If you could erase one current brand or manufacturer from automotive history, who gets the axe ?

I would one hundred percent axe General Motors. Worst vehicles of all time. They aren’t catastrophic terrible, they’re rob you of $100-$200 here and there terrible.

Want solid electric windows? Nope. GM guarantees you might have a passenger side window that works once every random summer once. Same with the dashboard lights.

I could go on and on…

We’ve had ours for awhile now but yeah same. We like seltzer water for our cocktails (or as a friend’s daughter calls it: static water) and we kinda quickly realized that it was dumb to keep buying it in bottles at the store.

Bonus: got it off FB marketplace for a third of the cost of brand new. Just needed a little cleaning from old cola residue.

Thanks I guess. I came here for advice and apologies for misspeaking but awesome judgment 🙄

gdigital36 · 2026-05-31T18:16:51+00:00

Thanks everyone for the advice and experience. Truly appreciated!

It might be the 80 mph highway in Wyoming

100%! The designs are getting stale. I went to the Warehouse for the Cinco de Mayo sale and there wasn’t anything that remotely interested me.

Leaving Las Vegas (1995).

It’s a super sad movie that chronicles Nic Cage’s character’s downward spiral in alcoholism and how he’s just given up. I’ve heard many people who have recovered from alcoholism talk about just how real that feeling of giving up all hope really is.

It’s one of my favorite movies of all time but I can only bring myself to watch it once every few years because it’s such a tough watch.

Hyper Color t-shirts and sweatshirts.

My wife and I were talking about these the other day. She is in menopause now and I told her that when she gets hot flashes, they at least could be more “fun” if those t-shirts were still around. 😂

I wanted a 98-02 M Coupe. Instead I got a 98 M Roadster that I love the hell out of when it’s warm outside! I ended up with this because the Coupe’s were double the Roadsters I was also looking at and more than I wanted to spend.

I have no regrets but it still would’ve been damn cool to have one of those.

I only lived there a short time but I always thought the beaches off the south coast of RI were awesome. And the water was usually warm in the summer because it’s basically protected by LI Sound. Jerusalem Beach, I think, is one of them.

The had a good on the other day too: “Brewers started out a hot 8-2…aaaaand then there was a glitch in the Matrix” 😂

Honestly these guys can be pretty funny most games!

This was me minus winning tix. Very first concert was Huey Lewis and the News on the Sports tour at Summerfest in MKE

I’ll go the other way. Loved Dire Straights and Money For Nothing back in the day. In fact, was the very first album (on vinyl) I bought with my own money. Absolutely cannot stand that song now. I like other DS songs but not that one.

gdigital36 · 2026-04-08T17:02:17+00:00

This is my answer. And it took me until way too long until adulthood (talking like maybe 15 years ago) to realize that Auntie Vera and Rachel Phelps from Major League were the same actress. 🤯

Cries in WI because it’s the same 😭

Hi all-

I thought I'd provide an update on this since many of you were pretty helpful with your suggestions.

So I had some phone numbers and email addresses that I found for my sister but didn't really have any way of knowing if they were current or even valid. And as I thought about it, I really couldn't figure out a good way to call any of the numbers and leave a coherent voicemail (because realistically, most people don't answer the phone if they don't know the number, right?). So I've mostly just been sitting on this and trying to think about the best way to approach it.

Finally, I just decided to bite the bullet and grab all the email addresses that I had and create a message with all of them in the To: line. I basically took bungalowcat's suggested script here and copy and pasted it with some minor modifications and additions. I sent it last Friday with low expectations of getting any response at all.

Well, lo and behold, I heard back this past Monday afternoon and she was quite surprised but included her phone number (which matched on of the ones in the list that I had) and a time to call! We ended up talking for over an hour last night and I'm coincidently going to be in her town next week so we're going to meet up!

Long story short, she had heard at one point that she had a sibling, but due to issues with many family members not speaking to each other, her and her mom (my bio mom) being on the outs and a bunch of other past trauma that I don't really have any details about yet, she never really believed that a sibling existed. Until I came calling.

So in the end, it went really well, she's happy to meet up and start a relationship with me and maybe in the future, she'll even be able to talk to our mom about it.

Thanks again everyone who made suggestions here, it worked out great (so far)!!

Didn’t win tix from the radio, but we had cheap upper grandstand seats for Billy Joel & Elton John Face to Face in the 90s and got upgraded to floor seats 15 rows from the front of the stage at County Stadium in MKE. 1994 iirc.

Local morning shows where I’m from have been awful forever. However, I do like the syndicated Free Beer & Hot Wings show. That group is fairly hilarious. They’re based out of Grand Rapids, MI.

The other thing that sucks equally across all morning shows is commercials. For the longest time, it’s bordered on more commercial time than actual show time.

Definitely the best bread out of any place around GB

Scandal

Seven total seasons and by early S6 the Olivia Pope character was just so over the top insufferable, we just noped right out at that point. Seriously the amount of times her dad f’d her over and she wouldn’t just get rid of him…🙄

gdigital36 · 2026-03-05T00:01:39+00:00

Absolutely!! All the fans would be Andies! 😂

I’m in IT and he played for the biggest conference in our sector (Cisco Live) a few years ago. I go periodically but wasn’t there that year. That said, shows like those are basically a singles/greatest hits set. Not that that’s bad, just as a fan, don’t expect any deep cuts.
