re: First automobile for new driver

whats a good starter vehicle for a 16 yr old boy?
I set a price point for a used car, then found the most airbags I could get at that price point. Also factored in mpg and reliability. But I had a daughter. If I had had a son, I probably would have flipped him a key to my then 10-year-old Nissan pickup and told him I would still take it anytime I wanted to.

re: Anyone NOT driven a car over 100 mph?

I got my '78 Toyota pickup up to 85mph once, going down a mountain, tailgate down, windows rolled up, radio off...
How many have covered 100 miles or more in an hour in a car?

Chicken
Tuna
Egg
But I would put turkey salad above chicken salad. My wife makes turkey noodle soup and turkey salad with leftover Thanksgiving turkey -- best part.

The Poles sent the Bolsheviks back to Moscow about 100 years ago in a little remembered war.

Us "rude northern jerks" will almost always pull over to the side if it' s an ambo for fire or cop car. You never know when it will be you needing a quick ride with your chest pains to the ER. It take a few seconds and then you go back on the road, why would anyone not do this? Even in rude NY we do this.
In my travels, it looked like most people pulled over wherever I was.
Never been to NYC, unless you count airports, but I haven't found folks upstate to be rude at all.

Poor guy. Didn't look like he was antagonizing or getting too close to the animal, but that was one pissed off buffalo.

Just looked that up. Looks legit. Think I’ll head over there this week.
The Po Boy Shop in Decatur is one of our favorite places in Atlanta. My boss, a New Orleans native swears by it. They have a few tables upstairs, but downstairs is a big, nice bar. Go downstairs.
It's often easier to park around back and come in via the bar. You have to come in from another street to do that. The parking lot up top is often packed because Community Q is also in that strip, and it's good too.

Because they have made their spaces so trashy that they want to escape them, instead of making them less trashy.

I sometimes toss in a couple of eggs. They soak up a bit of the flavor as the become hard-boiled.

We have both Sam's and Costco, but go to Sam's far more often because of the Scan and Go app. I also have the Sam's MC and get a significant amount back. For instance, you get 5% off on gas alone.
In addition to the many items already mentioned, we get milk, bread, butter, baking supplies, sandwich meat, cheese, paper products, cleaning supplies, and some snacks from there.
Costco does have some items that I consider better quality (and a bit more expensive), but Sam's is not far off the mark and getting in and out is more convenient.
I probably pay for the membership is gas savings alone.

That's an interesting idea. I doubt I would buy those, but I might crush some pork rinds and add them to a cornbread batter and see what happens.

Do you guys use bugs that sink or float?
I just tie on a small hook and put the cricket on that. It floats for a while and if nothing hits it, will eventually sink. I've gotten strikes both ways, but I like it best when they strike it on top for the visual.
re: Truck bed cover
Posted by SpotCheckBilly on 7/9/26 at 10:03 am to mikeytig
I have a roll-up tonneau cover on my Tundra with velcro sides. Leakage is minimal and most of the time I make no allowances for it. I will, sometimes put something in a trash bag if necessary. It's 20 years old now and needs replacing, but it has served me well and probably paid for itself in gas savings for my thirsty Tundra.
