I have no idea what it has morphed into as I never read it. :/
I got you one.
That's a testament to my amateurism, plain and simple. This week, I’ve been wrestling with larger prints—a whole new kind of madness. The bigger...

I picked one up about six months ago—quiet deal, no fanfare. Little old lady special, only driven on Sundays, all the usual fairy tales. Paid next...
I mean… is the ’61 bubble top the pinnacle of Chevrolet design? I’m thinking it just might be. Hell, I can’t conjure a better designed bowtie....
Hey man, you need to chill the fuck out.
Thankfully, I don't remember ever forgetting a damned thing.
Jesus... that was only 4 years ago and I don't remember it at all. So many features... So many cars... leaving nothing but fumes and brain mush in...

I’ve never hired anyone to run a booth at a car show. If I’m selling something, I figure it’s my job to stand there and bark like a sideshow...
