    I'm fascinated by them going to gas stations. The stories said that scouts were running interference to get them easily in and out, but did they check the credit card readers in advance? How many times have you been in a hurry for gas only for the stupid thing to not take your card, forcing you to go inside where a disinterested clerk might take two minutes to ring it up?

    Pay with credit X
    Pay with debit X

    Insert card
    Remove quickly (why always quickly? what will happen if I leave it in for a few extra seconds?)

    Enter zip code

    Is this a Debit card? YES NO
    (I just pushed "pay with credit" you idiot)

    Do you want a car wash? YES NO

    Do you want a receipt? YES NO


    I think a disinterested clerk may be quicker.

    "No, I don't need a GODDAMN CAR WASH!" - me at the pay at the pump, about every week during the winter when it's -6 below.

    I became obsessed with the Cannonball Run when I was 8 and that still holds. Two movies -- so goddamn kitschy -- but as noted, I bet they were hilarious to make. Between the drinking and the coke, it was probably a great time.

    Could someone open a fantasy camp where I could play the Joe Theismann role in Cannonball II? Susan Anton and Daisy Duke never looks so good.

    Can an Alfa run for more than half a day without a trip to a mechanic?

    Mine’s gone 5K without so much as a warning light. Knock wood.
