"Greed is good", the mantra from the movie Wall Street, is often mistaken to be the idea behind Atlas Shrugged as well...and it ain't.

Ain't necessarily so.

"So" - a needle pulling thread...

[JollySipper]

Thread without a needle is kinda 'pointless'..........

[1972coronet]

"Pointless" is how Charles Kettering described hand cranks for starting an engine

Engine design is being increasingly done by people who shouldn't be designing cardboard bird houses, and "wet timing belts" that run in a bath of hot, solvent engine oil that tends to dissolve them, and then clog oil pickups with rubber particles (leading to catastrophic engine failure) are all the proof anyone needs of monkey-see-monkey-do incompetence on a global scale.

[Tim W. SoCal]

scale of incompetence in engine design coupled with the American consumer being completely ignorant and unwilling to have proper maintenance performed per the maintenance schedule is what led me to have a BUNCH of cars with destroyed interference engines due to timing belt failures abandoned at my shop

[Ace-Garageguy]

Shop prices for replacing engine timing belts at the required interval often exceed the value of older vehicles, which is why lowballers drive perfectly good vehicles to engine destruction, and they end up as scrap (at which point the lowballer has to pay way more for another car to destroy than it would have cost to keep the first one running indefinitely); PT Cruisers and Neons are among the kinda cool cars disappearing due to this.

Tornados artery scary storms, my son is 20 and calls them monsters..

[NOBLNG]

Monsters under the bed are a common childhood nemesis.

[thatz4u]

nemesis is another Star Trek movie

[Tim W. SoCal]

movie theaters of the Drive-In variety used to be a fun place to see a movie, especially from back row in the back seat of your car with your "significant other", but now are almost as extinct as the dinosaurs

[Ace-Garageguy]

Dinosaurs like me will all be extinct in not that much longer, so all the little fellas who can't do anything without an app can fix everything that they perceive to be wrong with civilization soon enough.

enough of the funny business, it's time to get to work on the '32 Tudor Sedan build!

[slusher]

Build, I need too get busy on my super Bee ?..

[Ace-Garageguy]

Bee stings aren't on my list of favorite things.

'Things' is a song from the 'Too High To Die' album by the Meat Puppets........

(Bill could have a field day with that one....)

[Ace-Garageguy]

Puppets abound, because when one has no use for independent reasoning, dancing to the whims of the string-pullers is the result.

Result may vary!

[Ace-Garageguy]

"Vary" sounds like "very".

[JollySipper]

Very much so!

So much for Susie Sullivan sewing seaweed sashes for the synchronized swimming team since seaweed is scarce in the Sierra desert.
