  Probably that. We had issues with one of our Audi keys - new fob battery and they went away.

  National Dish is a good read if you want to understand how a lot of "traditional" food came into being.

  I took a wok cooking class here and asked the Taiwanese chef / teacher what Taiwanese food was like before they had easy access to the ingredients we were using (corn starch, brown sugar, cattle beef, etc). The thought had never crossed his mind. It kind of left him confused.

  Yeah. I am a sucker for a cushion case. Apparently taste is genetic.

  I almost bought one second hand (in the US) about 1993. I always like the shape (nice evolution of the Taurus design approach) but it was less than inspiring under the hood

  Ford then released the Explorer, paved the way for the SUV explosion. Toyota started making their trucks for the wider US market, Nissan started building trucks, everyone building larger and larger, culminating in todays 6 figure pickups.

  Rare indeed and, to me, stands as sliding door vehicle in US car history.

  My son managed to cook the G-shock I got for him for Xmas by learning the downside of solar cells and strong incandescent bulbs. (sorry @ElGonzo)

  We looked for a replacement and he chose this baller option. Good taste for a 12 year old. 50% off to boot.
