In town to get coffee. Im contacting B of A for a replacement card to get me access at the very least to the money mom and dad sent me to eat out. Valentine is nice. Slept in the Heep without issue aside from rear end padding, had to roll over a lot. Sleep ate all my cookies :(

What do your folks think of your road trip? From what you've said about your dad, he probably approves.

Edit: and will go up to your house while you're out and glue all your furniture to the walls or something.

Ah, see, you don't need to fix the rear brakes. Just, while driving, step down into that hole and apply the heel of your boot to the spinning drum thing.

If going for accuracy it needs scarring into his chest. And I don't doubt he'd go for it.

Also does the PNW not get sunshine ever or something? I live in England and I'm not that white. Or is 14" the actual real life inspiration for the film 'Powder' ??

You own a Volkswagen fastback in a field. I do not believe you are any different from him, deep down.

Perhaps this is what truly scares you.

Look in the mirror now and see the beast that laid within this whole time.

Yes? I live in the middle of nowhere.

Actually amazon is pretty good and everything usually gets here within a week or less. 2 day is crazy expensive and overnight is literally impossible. Like, it is not an available option from any shipping company.

Edit : and it's only 2 hours from any Walmart.

the PNW is basically a temperate rainforest. 4 months of sunshine during summer, the rest of the year is overcast and rain. similar to scotland?

Population of Nebraska: 1,882,000. 77,421 mi2

Population of Santa Clara County, CA: 1,862,000. 1,304 mi2

e. haha, the list of ten least populous counties in America includes five Nebraska counties, numbering 460 to 632 people.

Jesus. Entire counties with less than five hundred people. I'd guess like at least 10% of the population must work in county government.

Yup. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_..._50_states.html

Nebraska: 273,424 people per EV
California: 508,344 people per EV.

Nebraskans' votes for president are worth almost double those of Californians' votes. New York and Florida are slightly worse. But no voter has more power than the Wyoming voter. 142,171 people per EV.

There are more cows here than people and my county is bigger in land mass than the state of Rhode island. Yet is not in the top 5 largest counties in the USA. Robot sent you a pm back.

Worse, an Oldsmobile w body. And I have no idea, guessing no because Olds and auto.

Double edit, I guess I don't know which car you're talking about. I have a 90s Olds sitting out here but in the pic is a type 3, 71 Newport, and a 78 Olds delta with bucket seats and a console shift. It's actually pretty drat sweet.
