One year, the Year of the Perfect Tree, we got to the tree farm in two vehicles, I got there first in my pickup, my wife drove my ex and arrived about 2 minutes later. She walked up to me and said, "I found the perfect tree!" Mind, we hadn't even explored the trees, she saw it as she drove up. She stood by it as I wandered to look over the others. But she had "The Perfect Tree!" And indeed it was. About 10 feet, full, very symmetrical, gorgeous. So we bought it. Got it home, managed to get it into the stand. We always let a tree "relax" a day before decorating it, Half an hour later it fell over. Got it back up, and it fell over again. Put an eye-screw into the wall to tie it off. It fell over.
When it fell over at 0300, I got a quarter sheet of plywood, mounted the stand on it with carriage bolts, put 3 cinderblocks on it. Tree didn't fall over again.
But LORDY! was that tree gorgeous!I’m still stuck on the idea your wife and ex-wife alone in a car. I can’t wrap my head around that scenario in my world as a fatality would have occurred.

Many cars have steel lug nuts with a decorative cap over the steel. After several years corrosion forms between the underlying steel nut and the decorative cap. This causes the cap to swell so that a lug wrench will no longer fit.
Happened to my late wife's mini van. Fortunately the tire dealer had a set of special sockets just to remove these cheap chinese abominations. Replaced them with an all steel nut.
I just keep 18 and 19mm sockets handy at home for my Jeep. 19mm with the cap, 18 without. For traveling, a cap that fell off makes a dandy shim to keep with the wrench that came with the car.

We were living on the Marine air station at Iwakuni in May of 1959. On May Day that year, a bunch of commies rioted at the base entrance, so the base fire department turned the hoses on them. Thus ended the riot. Seems we could resurrect that tactic for some of today’s antics.

That's a nice looking car for the era. I wonder how many could afford to buy one?

I think they work, you don't see a lot of smokers these days down here
I’m sure they’re heavily taxed too, which makes the government addicted to the revenue.
The dirty little secret in this country is the taxes collected on tobacco, which they say is to defray the cost of treating smoking related illnesses, are mostly diverted for general spending.
Years ago the states sued the tobacco companies to “recover” health expenditures. Each state received several billion dollars. Audits later showed that the state of Missouri only spent 6 hundred thousand dollars on health initiatives, while the rest of their 2 billion settlement went to general revenue. That was just one example. I'm sure most states did the same.
The hypocrites can’t afford to have anyone quit smoking.

You guys as kids didn't play knucklebones/jacks?
They were either plastic like below of real knuckle bones.
Never heard of, or seen them. In the US, they looked like this:

Sure would like to have that setup for all the morons who insist on tailgating at 70 mph. Honestly, some are so close their grill isn’t visible in my rear view mirror.

Buds = 5 each
Person = 5
Watch = 2 each
last line:
5 + (10+5+2) x 2 = 44

It's less math, more observation.
earbuds = 10 per pair
person = 5 each
watch = 4 per pair
So -- last line:
1 earbud = 5
1 watch = 2
1 person = 5BUT WAIT! The person in the final line is wearing a pair of earbuds AND a watch!
Therefore, person with pair of earbuds and a watch = 17
Therefore, final equation is 5 + 17 X 2
Order of ops with no parentheses, brackets, or exponents is multiply and divide left to right, then add and subtract left to right
So
5 + 34
39
Edited, because I noticed the person is also wearing a watch. Such fun
Sum of yous guys iz smart! I ar not…
Fun brain teaser!

Two words, "Air Bags."
Not uncommon, at least around here. Low riders at rest can have less than an inch of clearance, some, on the road only have 3 or 4 inches.
Guy I used to work with did this:

I’m talking about the excessive length of the car and the one behind it. I believe the image has been stretched horizontally and compressed a bit vertically.

People ride bikes for different reasons. I loved to travel and explore new places. An old air cooled BMW was my mode of travel. My best ride I had was left Ohio and headed west by myself. Three weeks later I got home on Friday time to go to work on Monday, Here is my BMW riding Bear Tooth Pass highway. Gave up about 10 years ago too many crazy drivers and my reflexes slowed down.
Loved those Beemers!
