Loved the days when you could crawl inside the engine compartment to work on the engine. Shit was so much easier to get to and work on then. Now you'll be lucky to get your hand in sideways. I guess the trade off for today's 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound compartment is the increased horsepower. I may need a specialist with specialized tools to work on it but damn it's a lot of fun to drive!

And 200 to 300k miles is pretty common with minimal repairs. Find me a pre 80s v8 that has more than 150k and has never been apart. And still runs good. Don’t get me wrong, I love me an old V8, but they just did not have the longevity.

Don’t get me wrong, I love me an old V8, but they just did not have the longevity. We had old farm trucks on the road that had been on the road for more than half a million miles. Par for the course for our old farm trucks. Had an old ford around town that had gone over a million. Now that one had been rebuilt. Farmer did it with the engine still in the truck!

I love baby changing tables in men's rooms. They make a great place to set your gear down and buckle back up/tuck everything back in.

I have raised ten kinds of hell over no changing stations in the men’s room. After seeing what my wife went through carrying a baby, delivering it and feeding it for a year, the least a man can do is change a shitty diaper. Many store managers have received an email about it. We get blamed for not helping out with child raising all the time, we don’t need help. Am am a little surprised with all the “equality” up here in the northwest, that the women are expected to change a dirty diaper most the time. Ok, rant over.
