If you're a Mercedes fan, my buddy Sergio Garibay's '32 Ford Tudor should be enough to give you a heart attack
hint: look at the wheels
"For a Mercedes-Benz 300SL, having Rudge wheels can increase the value of that car anywhere from $30,000 to $50,000"

and that article is from 2006... I suspect they are now worth $15k to $25k per wheel when on a 300SL

I wrote this article several years ago for Garage Magazine about the history of Turbonique, the craziest speed equipment company ever. I once got to drive the Tobacco King, the only street car ever equipped with a Turbonique rocket-powered Drag Axle

Take it from ol' Dave: chicks will start paying attention if you give 'em a little peekaboo unbuttoned shirt action, especially the bottom buttons

Sonics, "Louie Louie" > original by Richard Berry. Both are classics in their own right, but the Sonics version is definitive and arguably the first headbanger record ever made
Richard Berry's original is a fine mid-tempo R&B shuffle...
...rediscovered by Tacoma WA band Rockin' Robin Roberts & the Wailers a few years later...

This is why you can't trust Wikipedia. Sure, I'm dead, but obviously my poetry is not "humorously bad"
my ghostly apparition remains floating in this mortal coil only to haunt the critics of my poetry
Someday, my doggerel will be universally proclaimed the finest works of art ever produced by a human being. Until then, I will remain in your timeline, eerily rattling my chains and dropping fart jokes

*THREAD* for the first time in ~10 months I read my sister’s story, in her words, of what happened in Las Vegas 10/1/17. I still can’t read it without breaking down but this election is too important to not share her experience. @shannonrwatts @MomsDemand @Everytown 1/
@Jason_Aldean they were so thrilled to see you that night. 2/
Like everyone there, they didn’t know if they’d live or die. 3/

It was investigated...did not happen.

Ford is exposed as a liar:
- Coached friend in beating a polygraph. Claimed in testimony not to have done this. There is corroboration for this LIE through the written testimony under penalty of perjury from a former boyfriend.

- Ford claimed to have extreme fear of flying and of confined spaces. There is corroboration for this LIE through the written testimony under penalty of perjury from former boyfriend: she flew regularly, incl. single prop planes, lived in a 500 SQFT home w/1 door...

...they DELAYED hearing by a week due to this claimed fear of flying...so that #Ford could drive cross country. While this seemed incredible, no one questioned it. In her testimony, she confirmed that SHE FLEW to DC for the hearing, SHE FLEW multiple times in July/August...

'Enough, or too much...'

This is too good not to read. And retweet. ~ O

'Christine Ford, the brave new hero to feminists, expects America to believe she needed a second front door for her Palo Alto home because, more than three decades after Judge Brett Kavanaugh allegedly tried to rape her, she was still feeling “claustrophobic.”
'Although, as she said, the two front doors are not, alas, “aesthetically pleasing,” at least the professor felt as safe as any snowflake college student with her coloring books and Play-Doh.'

Jimin wouldn’t allow himself to be trapped on his shift for any longer than necessary.

“Go, go,” Taehyung hurried, taking Jimin’s apron to let him slip out from behind the counter more quickly. Jimin decided he could get the grounds out from under his nails at home.
This morning had been absolute hell. Two girls ordered seven drinks, Jimin made them all only for them to say they were supposed to be with almond milk.

‘Oh I’m so sorry,’ was he all he had legally been allowed to say at the time, while his mind had far more colorful ideas.
With Jimin officially clocked out, he slumped on the customer side of the now empty service counter, looking to his friend with tired eyes.

“You wanna grab dinner later?”
“I can’t, remem—?
“Ah, right...”

Jimin’s disappointment vanished as Taehyung suddenly smiled to himself.

I recently came across @patrickc's collection of life advice he wished he could give himself before the age of 20. It inspired me to revisit a similar piece I wrote back in 2012. So here's my "updated" advice for those of you that are around 20—30. (I am about to turn 39.)
2/ When you’re young, you'll find that older people around you are resistant to new ideas that you naturally embrace. This is normal. It can have the impact of making you feel exceptionally open-minded, but you're not. You're just young.
3/ here's the thing- as you age, you'll naturally become more rigid and more beholden to the perspectives you’ve already formed. Your tolerance for risk will decrease over time. You won't notice this happening. It will be automatic and seem like you're "just changing your mind."

(1) I didn't plan on covering the UK's Royal Wedding but the latest antics of Megan Markle's mentally ill siblings have forced my hand.

Living in a country that has QEII as Head of State, I've been a "royal watcher" since my childhood in the 1970s. I thought I had seen it all.
(2) The Markle-Grant family make the Middletons look super classy.

Thomas Markle Sr, 73, married Roslyn Grant in the 1960s & had a son, Thomas Markle Jr & daughter Samantha Grant (now 53).

Then he remarried Doria Ragland. Meghan was born in August 1981.
(3) Thomas Markle Sr still owns a home in LA but now lives just across the border, in Mexico, presumably because his living costs there are lower. He declared bankruptcy in June 2017.

Roslyn Grant lives in ABQ, New Mexico.

Doria Ragland lives in LA.
