Lol….Alabama??!! Noooooooooo. I’m in Indiana.

Just as I thought. They told me my monthly payment would be over 700 a month. Lol....what a crazy world. That's almost my mortgage payment. Plus they told me I was upside down on my trade in, which is ridiculous. I was never a fan of that particular dealership I visited anyway. Keep dreaming, Goat.....keep dreaming.

Not sure if I can handle the monthly payment but they're currently offering 10% off MSRP on the 2023 Gladiators, as well as whatever local dealer discounts are being applied. I've read articles where people are saving almost $17K. I might actually go test drive one in the next few days but like I said, I still may not be able to handle a steeper monthly payment.

I favorite cars.

How dare you.

Super Bueno!

This thread felt incomplete without it.

Yeah, they're badass. But crazy expensive. If I'm throwing down that much, I'd rather just get a refurbished vintage or a Mercedes G-Class (G-Wagon).

The more recent rumor news I'm hearing is Lando is going to be a movie, not a TV series. This is welcome news to me, if true. Any and all SW works so much better to me on film.

As I get a bit older and my financial responsibilities for my kids shrink every year, I'm starting to shop around for a 'fun' car. Thanks to my dad, I've become a Mustang guy. He partially restored a '67 convertible before selling it. I'm looking to get a GT around 2005 to 2014. I liked that body style better than the more current, sleeker style. But I've also been looking at getting a mid-90's Bronco or a late 90's, early 2000's Classic Jeep Cherokee. There are so many good deals on all these cars in IN, OH, IL. I just need to pay off my current car first.

AhhahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

A couple I'd like to revisit that I haven't seen since I was a kid to see if they hold up at all: Ruskies Cloak and Dagger My Science Project (I'm sure this one is horrible, lol) Eliminators (probably terrible) And another that I can't make up my mind if it classifies as a bad movie (to me) is Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins. I still love watching this movie.

Yep. 80. Parkinson's and dementia.

And Buffett's novel, 'Where is Joe Merchant' is a great adventure/detective escapist yarn. I've read it several times and I cannot believe it was never made into a film.

The "Dream Weaver" singer guy died as well.

The dude is smart! Good on him! If the stories are true, he started off homeless when moving down to Florida and started playing in local bars. He has a lot of cheesy work and his later collaborations with shitty country stars are equally as bad. His early work is genuinely very moving and well written stuff with great arrangements. It may rub people the wrong way to turn your art into a billion dollar empire but so what. That just speaks to the power of his songs and his lifestyle.

Listening to Phish makes you a terrible parent. We've all known this for years now.

I don't mind either of them. Phish-heads take that crown. Or Kiss Army. Or Juggalos.

Soooooo.......fuck him?

A dusty Hustler mag circa 1998 is just so much more satisfying.

I had thought Buffett to be just a bit older. Dude's been around FOREVER.

I wouldn't say that. You seem to be quite useful and competent at telling us how shitty you are! I know, I know.....I should be posting these uplifting messages in the 'Say Something Good' thread.

On the contrary, the surface level aesthetics and soul and magic being stripped is why I couldn’t get in to the old EU. That’s why I found Zerimar so entertaining. Sure he may have been right about what was coming up to be a lot of very mediocre stuff but then he’d declare the old EU is was not being the exact same thing.

Crossing the streams is bad.

Maple syrup that tastes like urine or urine that tastes like maple syrup?
