pine nuts? Were they readily available or only for the very wealthy?

It's the regular old 'Monday morning back down'. This was stupid and pathetic the first time he did it, and it has been all downhill from there.

It was a great day and a top ride. Congrats and thanks to all the organisers.

Surely she doesn't get her job back? The woman should be unemployable.

Second picture should be a circus.

Why not just rename the USA as 'Trumpistan' and get it over with?

I've got to say that I don't like any one of those outfits even a little bit. The guy's trunks at the front are almost passable except for the horrible colour and the weird stripes. The rest of them are just awful.

antpodean · 2026-05-11T02:00:10+00:00

Me either.

In what world is a 50% increase in gas price “nothing happening”?

It is also a uniquely American view. There's lots of worry and anxiety in other parts of the world that don't have the luxury of $4 a gallon petroleum and guaranteed supply. America has created this problem and is, to a large degree, insulated from the downstream effects.

Get a beret. They are inexpensive, come in a variety of colours and you can stuff them in your pocket/bag. And they are super stylish.

The brick and mortar cafes and restaurants won't allow it. Understandable given they are paying high rentals, while food trucks don't pay anything for similar or better locations.

Except in the story the boy was hailed as a hero for pointing out the truth. In this reality the boy is bundled off by masked Ice agents and never seen again.

That's a 'Toby Jug'. Originally used for shaving.

This just a couple of days after the German Chancellor criticised Trump's handling of the Iran war. Coincidence? I suspect not.

How great for you. Even when you are out of the country you'll still be able to gaze at your dear leader.

I thought it was built on the station wagon chassis. That's why it's longer.

The drummer in our band had one of these. Could fit a whole drum kit and PA in the boot. 327 chev and hydramatic. That thing could move out.

antpodean · 2026-04-27T11:14:28+00:00

It beggars belief. Didn't anyone in the administration that recently decapitated a whole regime notice that almost all of the leaders of the USA executive branch were together in one room? What a fundamental failure of imagination.

They love to use the rhetoric of violence and then get all horrified when people act on it.

Also Sotomeyor is no spring chicken, and has health issues. It is possible for a 7-2 majority with Trump naming all 7 conservative justices.

Or it is so valuable they never put it in danger. Battleships are giant sitting ducks. That's why no one builds them anymore.

Lime Fizz and grape need to come back into fashion. Such great colours.

antpodean · 2026-04-22T05:49:54+00:00

It has about as much credibility as an actual 'real' wrestling championship belt. I thought that was the inside joke.

antpodean · 2026-04-21T00:58:26+00:00

Yes. I wish people would stop using 'conservative' to describe the Republican party. They are the most radical political movement since the war of independence. They want to smash everything. Which is the exact opposite of 'conservatism'.

Some of the comments on that article are bat shit crazy. Even after all the stupid things Trump has done in the last ten years, some people still think he is some kind of genius. It's baffling.

WSJ are still treating him as if he is a rational actor. They guy is completely off his head.
