The definition of either insanity or stupidity (you pick): doing the same thing over and over and over and expecting different results. -
Pursue a lovely young woman today like was the norm when I was in the market quite some years back, and you'll likely find yourself accused of stalking, at best, or have your photo posted all over the internet as a creep or worse, at worst.

"MILLENNIUM FALCON" is, alas, too long to fit on a vanity license plate.

Longer engines, like inline sixes and eights, are difficult to package in a hot rod and have the result be well proportioned.

What Did You Have for Dinner?

Grandma was delicious, and preparing and cooking her here at home spared her the indignity of being processed into Soylent Green, plus we kept all that nutrition in the family. I think this may be the wave of the future, having the deceased as the main course of the wake feast. -
Word spelled backwards is not a word either, unless "drow me a picture" counts.

Fieri was a small mid-engined car that GM killed just when it was getting good...or was that Fiero?

Sure, I can get it for you wholesale, but you'll have to pay me double up front and I'll refund the difference after you get it.

You're not supposed to think about that, and if you do, don't mention it. But the solution is simple Just buy twice as many as you need so half can be charging all the time. -

The simple answer is that one or more topcoat wasn't compatible with something under it, possibly even the primer. I've had similar reactions when mixing products from different sources, sometimes immediately, sometimes much later on. One reaction like this happened weeks after spraying Tamiya black lacquer over hardware store black "lacquer" (labeled as such) to get a blacker black (all of it over Duplicolor primer, which should be fine under just about anything). Tamiya lacquer should be fine over another lacquer, right? So I assumed. Wrong. And after stripping it, I had to redo all the extensive bodywork. Staying within one product line if possible is pretty good insurance against surprises like this.
