I’m enjoying this thing now, but boy does it have some quirks. The first time I got over 30 dwellers, the whole vault crashed and refused to load ever again. It seemed to wig out because too many babies were born at once or something? Appears from some forums out there this is a thing, especially on older platforms.…

At some point, you guys are going to have to admit that Florida isn’t the most Florida place in the country.

Also, do we need to start looking out for the facial hair / haircut combo sported by 3/4 of the guys on the top row? It clearly is either a marker for this kind of behavior, or the cause of it.

I saw one yesterday.

I disagree.

So this is no unicorn. Rotary Starlets are a whole thing. Or they were in Orlando five or ten years ago anyway. Generally turbo’d with muscle car rear ends, spitting flame down the local dragstrip. Ungodly loud. Some are very quick — I want say around 10 sec.? They were big with Puerto Rican car clubs, so I think…

That’ brilliant. Though if it ever became prevalent, I can immediately see the potential for some horrible “pranks” involving pre-recorded video.

Wait. That’s not how articles and things work. It’s not supposed to be “properly rounded.” That’s not a thing. There’s no requirement that to be “legitimate,” any article about an electric vehicle must host a detailed dialogue about the relative cost / benefits of alternative fuels such as will satisfy your personal…

Not just the police. Bank robbery falls under FBI jurisdiction. Say what you will, but they do tend to get the people they go after.

Heartbreaking. Hearing that that the phone was left in the Waffle House, I wonder if dementia played a role in making it harder to recall / find the floor-mounted door handle.

And, sorry, but that’s bad design. Maybe it’s obvious if you know about it, but cars are places where emergency escapes are more likely to be…

Wow — she’s got that move down pat. Raise the glove like the ball’s coming in, but hammer that elbow back at just the right moment to flatten the runner. She sold the first one pretty well, but the second one is pure People’s Elbow. Then when the ball finally arrives, she looks to see if the runner has peeled herself…

He lifts her and spins her neatly with his arm to keep the momentum going. Be much uglier if she actually leaped up and scissored his head like that with him fighting back. Most likely the move wouldn’t work at all because she has no leverage at all once she’s off the ground.

I’d like to see one of these kitted out as a nice mini-camper. We don’t have much (any?) of that breed in the states anymore, but if it’s this strong and handles / parks in a reasonably car-like manner, it could be perfect.

I nearly wound up with an 80’s Dodge Laser turbo as my first car. Velour seats; turbo lag for days — I liked it. But the woman who was selling it was up to something. She let on at one point that she was going through a divorce, and we noticed there were people coming by to look at a fishing boat on a trailer she was…

She’s got a stellar idea, there.

Wow. It’s up to $21,000 with 74 bids. I think she’s great, but I don’t see the quadruple (quintuple? sextipple? Okay that last one is not right) value. Selling a destroyed 2005 beater — respected Accord or not — for $21k+ guarantees only “a crazy super fan” will be buying it.

VW 2.0 TDI motor
- 150 hp
- 236 lb-ft
- 43 mpg
It’s a “base” engine because it is the lowest-spec VW commuter diesel we get in the U.S. No diesel clatter or clouds of soot. 400+ miles on a tank. Smooth, quiet, and shockingly great at top-gear passing. Near-perfect commuter car engine, and actually fun on the highway.

Isn’t the biggest issue just the fact that VW started shipping their amazing, award-winning MQB platform architecture a year ago, but made the American market wait until really just NOW to get them?

I was awaiting the the supposed arrival of the Golf GTD, but not only did that not happen, but VW withheld the whole 2015…

That was such a fun shortcut in Fallout II (old person here). Run across the desert to the locations you don’t “know about” yet; grab power armor as a very low level character; enjoy boosted strength and durability way ahead of schedule. Being able to shortcut a few things like that made the game more re-playable than…

Joe Piscopo rode my Jungle Cruise boat at WDW (Orlando) with his wife and child in the mid-90’s and, at his sole discretion, had us fill the boat normally, with 28 or so other passengers. They were pleasant to everyone and took no special treatment other than being back-doored onto the ride (understandable given that…

That is a beautiful coupe. Love the green paint and those Euro-headlights. Gorgeous.

So ugly it ... just continues to be ugly.
