I think a better comparison than lobster would be crawfish (or crawdads, or crayfish, mudbugs, whatever your neck of the woods calls them). They're closer to bugs in size, but still have the looks of a lobster. I have some Cajun friends who break the tail off, suck the guts out of the body, then eat the tail. I can…

You know you're going faster than a trot when you no longer feel as if someone is attempting to bash your neck out from in between your shoulders and head with a sledgehammer.

It's most likely a part of the Mammoth-Flint Ridge Cave System and the roof failed. You can see a pretty big gap on the right in these pictures, I'm betting that they're going to be looking at relocating the whole museum once the investigation has been completed.

All this and no mention of Charlie X?

Yea, Leander and Pflugerville ISDs didn't announce delays until AFTER a Leander bus got in a wreck with 7 elementary school kids on board. I know at least one P'ville bus got in a wreck at the entrance to one of the high schools, but I don't know if it had students on it or not.

Part of the problem is more that a lot of places held off on closures until AFTER rush hour started, Austin Community College and UT didn't announce a delayed start until 7:40AM, well after staff and students had begun their commutes, even with meteorologists on news channels saying at 6AM that conditions were already…

Buy a cheap OBD II reader (like this one), you can check the codes yourself and google them if it's steady on. If the CEL starts flashing, it's become a Malfunction Indicator Light, and shit is on the verge of falling apart inside your engine.

This is on Volkswagen's as well: http://www.begoodtoyourvw.com/service/dashbo…

I keep my side mirrors aimed a bit tighter than some recommend, I can just see down the side of my Jeep, but if you're jockeying for position in traffic like Torch mentioned, why worry about what's directly behind you? You want to see whats happening at 5 and 7 o'clock, the exact spots the side mirrors are supposed…

Not being able to see behind you all that well is a pretty big handicap for a NYC cab, since so much of driving in Manhattan involves jockeying for position in traffic. I think there could be an easy solution, though: let the rear view camera stay on all the time.

Yea, he's a ball of crazy, and far from perfect, but we love him to death. I was amazed at how closely your little guy matches his coloring. Really the only physical difference is that our guy has a kinked tail.

Look, I found a picture of him in 6 years!

Even more interestingly, Chevy's site says the Spark starts at $12,170, but when I click through to the "build and price" section, the cheapest option is $12,995

Apparently the Versa actually starts at $11,990? http://www.nissanusa.com/cars/versa-sed…

I'm thinking it's more likely that box trailers got swapped somewhere along the way and the dispatch office didn't get the memo.

I totally agree, though I think part of that may be runaway contracting costs. My biggest problems with the toll roads in Austin is the insane amounts of excess. This toll plaza on 183A was closed entirely and is barricaded by concrete barriers. This one on mopac only uses the outermost and innermost toll lanes.…

And if you live in Hutto, 130 and 45 are the best highways to get anywhere. Same with the northeastern portion of Pflugerville. Here's the most recent list. Rene Lee Ferguson got passed up and I think Ronny Williams settled, so the new top offender is Mandy and Stephen Dyment with 10,566 unpaid tolls totaling…

Amazingly, at the end of the day they didn't even arrest him. Hell, in New York they'll straight up throw you in jail for only 25 grand in violations.

My first thought when I saw DDoS in there.

We actually have some lighting in one of the buildings where I work that there are a lot of questions as to how bulbs will be changed when they burn out (the building was completed in 2010). Equipment used to install the lighting was apparently removed prior to the building being sealed in and there is not an…
