    no she drives a small commuter vehicle and i’m in a van. So if she needs the van she’ll take it but she has heard me warn her enough times that a bear will hike 30,000 miles to tear the door off my van for a taco bell wrapper that she doesn’t eat in it. She mostly just uses her car.









  • the suspension is barely loaded, I’m guessing AI or Art Vehicle and that’s all a shell. I owned a work truck with an 8 foot bed and when it was loaded the tire would be way up in the wheel well more. Could be some super suspension but my money is it’s not really what we are seeing. The suspension being perfectly level with the ground makes me think AI as the vehicle is designed to be level with the rear loaded. With that front loaded down too the nose should be pitched down a bit.


  • Slackware took like 40 3.5" double sided double density disks, and woe betide the poor soul who didn’t label them because the stack was a foot high and you damn well would get them mixed up.

    When doing it from home I would frequently run into issues that required me to completely reinstall dos and Telemate to go back to usenet and get help, print the help and then take another stab.

    Dos and Linux had different opinions about SCSI chain termination so this usually involved full cover off to move jumpers on the hard drives and sometimes irq jumpers on the motherboard to get the modem AND sound card working right.

    Then the fact that to get online once you had slackware installed required you to write your own SLIP/PPP dialup scripts because every ISP was doing their own thing.

    Honestly it was a fucking wonderful time. Many happy memories.
