If you ever take the last train on Sunday night to any major city in Switzerland, you will see that it is filled with soldiers returning to their base. They make up about 90% of the passengers on the train, and they stretch it out until the last available train. So, it would seem that the entire Swiss military takes…

This is usually the hand signal I associate with menstrual cramps. And yes, she is usually leaving in my car, because I did not telepathically know to buy chocolate on my way home.

I have always had a strange affinity for French cars, and in 1984 I fell in love with a Renault R5 Turbo II. That tiny car just looked so muscular.

The "No toilet paper in the toilet" thing is common in Mexico, and anywhere south of there, and many other places in the world. That was one of the first issues I had to deal with when my wife moved in with me. She is from Ecuador, but had been in the US for 2 years, and was not aware of the fact that you did not need…

The really devious part was inviting the TSA in to screen everybody. Instant gridlock.
He's just pissed that all of the pre-game parties were in NYC, and the fact that most of the country believes that the game was actually played in NYC.

It is great to see a major league racing series that creates specs for engines that will truly advance the power and efficiency of production engines, unlike NASCAR, which is still stuck in the past. The F1 engines reflect the general direction of real world production engines, and there is a lot of technology here…

I can't tell if you are joking or not, but what the Hell - Riding "Shotgun" means he was in the front passenger seat.

You and the OP sound like every newbie on the Forums. You buy a car that cab be anything from 8-15 years old, and expect everything to work like a new car. The problem you experienced is the most common issue experienced with these cars. But your description of "chasing" the issue is the whole problem. You can't chase…

I live in Charlotte NC, and on this past Christmas Day, this exact scenario happened to a local family. A man was driving his car while texting, and he crossed the centerline, and struck another car head-on. He killed his 13 month old daughter, his wife suffered serious injuries, and he was barely harmed. The people…

Wow, that list of restaurants that are open on Christmas Day is remarkably depressing.
Mine is not the usual "I choose not to Celebrate Christmas" or "I am not a Christian" story. While I do celebrate Christmas, I have spent the last 2 Christmas's in London UK (not London KY, which would be slit-your-wrist depressing),…

Re: Inspirational side of Russian Dash Cams - Many of those were indeed touching, and those people were should be commended for their efforts. But I was also struck by the sheer number of assholes who simply chose to drive right on by. How busy are you that you can't afford to stop for a minute to help an old woman…

Hell, I did it in an MGB that we stuck tiny mud tires on. But, I agree with you completely.

I thought you were joking about the name of the Mitsubishi, a Pajero. Do car companies not Google the names of their vehicles before actually choosing the name? For the Spanish impaired, it literally means a jack-off.

Wow. She only manages to look slightly pissed. She makes Victoria Beckham look absolutely expressive by comparison.

That rear suspension set up looks like it has as least as many hard-to-replace bushings as my BMW 3 series. It is going to be buckets of fun in about 6-8 years.

Well, I live in the First World for part of the year. For the other part, I live in Ecuador, which is a solid Second World, but borderline Third World, given the grinding poverty, undrinkable water, low value on human life, daily power outages, pseudo-communist dictatorship, mufand the fact that it is generally a…

I think you just went one level above #FirstWorldProblems.

Well, someone has to puke the cotton.

Now that would be helpful! Post some pics!

This is just about the most lame looking hack I have seen on this site. Have some pride. At least paint the wood black.
