Someone sponsored by Scion and Rockstar Energy, whose PR people come up with prepackaged content for you like this, is “an underdog”?

Perhaps something’s going on at the plant that shouldn’t be? That’s usually why reporters nose around, and it’s pretty common for environmental things, in particular, to get bypassed or ignored. The state and local governments are probably happy to look the other way, but the public would be pissed.

So, is there any physical evidence? A police report? Anything except a PR release from Tesla? You’d think Tesla would have no compunctions about posting pictures of the damage. Police don’t know who the guards are? Bullshit - they would have been listed as witnesses.

And yet our dear writer felt it necessary to inflate the percentage loss by 20%.

Jesus christ back away from the GIFs. Stop chewing up my bandwidth and my battery life and making your page scream “LOOK AT ME MOTHERFUCKER” while I’m trying to read the text.

It’s a bit tough. The price is quite high. On the other hand - this car appears to be cosmetically near perfect, save a tiny bit of paint damage. It has probably the most desirable wheels. Engine bay looks very stock/unbutchered. The headliner looks intact - that alone is holy-shitsnacks amazing (i’d be shocked if…

Almost everything you’ve said is wrong.

NASA doesn’t endorse anything....

Watney looks to science and training, something provable/demonstrable. Looking to “god” is neither provable nor demonstrable.

Go look up “faith” in the dictionary.

I believe brake fires on a rejected takeoff are permitted on a rejected takeoff test, as long as they don’t spread beyond the brake, within the expected response time. The wheels have temperature/pressure safety releases to keep the tires from rupturing.

It’s criminal that nobody has mentioned Roadkill yet. Is there no love for Freiburger and Finnegan? They are all the things that reality TV isn’t, and they’re reality “TV.” You know how you usually can’t watch a reality show without wanting to punch one of the people on, it in the face? Sometimes within a minute?…

Touchscreen interfaces are not a “finally for pilots.” They’re purposefully not used in cockpits because you have no tactile feedback for both making sure you’re pressing what you intended to (ie, you can place your finger, make physical contact with the button, and stop pressing it if you feel your finger slip) but…

ISIS doesn’t give a shit about the US, friend, beyond making people like you scared of them.

My first impression is: “Message seen by recipient.”

Airshows are where some of the most dangerous flying in the world can be found. Not only are you performing high-speed maneuvers very low to the ground, but thousands of anxious fans line the runways to get a glimpse of the action up close. However, this risk was mitigated by the best training system in the world.

#1: NEVER use a powerwasher in an engine compartment. You’re going to force water into connectors, get it into bolt threads which will then corrode, damage gaskets, etc. Electrical connectors are rated to keep splashed water off them, maybe a direct stream, but absolutely not pressure washer streams.

Incredibly slow and hard to maneuver so the fleet protecting it can’t move much either and it can’t evade anything faster than a sailboat, massive radar profile in a time where modern warships are being built that have low radar returns, powerplants/systems not designed for quiet operation so subs could hear it a…

How do they not know who was driving? There’s tons of video, including of the drivers getting out of the cars!

Landlords don’t evict people. They file in court to start eviction proceedings. Judges issue orders of eviction.
