Stop trying to make "Fleets" happen
Twitter should just accept the fact that Instagram and TikTok are where people go to share joyous visual self expression, and Twitter is for malignant assholes to scream lunatic conspiracy theories
YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok is where nobodies go to become millionaires, Twitter is where millionaires go to become nobodies
Say what you want about inane YouTube "stars" and IG "influencers," but at least they are making a living out of their inanity and I can respect that.

Twitter somehow keeps every cent out of the revenue created by their users' content, and... I guess I can respect that too
Seriously though, I don't want a more free-speechy alternative to Twitter, I want an alternative to Twitter that actually shares ad revenues with content creators. Soon as somebody comes up with that, I'm out of here like shit through a goose
If Spotify can pay $100 million for exclusive rights to Joe Rogan's podcast, I'd like to believe some social media platform would pay 100 bucks for exclusive rights to Dave's Car ID Service.
Semi-serious #DavePoll: If I completely migrated Dave's Car ID Service to a different free social media platform, would you join it?
to be clear, not asking if you would quit Twitter, just whether you would sign up for another platform if it was the only place you could see or submit requests for Dave's Car ID Service.

Gotta bookmark this excuse to use the next time I accidentally crash into a liquor store
"I accidentally drove and/or helicoptered to a 3 star Michelin restaurant in Napa for my friend's crucial once-in-a-lifetime 50th birthday party while making it illegal to open your taco stand" is some next level Animal Farm
I'm tempted to compare him to a televangelist who got caught with a prostitute, but a televangelist who got caught with a prostitute can't throw you in jail for stopping sending him payments

I saved money for 20+ years so my kids would have no college loan debt. Where do I sign up for my misspent $100k
Tell you what, go ahead and cancel all the student loan debt and then send the bill for it to their colleges.
I define an elitist a-hole as somebody who demands low and middle income people pay for his college loans even when he can't even spell "elitist"

Sorry, there are literally zero unpoliticized things left
Are you kidding me? At this very moment there are at least a dozen grad students writing dissertations on the class / gender politics of old car photos. I bet there are academic conferences on it

Ladies and gentlemen start your Zingers for another installment of #DavesCarIDService
*back in the day when plastic model car kits and sniffin' glue was all the grade school rage, MPC introduced Zingers- fanciful pint sized car kits stuffed with huge blown motors just like the Ed Roth monster T shirts. For marketing, they created real life versions for car shows.
Before getting to today's IDs, a gentle reminder of my request guidelines:

Today's episode of #DavesCarIDService is brought to you by the all-new 1912 Reeves Sexto-Auto. Give your drive a happy ending with the smooth sexto-action ride of a Reeves!
Yes, it's real and spectacular, and as the ad says there was also an 8-wheeled Reeves Octo-Auto. Founded by the delightfully named Milton Othello Reeves, these were based on Overland and later Stutz cars with extra axles. At $3200-$4800 not many takers.
Without further ado, let us get to the identifying: contain yourselves ladies, for this barnyard lothario is headed to town in his chic 1934 Chevy 5 window coupe. Judging by the attire I suspect this photo is closer to 1934 than 1940.
