The problem with the FJ was the configurations it came in. They CLAIMED to offer it in a V6 with a manual transmission for about $20-21K. Except they barely existed like that, and you could only get them pretty loaded, which put the costs into the low-mid $30K’s, which, at the time, was pretty nuts for a ‘low end’ Toyo…

The FJ ran a 14.91. A stock WRX runs in the 13's now, and even back in 2004 would run quicker than a 14.91. I ran a 14.07 in my bone stock 2002 VW GTi 1.8T and a WRX should be at LEAST as quick as that. Granted, I’ve been drag racing and FWD drag racing since the early 90's, and most people managed mid 14's with the…

Around here, all the chains have $7.99 any pizza up to 3 toppings if it’s takeout. My wife gets gluten-free domino’s cuz she has celiac’s disease, and the GF pie she builds with her toppings and what not comes from $18 down to $8. Then we get an XL regular pizza for the kids and me. Total out the door is usually like…

Trevor Noah IS 100% African. From South Africa. He’s half white by race, but he’s 100% FROM AFRICA, Joe. Jesus Christ.

Right but the problem is that Pennsyltucky all around Allegheney County and pennsylvania as a whole has stacked the state capitol so full of idiot republicans that refuse to raise any taxes or spend on infrastructure. This shit has to come from the state coffers moreso than the federal level if you ask me. This bridge…

Also factor in the cost of oil changes and transmission services as well for an ICE car.

Why would there be at the current market conditions? They’re selling more than they can make of the more expensive ones. It’s the same reason Apple doesn’t sell a ‘cheap’ Mac or iPhone. They don’t need to. They make record profits on what they do sell, so why would they sell something with a lower profit margin?…

Have you looked up the actual definition of promiscuous? One of the definitions on Merriam Webster:

I’m an IT engineer. I’ve been using/building/breaking/everything with PCs since 1985. I’ve had iPhones, I’ve had Palm, I’ve had Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile. You name it, I’ve had it. I’m on iPhone for good. Why? Because they’re all ‘good enough’ now. And my wife, kids, her parents, my parents, my sister in law…

There never seems to be the ‘perfect’ phone though with Android. There’s always some corner cut here or there.’This phone’s great but the camera kinda sucks. That one’s great but the battery is meh. This one seems great but it’s from a company that forgets that they made the phone before it’s even on sale and abandon…

I hate the dual glass panels in my Mini Clubman. I got some of that perforated vinyl and covered the glass with it. It claims to be 50/50, but it’s more like 80% covered.  It’s glorious. After I got the windows tinted and it still got roasting hot in the car I figured out why. The ‘shade’ is 2" down from the glass and…

Be careful... wouldn’t want you cutting yourself on that edge.

The thing is, though, there aren’t going to be THAT many jobs lost even IF the dealers go away. Someone still needs to give test drives, someone still needs to work the finance. The difference is that instead of Bob Jones’ getting the profit, Ford does directly. You just likely won’t goto the dealer and get a car THAT…

Well, that depends. Is the toll charter explicit that the tolls collected will ONLY be used for THAT stretch of road? Because those other things still need to get paid for. If you take that money away from those line items, either other budget items get cut or other taxes increase to cover the shortfall. So really,…

I get this with my Mini. I bought a dealer demo car (regional reps < 1 year old car at a very healthy discount). Hit a pothole 3 months later and blew out the sidewall on the run flat tire. Pulled over, called mini roadside, they sent a tow and an Uber to the dealer, then an Uber home. When it was ready the next day,…

Right, and this article is about a single stretch of 10 miles on the highway.

Plus, the people who don’t enjoy union protection that you now interact with daily? “Hey Brian, Jim, Joe... you guys wanna join the union? Here’s all the benefits we get from it.”

I think it depends on the condition of the road whether or not to be upset about it. If the road is beat up and potholed (it’s southern Cali, so probably not), then what else should they do with the money? Sit on it? You can question the appropriations of the money and why so much went here or there, but if the road…

This is another issue. There’s no sense of time passage. We see events from Mando when he found Fennec, but how long were they together between being found and the present? Seems like weeks. But how long was he with Tuskens? Months? How long was he in the Sarlac? A couple days? But then they say Slave-1 was in Jabbas…

It was like ... 8F today in Danville. Why were they carrying monkeys in cages on an open truck?
