"da pooper bowl"

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. Back to mostly bikes today. Kinda unfair fight here as that Integra is calling my name, automatic transmission be damned. (I do dig the flying brick though.) • '00 Harley Softail Fat Boy • '92 Acura Integra GS • '61 BSA C15T Star Trials • '90 BMW K75C

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. Oops! All Benzes! (Well, almost... the Honda moto snuck in there as a combo breaker, but still. Cool bike; I'd still go W123 or W124 tho. SLK has a 5-speed!) • '92 W124 300E 4MATIC • '99 SLK230 Kompressor • '74 Honda CB360G • '85 W123 300D Turbo

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. Easy to make a case for/against any of these. A8 is sharp but could be pricey to fix; Jeep is clean but RWD only; the Saab is rad but worn; E21 is up in Canada. Tough call! • '99 Audi A8 • '03 Jeep Grand Cherokee • '83 BMW E21 • '90 Saab 900 Turbo SPG

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. This one is borderline unfair -- despite not being a wagon, I still desperately want that big Buick in my driveway. • '81 BMW R100RS • '87 Porsche 924S • '98 BMW Z3 • '93 Buick Roadmaster

Nobody asked me but I think the bad Jesse should be booted. Get him outta here. Besmirching my name along with all of the other good Jesses out there, smdh

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. Closing out the week with a Benz, a Brick, a Beemer, and a Bjaguar (sorry). Probably would have to go with the Volvo here, personally -- the classics never go out of style! • '05 CLK320 • '92 Volvo 240 GL • '85 BMW K100RT • '02 Jaguar S-Type

KOKO THE GORILLA: Koko birkin bag. Practical Koko possession bag RESEARCHER: No, Koko. You can’t have a Birkin bag. KOKO: Good Birkin good Koko give beautiful Koko deserve gorilla RESEARCHER: Koko, we simply can’t afford a Birkin bag. It is an unjustifiable expense. KOKO: jealousy professor

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. The two Yamaha bikes are pretty cool, but from a sheer surviving-the-apocalypse perspective, hard to go wrong with either the Ford or the Benz here. W123 for me! • '94 Yamaha FZR1000 • '72 Ford F-100 • '78 W123 300D • '82 Yamaha XJ550 Seca

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. The bike and the five-speed Element are admittedly pretty cool, but the heart wants what it wants, and the GM two land barges here are speaking my love language. • '75 Buick LeSabre • '07 Honda Element SC • '79 Cadillac Sedan DeVille • '81 CB750K

Welp, that’s certainly one way to get me to stop playing skate. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. A mid-80s German land yacht, a 6-speed VW droptop, a 5-speed Swedish sedan, and a big American moto. Are there really any wrong answers here? (Don't answer that.) • '85 Mercedes 380SE • '08 VW Eos • '92 Saab 900 S • '02 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883

now this is comedy

“You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer.”

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. Last one this week. The Alfa and the Jag are both pretty tempting, except even in my fantasies I'm still too dumb to fix them and too broke to pay someone to fix them. Tough call. • '65 Matchless G15 • '91 Alfa 164S • '05 BMW R1200ST • '86 Jaguar XJ6

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. A diverse set of options today, but this one feels kind of like an unfair fight. Gimme that Mercury, all day. • '66 Mercury Montclair • '92 Mitsubishi Eclipse • '01 Chrysler Sebring • '84 Honda Sabre

*Trying to explain any kind of politics to an American* Imagine you’re abusing a child.

Stop trying to make scrawling on shell casings happen. It's not going to happen.

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. Didn't get raptured, so I'm celebrating by thinking about cheap cars I could have won in a perfect world. The Volvo is cool, but... I just can't quit you, Panther platform. • '84 Volvo 244 • '88 Ducati Paso 750 • '63 Corvair • '95 Grand Marquis

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. Thinking about what I might want to drive around on Earth if I don't get raptured today... I'm thinking the van might be a suitable option for the end times! • '78 Yamaha SR500 • '88 Dodge Aries • '95 Nissan Leopard • '91 Ford Econoline

Little bit of local news -- and GOOD news for a change

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. A Ducati Monster, a couple of vintage Honda motos, and a SICK Dodge police van that might override my ACAB limiter. (Kinda makes me want to rewatch Mindhunter tbh.) • '00 Monster 900S i.e. • '77 CB550F Super Sport • '84 Dodge B150 • '67 CL77 Scrambler

Today's newsletter is an interview I recently did with the great and insightful @edzitron.com about the AI bubble. Check it out here: www.readtpa.com/p/the-man-ca...

