  - You might even call it "compact." -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 11:40 1
    - It is now -- nm - oblique Nov 17, 11:41
  - Not at all. The hand-me-down car my Mom gave me is a 2006 Nissan Altima, and it is a beast of a car. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 17, 11:40 2
    - I'll tell you what though, that's a hell of a crash cage. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 11:41 1

Also, anybody have a new abs module for a 2010 Honda Accord laying around somewhere? -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 17, 10:53 8
- Tell the accord there are no shortcuts and to do more core work. -- nm - pmb Nov 17, 11:23 1
  - This -- nm - Strongbad Nov 17, 11:55
- $180 EBay -- (link) - budice Nov 17, 11:08

the GOP, dead and buried: -- (link) - Jovian Nov 17, 10:26 6
- "Dead and buried" is unlikely. It's what should happen as a consequence of this, yes, but nothing in politics is fair or sensible. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 10:28 5
  - No Im saying as a party, they are dead and buried. I would never ever vote Republican again. They are a disease. -- nm - Jovian Nov 17, 10:39 4
    - When was the last time you voted for one? -- nm - Strongbad Nov 17, 11:56 2

    - it's... dead center of the land, but yeah, you're to the coast or a town pretty fast. -- nm - colin Nov 17, 10:02 2
      - except when your on foot, at night, in the middle of a snow storm and zombies are chasing you. Then that 42 acres is going to seem to go on *forever* -- nm - decline Nov 17, 10:03 1

    - Also (spoils) - eag Nov 17, 09:23 12
      - yes. Spoil... - Remlik Nov 17, 09:28
      - yes, both spoil - Spawn Nov 17, 09:26 10
        
        Also at the end of the trailer (spoils) - eag Nov 17, 09:36 9
        
        It would make sense but I doubt we would see any of the finalee in the trailer. If we did, I would be disappointed. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 09:41 8
        
        Well whatever is coming through (spoils) - eag Nov 17, 09:48 7
        
        Overthinking it, maybe. Spoil. - Spawn Nov 17, 10:14 6
        
        I found it interesting that - groiny Nov 17, 10:49 5
        
        Also - eag Nov 17, 10:53 4
        
        It is all connected. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 11:10 3
        
        And that's gonna be the tricky part - eag Nov 17, 11:20 2

        Kinda missing my point (spoils) - eag Nov 17, 11:43

        Certainly there is a reason it is higher than a year ago, but perhaps a midpoint in price would be better -- nm - ty97 Nov 17, 09:24
        
        we were talking recently about late spring 2020 and how you could get *anywhere* in 15 minutes. -- nm - amanda jeans Nov 17, 09:15 1
