14 year old boys don't exactly have posters of a Toyota Camry up on their wall, though...
Well they're not getting a playmate or the calender girl either - unless pops has a lot of coin

Our Toyota Camry Solara is the single worst, least reliable car I've ever owned.  And that includes not one but four different Chrysler products, manufactured between 1981 and 2017.  And two different Fords.

Budweiser/Miller/Coors sells billions of gallons of beer per year but it's completely disgusting crap.  People are dumb and have terrible taste.  Film at 11.

We're provided with the cheapest crap we won't turn down.  As we are in most every aspect of society.

I feel like someone told me Macaroni Grill and Carrabba's were the same but with different names, but a quick google says that might not be true. Macaroni Grill is just an awful name.

Bless the internet for highlighting some good local places.

Macaroni Grill is disgusting. 

The right Carrarabas run by the right propertiors is actually surprisingly good.

I suspect a lot of folks who bought a BMW 3 Series drive it entirely the same way one could drive a Camry.
This is funny as I just had an experience with this kind of thing.

I rent cars for some work trips. I get the cheapest option, which means talking whatever is on hand. Usually it's crappy subcompact, but of late it's been some weirder stuff (avoided the van to this point). But the last time I rented, the guy was about to give me a small truck when I said, "give me whatever has the best gas mileage." He said if I didn't want the truck, there was a two-seater convertible coupe, low-end sports car type thing. I asked about gas mileage and it was better, so away I went in the low-slung little thing.

After, someone said, "did you drive really fast?" and it was like, I drove the way I usually do, 7-9 MPH above the speed limit. And the car was noisy at low speeds, smoother at higher ones and I can get my Camry up to 100 almost as easy. But the only time I got a car up to 100, I caught a 23 over ticket, an my car gets me to the same 79 that little sports car did. There were some nice features and it was sorta fun just to dabble with.

Interesting. 

The only time I do Carrarabas is on work trips, and maybe only 3-4 times total, none in years. Never been to Macaroni Grill, I think. In any case, the town I'm in has worthwhile pizza and Italian, so there's not a point where I'll say "Man I need that chain I almost never go to."

Question. Is it a Christmas faux pas to give a 13 year old a set of used gold clubs bought off Craigslist?

I found a full set including 3 wood, 4-PW matched irons, SW/LW, putter and bag for $90. Graphite shafts, so they're light enough for a young teen to swing. 

I figure that should be pretty exciting for him even though they're not brand new, yeah.

Lots of local places are not going to be around if the lockdowns have any say.

This is where my head is. 

The best Italian restaurant I've been too is in Sheboygan, WI. We found a good one here, locally.

How could they be light if they are made from solid gold?

I am somewhat tempted by the C8 Vette, convertible, but I always think I would never drive it anywhere near its capabilities.

I don't drive the GTI near its capabilities.  I like having the extra "cushion" if I get into a curve a bit too fast or need to punch it to merge etc.

For me, having a manual is a good step to making a car fun to drive, even in the city.  The valet at the French restaurant can't drive a stick, so when he sees us, he just smiles and points to the lot.

I give him five bucks anyway.  He's a nice kid.

The GTI really is hard to beat for our needs, which are modest, the spaciousness is handy when we trek to Costco.
