If the cars become popular, businesses will start installing them at their own expense. You’ll be able to plug into a supercharger while you marvel at the world’s largest ball of twine.

Apropos of nothing, was fairly sure I wasted going to get a ticket for 85+ yesterday. Spotted a trooper in a new and inventive spot, and as I jammed on the brakes, I saw his reverse lights do that “i’m shifting into gear blink,” but he never pulled out. My lucky day.

When I was a kid my dad decided to take us on one of his magical mystery tours to ride the Cape May-Lewes ferry as some long forgotten hurricane passed a couple hundred miles off the Eastern Seaboard. He sailed for about 17 years on break bulk freighters and tankers, and I guess he just wanted to feel that roll again.…

I remember having the same thought when I saw a similar ad in Newsweek for an Eagle Talon lo those many years ago.

Not that I condone brake checking, but it looks as if the lead driver had a reasonable speed differential over the traffic in the right lane. I’d never say the trailing driver deserved to crash, but he was the asshole here. But the fact is the driver of the lead vehicle caused the crash and could face all kinds of…

In Pennsylvania constables are elected too. Fun story: A coworker of mine was accidentally elected constable when his girlfriend wrote his name in for an unsought seat. Not so fun story: Constables here have virtually no training but are able to carry guns as if they were cops. As a result, they shoot people with…

I was there too. I have some very bad photos of it somewhere. That said, the An-124s have been relatively frequent visitors to PHL over the years.

I fully believe children should be seen and not heard. But I think the real pussification of America began when people began treating dogs and cats as anything more than animals that we kept around because they did a job. I’d never give any quarter to a person who sadistically causes pain or discomfort to any animal,…

What's with the giant cardboard license plates on every car?

Dogs belong in the cargo hold. I don't care how precious your neurotic little shit factory status symbol is, it's not a person. It is baggage.

“A Piece of Cake” by Derek Robinson is a great read about pilots in the Battle of Britain that touches on the Polish efforts. It's been many years since I've read it, and I recall that it's not entirely charitable, but gives credit where due.

Pretty sure it lifted off and set down again.

Yeah, cuz Amtrak has averaged about four fatalities a year for the last 20 years while highways managed 24,000 last year. The Amtrak crash in Philly was an anomaly, and a relatively small one at that.

I for one welcome our office chair overlords.

This’d make an outstanding GIF to share on Facebook with the title, “OMG, these guys never had a chance!!!1!,” or some shizzle like that.

Whatever they were cast from, they heated up fast and stayed that way long after you turned them off.

Does it have the cast iron dome light fixtures that get hot enough to sear flesh? That's the most enduring memory I have of the string of Ford Fairmount and Mercury Zephyr company cars my dad had when I was a kid. I remember the seatbelt stickers too.

I hope his friends are Loyale, and bail him out of GL.

Pistons and jets work on the same principle: Suck, squeeze, blow and go.
