Shut the hood, they're getting away!

Surfing the McMaster-Carr site is like being a kid in a candy store, except for that the candy store is the size of a city block and accessed though a glowing rectangle of light. Also, the candy is three times more expensive than it should be, but where else are you going to find a reverse acme-threaded nylon... uhm, chocolate bar? I think I bent this metaphor past the breaking point.

At this very moment, a lone child is standing by the Corkscrew, with a tearful question for the empty stands on his lips:

"Can I get on your shoulders now!?"

Maybe he should start a captive breeding program! That's how they make cars, right? ...Right?

I saw a decent-condition Mark I Supra for sale locally a few years back. It's a bit of an ugly duckling though; I'm not too surprised that they're endangered.

A couple in the local car club refers to theirs as "the mailbox." It's a long story, but you should be able to infer the generalities.

Be nice to Sirota, he's probably a vegan too. The lack of essential nutrients has doubtless wrought havoc with his brain chemistry.

I aagree. That's why I turn to the online liberal rag The Atlantic instead!

Also, I think that's about as far into actual politics as we should go around here. Else there may be blood...

I'd guess that, as it's a hinged surface that's formed separately from the adjoining bits, it's sitting at an ever-so-slightly different angle than the surrounding metal and reflecting the light differently.

You do occaisionally see a tiny mismatch between metal and plastic parts like bumper covers, but that's due to the different substrates.

Hold on, I need to go count the years before I can import a Shuttle Beagle.
