Comment on Requiem for a machine by Bill

That just sucks.

I owned a brand spanking 1986 Saab 900S while I was stationed in Germany. After I drove it a while, I felt like it was truly the best damn car on the road. It had better seats than the 318 BMW, and they were heated. 60% of the weight was over the front axle, so I could go down the autobahn in heavy snow past every other car including Volvos with impunity. And, it looked like no other car on the road. The rear seats and rear deck folded down and came off, so you could carry anything in the back. The hood popped forward and rotated like a Corvette, so you could get to everything on the motor.

Once in the heavy snow, my then wife was driving another woman to her doctor. Her baby was coming. She spun the car on an exit ramp, hit a highway divider really hard, ran over some curbs, and came to a stop. She calmed down, and then continued to drive. The damage: one slightly bent aluminum tire rim.

I have great memories of my time in Europe, and my black 5 speed SAAB was in every one.

Very interesting!

In Star Wars, some of the laser rifles looked like redone Sterlings, and there were a few instances of others resembling the MG 42 or more recent MG3.

My company, Armored Planet, had designed and used to maintain the website of Harvey Jett, the original guitarist from BOA. He is now a born again Christian, and sells used cars in KY. He was selling CDs of his Christian music.

It seems to me that Kim is the only guy in North Korea that gets good medical care and enough to eat… He’s going to last too long…

I called the Seal take down of the pirates accurately, so let’s see….Kim Jong Il will croak, or pass power to an underling, Kim Jong Un. Shortly after that, a new power broker will emerge, and talks will begin.

or not
