yeah well me too, but somehow I haven't gotten any offers of board seats from murky Chinese investment companies
Dear media: the scandal isn't how Hunter Biden spent his money, the scandal is how he got his money
Mark my words, Hunter B will get a 7 figure advance a ghostwritten book about his struggles with addiction, go on a weepy hand-holding talk show promo tour, and won't face a single question about how tf he got hired by Ukraine and Chinese companies
Cripes, I guess I need to keep up. Thanx for the $2 mil, Simon & Shuster!

C'mon, she's no villain, she's a femme fatale
I don't care how many people she murdered, she has far too high a va-va-va-voom factor to be labeled a "villain"
if the difference between "crazy" and "eccentric" is money, then the difference between "villain" and "femme fatale" is looks

What's left of a 1959 Chrysler Windsor. Old junk cars were once deliberately put on beaches and river beds as a means of erosion control. (ht @AndreaBitely)

#DavesCarIDService

Not bullshitting but not gonna lie, it took a bit of cross referencing to ID this one. Happy to explain the deductive logic if anyone is curious.

Clue 1: transmission appeared to be an early Mopar TorqueFlite.
Clue 2: block head bolt pattern matches Mopar B motor
Clue 3: forward chassis & body mounts match 1957-59 Mopar (pic A)
Confirmation: 59 Windsor unique match to bumper (pic B)

Q.E.D.

Today's episode of #DavesCarIDService is brought to you by the all new 1960 Chevy Corvair - official car of the Easter Bunny!

apologies to anyone who may have contracted the heebie-jeebies from viewing that clip, and for those of you who are new to Dave's Car ID Service, I thank you in advance for respecting the guidelines: Image
All right, let's kick off the vehicular Easter egg hunt with this neat story & photo. Solid ID is a bit hindered by the grille blanket but I think it's a 1923 Buick Series 23 sedan. The steel disk wheels give me a lingering pang of doubt, tho.

Don't know if that's good career advice, but I think we can all agree that whatever passes as opinion writing (left or right) is now so interchangeably conformist and boilerplate it might as well have been churned out by 3 algorithms

with a handful of exceptions, I can barely name any journo who is saying anything remotely interesting, or memorable, or who couldn't be replaced by 100 twitter randos without anybody noticing
I kinda have a 4-part writer test:

1. do they write about interesting topics nobody else is covering?

2. do they write in a unique, entertaining, or surprising style?

3. do they seem to know what they're talking about?

4. am I learning anything from reading them?

Happy Birthday Eric Clapton
Say what you want about Clapton, but the man has some bitchin' hot rods
Other noteworthy guitarist hot rod & custom collections: Billy Gibbons (I omitted the ZZ Top Eliminator because everybody knows that one)
