So if I’m understanding this ad correctly, Goldilox visits some sort of clinic in the woods, undergoes gender reassignment surgery, becomes a man and drives trucks while fighting dragons? Yeah... that will go over real well with the Superbowl Audience.

I wonder how long it will take for the USAID money that is likely coming to this site to stop.

Maybe the problem isn’t the Brightline train so much as it is the people who exist around the Brightline train.

CVT transmission that has simulated shifts. Blech. Bring back the sporty sedan with a manual transmission!

TopGear showed us this a long time ago.

“The driver then drove around the gates”

Still on that “deadliest train” soapbox, eh? If anyone drives around a closed gate, that’s on them. The number of street level crossings has no bearing on the accidents as they all have gates and a lot of visual and audible signals. And you have to remember (from someone who lives here) Florida has its own special…

Growing up around trains, we were taught two things:

I think being forced to drive in terrible traffic makes people miserable. I’m ok with just driving. 

This.  I still find driving fun, except for all the drivers paying more attention to their phone than the road.

I grew up in a time where my parents would take me for rides. Just ride around. Then I used to do it in highschool. I still try to take the long way home every once and a while. Usually other people on the road is what makes it miserable for me.

That’s part of it, but not just because US workers aren’t cheap—it’s also because US workers are stupid. I work in tech, and if we didn’t hire from abroad, the positions wouldn’t get filled because most American grads don’t know basic math and/or have no interest in STEM. We have a whole in-house legal department…

I get the feeling most people on this site have picked a side and stick to it even when it doesn't make sense. I'm sure if this story was about the police not stopping someone at that person then went on to commit a worse crime people on here would question why the police didn't stop them when they had the chance to. 

Radio to whom? Someone has to ultimately stop the offender. Are you counting on someone being wherever he decides to stop? Will he kill someone, carjack someone, or commit other crimes before he is stopped? Is the car stolen? Do they know the driver’s identity? 

This is a huge benefit of brining vs rock salt. Here in Milwaukee, the city brines preemptively when a snowstorm is expected. The water evaporates leaving a thin film of salt right where it’s needed. Rather than having the rock salt being flung toward the curb by rolling tires. When the snow begins, the brine…

I can’t speak for pickle brine but the beet juice brine is horrific and absolutely DESTROYS cars, I don’t care what the MTO says. Signed: a guy who lives in Northern Ontario and has to use a torch on every single fastener under every vehicle he owns. Most people around here just lease trucks for 5-7 years and then…

I wish we could go back to those times.

 Me too, but that just means we're old. 

I can remember a time when there were no US constructors, no US drivers and no US races in F1.

They will hire the definitely American driver Danny Rick Cardo.
