I would put chimpanzee much higher in the list. The chimp, being a primate knows how to truly fuck a human being up. A jaguar might snap your neck and rip out your vertebral arteries, but a chimp will tear off your face, chew off your balls, and bite off your fingers. I’d rather have a bear tear my scalp off and break…

I don’t live in a particularly toney area of the country. The highest Ebay listing was 1996 911 Turbo for $124,995. A local car broker lists this on his website:

I don’t really feel like going back to my P-Chem notes to verify this (Dalton’s Law and all that), but it seems to me that if you have molecular gas diffusing out of the tire (O2 in your example), then you also have the possibility for it to diffuse INTO the tire. Molecules that are mobile, will tend to flow from…

Because it’s the Army. Remember that only two branches of the service..the Navy and the Air Force controlled the nuclear triad. Army was left out. While Army wasn’t ever going to be part of the strategic nuclear deterrent, they wanted tactical nukes just in case the Soviet tanks came rolling across Europe.

the exercise is designed to practice dropping nuclear bombs on them. 

Silver State isn’t all that. You can’t show up your first time and run flat-out. See Matt Farah’s take on it.

I think someone will pay it, so I hesitate to say that it’s not worth it. About 15 years ago, I sold my father’s not so clean 15K mile Brougham for $4000 and the guy who bought it cleaned it up and flipped it for $8000. A decade and a half later, I can see a super clean low mileagle Caddie going for double that.…

Too many confuse “A/C” with temperature. You may turn down the temperature, but you are turning UP the A/C.

When everyone gets “free” money, then it will have no value. Keep dreaming of your utopia where free stuff falls from the sky. We have a microcosm of that that system now. What do people who can’t work and yet receiver income do now? The answer isn’t “follow their dreams”.

It is backwards isn’t it? People used to pay extra for quiet cars. I remember that Dad had a 1970 Sedan deVille. There was sound deadening material installed everywhere, and it had 2 mufflers in series. (I was driving it years later when the back muffler fell off. I had the muffler shop replace it with a pipe. It made…

Look closely. It has Chinese badging on the back.

It’s not bolted down? What will you do when this happens?

You’ll also find decals on Chinese cars advertising/branding the vehicle as being washed and detailed by the local wash crew. It seems that you pay monthly to the wash (which is more like a storefront with a few parking spaces) and they keep your car clean for you. The logo on your car quickly IDs it as a customer’s…

Yup. I’m in my mid 50s. You’ll find that getting up and down off the ground becomes an issue. You can extend this a bit by being smart and limiting how much you need to do this. Also, get into the habit of using elbow and knee pads. Being on unprotected knees for more than a few seconds is becoming excruciating.

Yes, you can keep mashing on the wrong pedal. It happened to me, but fortunately not in a car, and there were really no consequences. I was driving one of those slick-track cars at the beach a few years back. It’s one of of those go-carts with right-foot accelerator, and left-foot brake because you straddle the…

I can see this happening. I occasionally “fall in love” with some sort of thing, and seek to acquire all I can. It seems to fill a need. Then I look at my credit statement or bank account and know that it was stupid, until the next time I find myself with some cash on hand.

I had the same thought. Certainly one passenger gets something like the McLaren F1 experience.

There was a guy who lived in my neighborhood that had one of these first generation Insights. His custom tag read, “NO2OPEC”. Yeah, that guy.

This is the only way to adjust your mirrors. If done correctly, you will see an overtaking vehicle in your center rear view. It will then move to your left and just as it disappears from the center mirror, it appears in the left side mirror, as it disappears from your left side mirror, it will appear in your…
