Safety third!
Safety third!
To be fair, you did say “no one”. Cheer up grumpy-pants!
no one says hydrogen bomb referring to conventional arms.
Bold claim, considering you’re posting in a thread where the article does exactly that. 🤣
I hope the $20 doesn’t set you back too much! I think you’re gonna really like it though. I already have about 77 hours of playtime, and most of that was before the recent ship-customization updates. I know early-access is a contentious subject, but the developers have been pretty steady with updates.
I’m also a big fan of sailing games. Have you tried Sailwind?
If you’re in fear of 83 million Americans, or about 25% of the population, you should seek therapy.
While your there, I hope you reflect on Marx’s quote, “Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.”
Sounds like you live in fear of gun owners 😝
Last year’s estimate was around 83 million owners. Join us.
That boogie-board enthusiast, who happened to be born in 1988, is going to be pretty pissed if they try changing their license plate.
Yeah, unfortunately I don’t know anything about the source individual. I just read this quote in a book recently (The 4-Hour Work Week). There seemed to be 1-2 great quotes in each chapter and I wrote a few of them down.

Fair, but I think I highlighted my other abuses. Salt isn’t the only enemy, sometimes it’s myself.
Neat, i’m glad we agree. Early 90’s is still very early in perspective to this audience. I’m driving a '92 and that’s 32 years old now. The cars from that decade last much longer than the 100k quoted above. Also, this is beyond 2.5X the average quoted in the OP article. Clearly, these are “old” cars. In sum, the 100k-till-rust-apart claim isn’t anchored in reality.
I think you’re conflating American-made and American-branded. Most of the Honda, Toyota, Subaru, etc. vehicles are still made in the USA and are part of the majority market share you mention. These cars lasted 200k easily, and usually past the 300k mark.
Hell yeah! I love the Geos. My exes dad had a Geo Metro and that was a trip to take on the highway. I heard the drivetrain was easily swappable with a Suzuki Samari for an all-wheel drive conversion too.
Hard disagree. Rust is a consequence of the material, not of the vehicle’s vintage. Furthermore, older cars are not only simpler and easier to work on, but also, parts are cheaper. If any 1990s Honda isn’t making it to at least 200k miles, its an anomaly.
I live in a 7a USDA Plant Hardiness Zone, so it gets down to around 0°F and salt is definitely used in the winter. However, if I drove a different car, then it would be the one to get the additional wear and tear. Seems more cost effective to limit the exposure to one vehicle.
Also, I’m not one to baby my belongings. I mentioned the car is blue from the factory, but it’s currently rocking a used red front bumper cover and hood after a front-end collision. In another example of my vehicular abuse, I had to replace the power steering rack after a failed attempt at a creek crossing. Water got in the original one and it started getting crunchy. Parts aren’t too expensive though, so it was fixed with a $400 remanufactured unit off eBay.
E: This Miata got pulled out of the creek the next morning after we sobered up and went out to buy a tow strap. Again AMA.
It’s a blue 1992 Mazda Miata with a hardtop. I’ve owned it for about 7 years. No mods besides basics like a bluetooth radio and a short fixed antenna (instead of the factory retracting whip antenna). Maintenance is easy and replacement parts are dirt cheap. Recently replaced the clutch master/slave cylinders for about $40 worth of parts. A set of four tires can easily be found under $400. It averages around 26.5 miles per gallon in combined city/highway driving and I got 32 on my last long distance highway trip.
I’m daily driving a 32-year old car. I have no interest in something newer. AMA.
Hell yeah! I do this everyday when I’m away from my bidet at home.
