Yeah this is the first gen Boxster.

They are nice to drive, handle great, and are even decent to work on, if you have a lift to get underneath, since that’s where most of the service items are accessed.

The problem is that they had an un-oiled bearing supporting an intermediate counter shaft that can(will) fail and often kills the motor (also a problem on the IMS bearing of similar aged 911s). If it’s had the bearing replaced, and especially if it’s been upgraded with a solution to oil it, it’s usually a great deal too.

He’s playing like the charges are too complex for his voters. He may have also been trying to suggest they are just inane technicalities that we shouldn’t worry about.

It’sa fucking act, he knows what he did, he was sure he’d get away with it, and now he’s trying to get out of it. He’ll say anything but the truth.

They got that far because they were treated very differently than the BLM protesters the summer before.

Either one would have to leave Florida if they want to run with him.

But I don’t see that rule stopping them since the rest of the rules like emoluments, classified documents, or insurrection got ignored. If either one does leave, it could be a neat win for FL though.

Isn’t that a gas station in PA?

Or is it the magic loophole that the Amish use to hold smart phones?

It says a lot about a shitty electoral system. It says a little about a rotten society, but only a lot about 47% of voters in an election that can ignore the National popular vote.

Please reserve judgment for the red states who elected that criminal.

Nobody who cares about the election actually thinks this do they?

Like the polls that say 75% of voters won’t change their vote based on his conviction, how many of them say they won’t because they’re already never going to vote for trump? I certainly am not going to change my vote against the convicted criminal Donald Trump.

Or the classified documents, or the ~~emoluments~~ straight up bribes.

Or that the world would be hurt even if all of them fail before reaching their targets, or even failing in the silos (best case).

We have enough cancerous shit in our environment as it is.

The roof line would have generated a lot of lift, so I suspect the wing helps (be high enough speeds). Aerodynamically it should be pretty efficient since the underside of the wing is unobstructed, but the OG wings were metal, so you were mostly just carrying around a weight penalty on your trunk.

I live near a little air strip too.

I’d rather have Jet-A particles than the 100LL Avegas exhaust coming down around my house.

The worst part is that our town elementary school is under the turn to land for the most common prevailing wind. The kids love seeing planes nice and low, and I do still too, but I can’t help wondering what the school playground’s lead levels are like.

It’s a system of giant novelty checks and balancing said checking account.
