Right now AnimeCon.org/Chrono LC CEO Ryan Kopf (who runs Anime Midwest, Animinneapolis, Meta Con, Con Alt Delete, Yoi Con, and several other events) is suing me in the state of Illinois over articles I wrote about him on my geek news site Nerd & Tie. Please consider contributing to my legal fund so I can continue to fight this case. Read Trae's Blog | Follow Trae on Twitter
Note: While it’s true that many things are based on actual events, the characters contained within this strip are not meant to be direct analogs for actual people. They are not based off of people living, dead, or undead and any resemblance is coincidental. Nor are they based off of Ferrets.
Because that would be weird.
Good luck finding parts for a car that old Lynn. The company more than likely stopped making replacement parts over 30 years ago and the new replacement parts would have to be made on a CNC machine translating to much more money worth spending. In short, get a newer vehicle.
You assume she’s going to use new parts.
Also, the Grand Marquis shares a lot of parts with the Ford Crown Victoria — which was the basis for many an 80s cop car.
(The popularity of the platform for cop cars and taxis means there are a ton of after market parts still being made for the car too)
You would be surprised at how easy older car parts are to come across. If it’s a common model it is literally as easy as click and buy. Rare cars are a little harder
whats left of it is worth more to sell as a part car for someone else as dumb as Lynn
I mean, Lynn works a well paying job. She doesn’t maintain a 32 year old car in immaculate condition because it’s *practical*
Never related to one of the characters more then Lynn right now
The car is great for safety, just as long as you live in an area with minimal snow and terrible drivers. So, you know, not Indiana.
I mean, Megan is from Indiana — but the comic takes place in Wisconsin.
Lynn has never lived anywhere but Wisconsin.
I mean, a few sandbags in the trunk and it’s fine. Carry tire chains. Hell, if you’re driving distances measured in hours in places with weather like that, you should be doing that anyway. I’m sort of surprises my Lynn doesn’t already, considering it’s her.
Tire chains weren’t legal when I lived in Wisconsin.
What about pushing the “B” button?
