RE: Over-the-top coverage: Is the British-ness over the top or is the delivery of the coverage itself over the top? I find both to varying degrees. The F1TV commentators, while working out of something that looks like a tarted-up podcast studio, put together a show that is more informative and much lighter on ‘ROUND…

The main drag near my old apartment needed 4-5 over the limit to keep riding the green wave. 

I lived on the same block as an orange SX4 in South Carolina.
I moved 500 miles away.
I still live on the same block as an orange SX4.
What the hell.

That’s a thing of beauty. 

I think it’s just part of not having the whole context of the language- when I lived in Germany, both schoolkids and musicians were extremely fond of the English f-bomb, and it just didn’t seem to have they weight that it does to most native English speakers. There were a lot of songs I wanted to play for classes here…

I’ve driven a Fit on multiple trips across 3 states, and it’s not bad. It isn’t great- more than anything, I would like more torque and a comfier seat- but visibility is good, ride is decent, efficiency is very good, and space is unbeatable.

FWIW, my two points of comparison are a 3rd Gen Prius and an NA Miata, so…

This “Jumble of contrasting rectangles” architectural direction is getting to me. I can’t tell if this is a Starbucks, a VC-funded brewpub, or an REI. Wait...it’s a car dealership? 

That hits close to home XD

I’ve seen 2 Bronco Sports, but no full-size Broncos.

I’m missing something, but then I’m reading this a few hours after publishing: The only mention of the word “friend” here is in a direct quote from SCG’s Tweet. Where is the author citing a friend?

Glad to hear somebody’s trying to pick on the hypocrisy of the NCAA from a position of power.

On Booker’s credentials, though, why try to cite something as generic as “he went to a D1 school and grew up near another” as a qualification when the fact that he played football at Stanford is omitted? Hundreds of thousands…

“Supra doesn’t offer the value-per-dollar that it should, and the looks push it over the edge to “no-sale” for many. Controversial looking is not gorgeous, even if a few happen to like the styling... many do not. A sports car that isn’t easy on the eyes is a drawback.”

I agree, but in the market it’s not always the…

I haven’t driven an 86 or a Supra...but I’m not sure how you could call either “botched.” “Not perfect” is hardly a hack job. The 86 could have more power? Well...the Miata could have had more power for nearly 30 years but people still love it and they sold a literal million of them, and the Viper had gobs of power…

That has absolutely happened to me- I asked maybe three dumb questions and played coy and he lost his shit and said he’d murder my family and burn my house down.
That said, being poor and/or doing a job you know is shitty/shifty is prone to make one irritable. They do deserve to at least be thought of as people,…

A lot of them are now doing something, I presume like the phone version of a VPN, that makes a bunch of spam calls show up as local numbers. It’s hard to tell what’s a coworker, neighbor, or similar that isn’t in my phone book and what’s a spam call that caller ID thinks is local. 

As a three-time attendee, I agree. 

They’re insane and far too bright. We actually first got them around my neck of the woods with campus police. LEDs stuck everywhere, bright as a blue sun, flashing rapidly. I drive to work when it’s still dark out, and if I ever see one it blots out everything but the brightest signs and signals in my surroundings. 

Saw some fantastic electronic sign messages on 95 recently:
Camp in VA State Parks, Not the Left Lane. 

I see what you mean, but in stat-speak, this is called small-sample bias. “I’ve never flipped a car, and neither has my wife or brother.” Sadly, there are tens of millions of drivers and there are a lot of unlikely scenarios that can result in a car being upside-down. With enough drivers on the road, even unlikely…

Represent! Got one, also a 2010, last fall and just spent my first maintenance money on it: Oil and air filter change. Got tires coming up though, that’s gonna sting a little.
