Pontiac Grand Am.

I gave it a walk around and found the back driver's side door had a broken hinge.  I've no idea how long that has been broken.  If other things weren't going as well as they are, that would have ruined my day.

Date with body shot?

string of legal successes with paychecks to go along with them.  Tho after Thursday I'll have no active clients, but will have enough buffer to comfortably pursue more.  So I'm expecting a lot of free time to enjoy those video games and books I'm expecting for Christmas.

That was my plan when my radio clock stopped working.  Now if only my income matched these intentions...

Ummm, teach the car door a new tune...
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Ha back in the day I had a grand prix and an s-10 both had bad hinges after a while.
I needed a mod to change my signature because the concept of "family friendly" eludes me.
Just noticed that a mod changed my signature. How long ago was that?

Those commercials that show a montage of downtown Detroit, with doormen in fancy suits, girls ice-skating near some big municipal sculpture of a hammer or whatever it was, all set to the uplifting music of that one Eminem song, building to some sort of crescendo... tells me that this must be incorrect.

Something else must have been wrong with your cars. GM engineers and UAW members could never have produced such a thing.
I promise not to duck.
