“When is the last time you saw someone waiting in line three days in advance to order a car?”

The bic pen trick worked on kyptonite locks with cylinder keys which haven’t been used in a decade+ since that problem came out. Kyrptonite offered replacement locks to people so very few of them are still in use.

“Frankly, I would hope any officer who’s pulled somebody over would take that opportunity to educate them on the laws they’ve broken rather than just billing them”

Jesus, I want to punch this guy in the face for how many times he says shit like “There’s no roadmap for this kind of project” (you mean aside from the literal book Converse engineering wrote, the forums dedicated to V8 volvo conversions, etc?) and “we wanted to do something really unique” (you mean aside from the…

Skip to about a minute and a half in, to avoid a bunch of gigantically douchey “I’m a big deal on youtube” talk.

Check out that stylin’ 2009 Garmin Foretrex 401...

Is that a Foretrex? Good lord.

Ummmmm, yeah, they don’t to shoot people just for taking photos. You watch too many movies.

You’re a fucking idiot.

Re: stop-light-piece-flash guy:

As has been discussed numerous times here in the comments: the pre-refresh W211 platform is shit, and that includes the E55 AMG.

Exactly. I have never seen so much bitching and moaning from a single job as I do from bartenders. Happens on reddit regularly. Greet them the wrong way. Order a difficult to make drink. Stand in the wrong place. Bitch bitch bitch bitch. These people rake in tax-free income and all they can do is complain.

So, we’ve gone from:

Why is everyone giving the pilot blowjobs? These winds must have exceeded the plane’s crosswind rating, in which case, the question is: why weren’t they paying attention to the weather (ie why did they fly to an airport they couldn’t land at)?

I wondered the same at first, but airport beacons are not the fast/jittery/random. They’re very distinct, clear pulses. There’s also no sign of runway lighting, etc.

The pre-w211 refresh cars are abhorrent. Spend some time reading on the E55 forums and you’ll see the various nightmares.

Everyone thinks this is a great idea, and then the people seriously considering it check into the maintenance issues and find that the E55 was pretty unreliable, mostly because of the shit w211 platform it’s based on. The forums for E55 owners are full of various problems. These cars were still very much from the…

*forehead slap* Duh! Of course. The gear. Thank you!

The “one huge flaw” in my book is The Wind Rises, which is almost infuriatingly apologist/sugar-coating Japan’s role in WW2. It came out amongst increasing revisionism by the last decade or so of conservative Japanese politicians.

Then he moved out to Tokyo, got a girlfriend, and he invited me out to Bali last year. I said yes. We did acid and fell in love.”
