  • With you. Love beer, cocktails, whisk(e)y, amaro, etc. And I really don’t like getting drunk (I do sometimes, but always regret it).

    2-3/night is my usual. Usually a beer after work then another 1 or two throughout the evening. Add an afternoon beer or cocktail on the weekends. Well-spaced. Almost never more than 5 drinks in an entire day.




  • They just fell apart. The plastic body meant no rust (I think the roof was steel though)!

    Seriously, everything inside just started falling apart after 10 years. Dash, seat belt winders, door panels fell off, radio buttons just caved in, etc. and ours lived a fairly pampered life.

    I spent a good deal of my childhood in one. The 3.1L V6 was a dog and the 3 speed transmission meant kicking down was an event and the mileage was terrible. Dad always wished he held out for the 3.8L and 4 speed in '92.








  • In the late 90s (or maybe 2000) in the US Midwest, I remember paying $0.79 a gallon, or $0.21/L. With the exchange rate then, it works out to £0.13/L. So yeah, it was cheap. I filled my 15 gallon tank for the cost of 2 hours at my just above minimum wage job.

    Shockingly, the only fail for the Ford F150 Lightning is the physical buttons for climate control on the higher trim models (with the gigantic screen). The Pro and XLT have the physical buttons and I’ll be damned if I don’t miss them.

    And on those, fan speed is a touch and then you can dial the speed on the one physical control.
