If you’re buying a five-ish year old car, my advice is to just preemptively replace the key fob batteries immediately and save yourself some pain later when they fail at an annoying moment. (Also, congrats on winning the depreciation game.)

Nothing makes you appreciate how fast modern jet travel is like flying somewhere and driving back. It was a quick 1:15 hop to Idaho and a long 10 hour drive home.

Good morning. You find me in scenic Idaho Falls, ID. I stayed in the “Tru by Hilton” which was fine, although it’s kind of like if McDonalds had diversified into hotels.

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Took this about six years ago at a local garage. Seeing it now, I wonder just how much this tattered piece of VW history might be worth? Bet it’s a fascinating browse.

We just upgraded our internet service speed and it is costing us less money per month. If you haven’t looked at your service provider’s offerings for a few years you might want to look into it. Same with cell phone plans. Not everything gets more expensive with time.

Somebody on BAT is selling a Testarossa that's running 17 year old tires. (And horrific chrome wheels, but that's another issue.) If you can't afford to keep up with tires, maybe don't own a Ferrari.

Love this.
Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...
