I genuinely want to know how the back story on the car I just saw that had "suck my dick!!!" scratched into the driver's side door just below the window in 4" letters. Of note, there was commitment to that scratching because those letters were gone over multiple times.

I had the fortune to meet Jim Lovell on a few occasions. He was a kind human, a loving family man and an amazing astronaut. He was an inspiration to a young naval aviator.
