@TheCleanCarClub Hard right and reverse. Going forward will tear off the right rear quarter panel.

@TheKanehB @RealDutchsinse Nextel as a brand specifically used proprietary hardware license from Motorola. No other company could generate the exact same products since they could not get access to the hardware. Today that is not the case as voice over IP applications can mimic the functionality.

@KathleenWinche3 Absolutely. Haven't owned a manual transmission car in 35 years, but no problem.

@JCFlyingDutchmn @TheCleanCarClub Sadly, not that far off from reality.

[Eric Plent @ericplent]

@Monica55dzrh Yes to both.

Life observation #162:

Some people insist on having their cell phone conversations at full volume on speakerphone in public areas, such as stores.

Why?

@Matt_Pinner Did it 4 years ago. Does that mean I get 28 million?

@EWRairport Are the wait times shown in apps like "MyTSA" for EWR considered accurate?

@DaisyDukes5599 @miles_commodore Learned to drive stick when I was about 12 in my dad's old work truck on private property. 1960s GMC box truck for the four-speed manual on the floor and heavy duty everything. Manual cars were a breeze after driving that tank.

@EmilySm43 I uninstalled that worthless piece of crap application years ago. Where's my money?

@FreckleFaceFvck I had the unfortunate luck of having to replace windshields in two of my cars fairly close together a few years ago. As I recall, I had a $100 deductible so I was out of pocket $200 total for two new windshields. Both were done in my driveway by Safelite.

Officially feeling old now. Went to the supermarket and they were playing the normal "oldie hits" type music. The particular banger they had going when I walked in? "Hysteria" by Def Leppard.

Time to go sit on the rocker in my porch and yell at the kids not to touch my grass.

[Eric Plent @ericplent]

Question for anyone traveling lately: are the wait times shown in the "MyTSA" anywhere near accurate?

@mariana057 Haha... we see what you did their ....

[Eric Plent @ericplent]

@alt_w_v_g While not as detailed as this, I did something similar years ago. Researched and found the dealer invoice pricing for the car I was ordering online and had it in my pocket for when we got to the price negotiations. Once they knew I had it, got the car for $500 over invoice.

[Eric Plent @ericplent]

@the7maxims Absolutely. Even in my 20's (admittedly a long time ago), you could find a really decent used car for a few thousand. Definitely not the case over the past 5 years or more.

@status_is_down Nope. No issues in NJ.
