Although I doubt it, they may be using something like the convertible reinforcement kits.

That doesn't look like the type of car someone has spent $250 on in the interest of safety.

Wait, are you talking about that specific car or Beetles in general? Because that sentence could pretty much apply to one straight out of the factory.

Welp, got my schedule for next week.

I have jury duty at 8am on Monday. I'm scheduled to open on Monday. I gave my boss a copy of the summons the same day that I received it (3 weeks ago), and I've already made plans around the only day off I have next week (school stuff).

I will say, loving with jury duty is the one time judges will side with the employee over the employer every time. Even in Texas.

Is it so bad? The beetle is shell-on-floorpan - a glider club I visited once had a completely stripped down beetle as a glider tug, and it had survived decades pulling gliders on a grass field.

I agree, if that had been a modern unibody, it would've been a different story.

I'm going to be married by this time in 7 days. Currently out in the middle of nowhere with my friends, where we rented a cabin, ate steaks, and drank a surprising amount of whiskey and beer.

Sadly my 3rd shift sleep schedule means I am the last one standing... The windmill is also super noisy. I wonder if I'll get any sleep tonight.

Same. I work at my friends restaurant in the winter washing dishes on the weekend and last night was insane with 2 huge parties. I feel like a 70 year old man with arthritis this morning. I also cut the poo poo out of my ring finger and thumb with the pizza cutter right at the end of my shift, too :shepface:

This is rough- he was a pivotal figure for so many of us that my younger cousins who never really knew him (moved away when in in the super low single digits) have magically created memories of working in the garage with him.

Its hard to accept that someone who is gone- is gone. Just that.

Its also my anniversary of my near-death, today. I guess I can talk about it now that the judge just decided to all but throw my case out, even though it hasn't even been executed.

I was wondering why Apples to Apples sucks so much, thinking "this is like Cards Against Humanity for Mormons".

And then I looked it up, and it was made by a Mormon, which explains the aggressive banality of it all.

Does anyone know of anyone who this ever happened to, ever? I hear tales of fines and such but have never ever seen it first-hand, and my grandfather has thrown away his summons his whole life. I work with plenty of other old dudes who laugh at me when I say I'm on call that week.

I respond to the summons because I'm a pussy but also because meh, whatever it's something different.

To be clear I'm using what I believe to be the current android awful app, which doesn't. It's still a million times better than phone browsing on a browser and I'm glad it exists.

It's only 32 in the UP, but coming off the coldest February on record (ave temp 2.4 degrees) it's still a glorious heatwave.
