I’m not sure I trust the person that just wrote the headline

Please tell me you’re joking.

I feel pretty confident in saying the age of the plane had nothing to do with the crash you saw, it was most likely pilot error. Old planes aren’t allowed to be less airworthy than new planes just because they’re old, they meet the same regulations, and as far as I know are no more likely to crash than a brand new…

I’ve no idea what you were trying to respond to, but nice 4Runner!

Jesus, I don’t know how I’d handle that much complexity. With my Falcon it’s like “does the transmission still have at least half it’s oil? Yup. Is the rear axle still bolted to the leaf springs? Yup. Inspection complete.”

I think that’s a pretty blurry line, because before 1931 (also known as three years before 1934) the Ford Pickup and Ford Sedan were built on the exact same chassis and were identical from the back edge of the doors forward.

I really don’t think that was America, unless the few dozen high-level people at Ford who made that decision represent all of America. I’m pretty sure most Americans who even knew the Falcon was still being built in any part of the world would’ve liked to see the Falcon continue being built.

The “modern” architecture being built these days isn’t so much “modern” as much as it is “contemporary bloated IKEA.” I’ll cheers to bringing back illustration though, and I support attempts to build mid-mod homes as long as they stay under 2,000 sq ft.

As an illustrator, I’d like to hug you.

Mechanical parts are never the hardest part to find. I can walk into any NAPA store in the country and buy almost any drivetrain part for my 50 year old Falcon. It’s things like an interior trim piece that was only molded in a particular color for this model of Integra that are impossible to find, and add up quickly…

You seem to be forgetting that there are many many new cars that cost more than $60k, and what this person bought is at this point essentially a one -of-a-kind new car.

I do that every time too. Lock my brakes and slide to a stop, and then intentionally fishtail around the corner, so I know how roads feel that day. I’ve had times when the road looked dry but actually had a paper thin coating of ice, enough to slide easier, and doing that kept it from surprising me later in the drive.

I’m not sure if you already own an old car or not (I’m talking 40+ years old, I’m not a person who thinks 1990 is old), but I have some possibly useful advice. Just buy any old car from the same era, and it will likely bring you 90% of the joy of your dream car, for 1/50th the price, because there will be something…

So they need a Mahindra Roxor? Time is weird.

Did you actually listen to or watch the entire hearings though? I did, and he didn’t just come across as angry, he came across as suspicious and diversionary. And regardless of whether the accusations are true or not, he completely melted down in the hearing, which a supreme court justice should be able to control…

This is what’s shocking to me. I’ve always been good about having an open mind and being able to respect people with different opinions from myself, I’m always the one asking people to consider the other side. But these days I’m physically repulsed by the Republican party. Almost any time a prominent republican opens…

wtf does Gigaparsec mistyping “guy” as “goy” have to do with you randomly announcing “yes, I am not a Jew”? All of your comments sound like confused antisemitic conspiratorial trash.

Speaking from my experience driving my girlfriend’s crosstrek, the car may as well not have an engine until it hits 3500rpm, so the power band is really weird and limited. Meanwhile my Falcon, which is rated for 25 less horsepower, feels like it has the almost the same amount of power from idle to redline. I’m pretty…

Concur. You would own several jeeps in the time that a high mileage 3rd gen 4Runner would last you. My family owns a black ‘97 with a 5-speed, locking diff, and cloth interior that was bought new by my parents. For the last few years we’ve been passing it around while my brother and I are in / were in college. We’re…

That’s always a mistake.
