I have high hopes for the 2020 Ford Bronco, but Im trying not to get too excited.

Someone told me that a car can come equipped with either a
“truck” frame or an “auto” frame.
One style being less costly but the ride is rougher.
Not sure if this makes any sense. Perhaps someone can explain.

Allen, Turner has always left me cold and, let's be honest, RTS was a pure ripoff.

"Too Many Husband" or "My Favorite Wife" (at a high-level, it's the same story with the genders switch)?
I'm going with My Favorite Wife since I like me some Cary Grant.

The Maltese Falcon or The Big Sleep?

Kate....I love her spunk!

Harlow or Monroe?

Harlow (1) always go with the original and (2) shockingly, she had a harder life.

What didn't you like about the end of "The Maltese Falcon -" Bogie properly lets Astor hang and the Fat Man goes on looking for the bird?

"Angles in the Outfield" or "It Happens Every Spring" (two goofy baseball movies)?

Tough one, but I'll go with the one with
Ray Milland.

Ted Williams or Joe DiMaggio?


Maltese Falcon ending!

I didn't like that Bogie turned in Astor because of what she did to his
sleazy partner who deserved what he
got.
First, I would have taken Astor for an evening in Chinatown.
Enjoy some good Chinese food.
Later, watch the morning sunrise overlooking the San Francisco Bay from
the bedroom window.
The End! :)


PS:
I've read that Astor's diary earned her
the infamous reputation of being
"The greatest nymphocourtesan since
Madame Pompadour."
At her trial the judge ordered the book
to be incinerated! :(

For fast read on Astor and her diary, I read this about a year ago when it came out:

In the past these terms were not heard because body on frame construction was pretty much universal on American vehicles. That is what is now referred to as a truck frame . Two steel channel rails tied together with steel crossmembers with the body mounted to it. A unibody frame is where the body and frame are a single unit. Not all one piece necessarily, or all the same material, but bonded together. Body on frame is more rigid and tends to produce a stiffer ride quality.
