Just the avengers movies and the last two spidermen should be good. That's 6. 7 if you count civil war which is Avengers 2.5

Man. Some cars you have to tear down the front of engine, water pump. Thankfully with chains you rarely replace. I have to do my belt every 100k

I still think the lower 9th ward should have been redevelop as an industrial area. At least the area near Florida blvd.

Right. If I pay extra for the good seat. I'm getting in the plane at the end and I expect my overhead empty.

Everyone knows the Wright bros. Few know Curtiss.

Everyone knows Henry Ford, few know Ransom Olds.

The idea is often bigger than the procedure.

My dad is 70. I thought i got him to stop driving. His car overheated. I told him engine was shot (needed a head job) and sold car to scrapper for $900.
He pulls out bike and I'm OK with that.
Well he went out and bought a car. Then first day lost it at Walmart. Second day loaded it with stuff and forgot he loaded it. 3rd day he gets pulled over for suspected DUI at 2am 45 miles away. No idea how he got there. Blew a 0.0 and let go. But car was impounded.
Get car drive home. Two days later he has it loaded with clothes again.

So I replaced the relay for the fuel pump with a switchable relay. Then I ran a arduino and have it set to turn the relay off after 6pm of its parked at the house.
I actually like my device and may produce it.
Basically I think I have made a time lock for cars.

I also have a GPS on the car and an airtag on his keys.

Since he's been restricted to day driving no issues.
He seems to lose his mind at nights.

re: Godzilla Minus Zero final trailer

but I have never said that the movie is going to be garbage now have I?

Dozens of times. Not THIS movie. A being some Kaiju-nerd your actually excited for this one.
But you shot in almost every movie thread. Without seeing the movie. You will post dozens of times in a thread for a movie you've never seen.
Yet here you're so excited for the movie you won't even watch a trailer.

The point I'm making and, it obviously went over your head. Is that I was giving an opinion on this movie without seeing it based on nothing at all. Like you do.

Actually I like Godzilla too and hope it's good. But I just find it funny that this time you aren't cool with spoilers. When you view more spoilers than content.

I'm sure you're reply and totally miss the mark and that's fine. Me but being you I'm happy with this level of thread shitification and will bow out before your Queen pops in.
