I always thought the front wing was exclusive to Hawaiin Tropic founder Ron Rice’s personal Countac? He loaned it out to the Cannonball Run shoot, so it’s been photographed a lot. It’s black, like that one. Saw it on the road a few times in Florida.

Looks like the spaceship a technologically advanced cockroach would fly.

This reminds me of how every once in a while when you’re looking for a nail clipper or a pair of socks or something on Amazon, you’ll find one listed for $100,000 or so. Weirder still, some of them don’t seem to be typos. Like, that’s ALWAYS the price.

BEWARE


I have a number of unjust biases based on vehicle type / appearance. The one I hold most dear was actually invented by wife, who observed there is a *color* of car that predicts cockeyed road behavior likely to cause mayhem. It is basically dark green, but specifically a kind of badly maintained, slightly…

Still the most successful space program in the history of mankind by a long shot.

Thirty-nine years; 135 missions — several times its planned lifespan of 15 years. No other country has ever come close to anything like a viable, reusable orbital craft. The Shuttle kept the U.S. at the pinnacle of spacefaring…

There a quite a few around me for some reason, and they actually look a little anonymous on the road. I like them, but until you catch something unique, like the black patch where the grille would be, when they’re coming at me or gliding by, there’s always a second or two where they just register as a generic luxury…

As an American, I can only hope to someday live in a country with sufficient wealth and technological advancement to have nice trains, and like, roads and bridges that aren’t falling to pieces.

Then again, we DO have the latest flying bomb robots, so there’s that.

Excellent piece — I did not know this, and needed to. Thanks.

Third-degree illumination burn!

I used to think as you. Then I got a few of these, looked at the pile of warped, scaling non-stick aluminum pans that I'd replaced over and over, and donated them all. These don't stick. They don't warp. They cook better. They last forever. You spend more on the non-stick and they never work as well. Plus…

All harrowing and hilariously / terrifyingly written. Rosa's psychopath should absolutely have gotten an assault charge instead of a table. Someone in her future has a dented forehead because that manager's spine was made of Silly Putty. I

Yep. They apparently require this of all of them now. The Sentinel still has some solid writers, but it’s struggling and not the paper it once was.

I actually know Jessica Inman a bit. She’s young, and hasn’t been at the Sentinel long. She wanted to write — no idea if she has any broadcast experience.

Holy crap. No hazards? And then gets *back* in the car, still in the middle of the road, still without even the hazards on, and serenely smooths her hair and fiddles with the phone, ignoring the pleas to get to safety, while cars dive and squeal and careen around her?

Yep. A simple back of the envelope car payment estimation that will work with most financing is:

(Amount financed) x 2 / 100. In other words, financing $12k should be about $240 / month — about where you wound up.

One of these pulled up next to us at a stoplight in Lake Mary, FL the other day. My wife has a great eye for exotics (she spotted a McLaren on the road the other day from way back behind us).

It’s a beautiful machine. But.

The wheels are so large in relation to the car they look almost comical, though. And the poor,…

Is that a flame symbol in his logo? Doesn’t Ted Cruz have a flame symbol in his logo (only his is some mashup of the flag and the Texas flag or something)?

WHAT’S WITH ALL THE FLAMES WHAT DO THEY MEAN?

I’m not saying it’s the secret mark of a nationwide fascist conspiracy, but if Jeb Bush’s campaign comes out with a…

That is a very cool thing to look at on the Internet, where it can't harm anyone on this side of the screen.

That's a chilling pattern. An apparently unbroken habit, since at least age 17, that goes something like:

There is nominally dairy-free "cheese." Soy products, I believe. Yes, that means it really isn't cheese at all, but that's got to be what she meant.
