Dream car
Anyone that asks me about my Chevelle always seems to ask why I changed so much from the original car and this is the exact reason. If you put that kind of time and money into a car, what sense does it make to have a finished product that rides and operates with 50 year old technology. Unless... -

FYI - Screen shots will no longer work for ticket entry at games
We were in line at the north gate approximately 40 minutes to KO. Maybe took 20 minutes or so. Scanning worked great for all 4 of tix. Did find that I had to basically have my phone touching the scanner but it was quick on a Pixel. -

Wealth Shift
100% this. We are 5-10 years from retirement and have been talking about what the next step will be. Rather than go through the cost/hassle of owning, we decided to try and do some long term rentals. -

Morbid post alert (apologies)
IIRC it was spring 1988 - freshman year - living in Friley. A guy and a girl were on a motorcycle westbound on Lincoln way. We could hear the girl screaming which caused us to look out the window just in time to see the motorcycle slam into the rear end of a car at the Welch Ave/Lincoln Way...