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. More cheap rides! Two Ducatis new and old, a little French hatchback, and a K-car wagon replete with wood paneling. You simply cannot go wrong! • '99 Renault Clio • '70 Ducati 450 Jupiter • '06 Ducati Monster S2R • '87 Chrysler LeBaron Town & Country

As a RI resident and a not-so-smart guy, this is a great explainer of what RI’s offshore wind project had set out to achieve, as well as the ramifications of the Trump administration shutting it down with 80% of the installation already completed. Really interesting and deeply frustrating stuff.

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. Alright look, I'm just gonna keep posting through it. Willing normalcy into existence here. Check out these inexpensive motor vehicles! (all of these seem pretty sweet imho) • '70 Honda CL350 • '95 BMW K75S • '88 Mercedes 300SE • '74 Honda CB350F

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. Three bikes and a droptop VW -- which one are you driving straight into a wall after reading bad news on Bluesky all day? (Hypothetically speaking, of course.) 😉🙃 • '99 BMW R1100R • '01 HD Sportster 1200S • '81 CB750C • '84 VW Rabbit Convertible

❤️

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. At this point I'm just posting these to temporarily pause the doomscroll. Completely fine to engage or not. :) (The strangely well-preserved Lumina might be my pick.) • '80 Suzuki GS550E • '64 Volvo Amazon • '98 Chevy Lumina • '66 CB450 Black Bomber

media: i'd like to see the left wriggle out of this one! [the shooter is revealed to be a psycho right winger like nearly all shooters] media: ah, well, nevertheless

oh well, onward and upward

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. So personally, this one is borderline unfair -- the other options are all well and good, but a Baja Bug is like a childhood dream of mine, so I know what my pick would be. • '03 Nighthawk 750 • '76 BMW R75/6 • '01 Volvo S60 • '68 Baja Beetle

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. Two bikes (a Beemer and a Honda), plus two cars from Honda Motor Co. -- both with 5-speeds! I have to admit that the CL seems mighty tempting. • '98 Acura CL • '64 Honda C200 • '02 BMW R1150R • '77 Honda Civic hatch

I'm not a historian but my analysis is it's "Not good" when a government constantly commits crimes and tells the legislature, courts, and general public "What are you gonna do about it"

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. A big touring Harley, what appears to be a solid 300E 4MATIC, an EXTREMELY 1979 Datsun, and an almost-equally 1979 Kawasaki. What sort of vibes are you going for? • '11 Electra Gilde • '91 Mercedes W124 • '79 Datsun 210 • '79 Kawasaki KZ650

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. Back to (mostly) bikes. Honda trail rider? Beemer sport tourer? Yamaha vintage vibes? Or perhaps you prefer scooting around in a budget German six-speed sport sedan? Choose wisely! • '86 CT110 • '03 R1150RS • '05 M-B C230 Kompressor • '81 Yamaha XS400

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. And now back to your regularly scheduled cheap car programming! Obligatory Honda moto, a weathered Jeep Cherokee, and a couple of extra curveballs. ;) Which one are you rocking? • '75 CB125S • '88 XJ Cherokee • '84 Chrysler E Class • '94 Mazda MX-6

Toggling back and forth between the AP livestream and this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=crPl...

when they beg me to log off

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. Everything is still bad, but we simply must keep posting. Two Honda motos, one 80's T-Bird, and a big 'ol Acura. Kinda wouldn't mind any of 'em. • '85 Thunderbird Elan • '83 CB450SC Nighthawk • '97 Acura RL Premium • '76 CB750F Super Sport

Worth a read — an invigorating shot in the arm amidst the constant onslaught of bad news, imho

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. I dunno, man. Everything is bad and getting worse all the time. Here's an inexpensive car and three inexpensive motorcycles. • '83 Honda FT500 Ascot • '88 Mercedes 190E 2.3 • '79 Honda CB750F Super Sport • '81 Kawasaki KZ1000 LTD

Lost a little brother to suicide over 20 years ago and I swear this is some of the most ghoulish shit I've ever seen

You may not like that it takes 100 years to pass some watered down social welfare program because of the constitution but that's also what protects us from dictatorship [some dumb slob does dictatorship in 6 months]

Recording madness begins 🎧🎤

Poll: Fantasy BaT Purchases, Deadbeat Edition. What a week. Fell off on posting for a bit -- the world is still a shitshow out there. As a brief respite, let's look at some cheap rides and discuss your favorite one. • '87 Cagiva Alazzurra • '58 Ford Custom 300 • '83 W123 240D • '67 Ducati Monza

JESUS, MARY, AND JOSEPH! This gave me old Google back! It killed the AI results dead!
