Post of the day! My new fav quote, one chapter per poop as a measurement of quality reading. This is how every book should be rated by intelligent reviewers. A bad book may become clean up material for your poop as it stays in the lavatory long enough that you run out of appropriate paper. A good book may be 5…

I cannot tell you how many cup holders I have seen in many different vehicles that are designed for only a a can of soda, and are located so far under the overhanging center console that you simply have to pour half of the drink out to use them. Also, a cup holder that only holds a can? Maybe that flies up in the…

I too read the entire column in amazement afterwards. Attribute that the to the excellent writing of Mr DeMuro. These vehicles are the ones I typically place in the category: Owned by drivers who operate their over-priced elevated ride height sedan in the “Oh My God I Better Ride The Brakes Through That Bend In The…

Most supercars/hypercars are a compromise offering little more use than going fast and posing. They are probably supposed to be like that. But one thing most do have is pretty good forward visibility. Obviously you need to have the commanding view out front that allows you the confidence to drive the hell out of…

I am glad you enjoy the cold, as for me, I love our often 100+ degree summers here in Oklahoma. Hanging out at the lake, swimming, fishing, pretty girls in very little clothing running around having fun.

Cooper's Hawks are notorious for hunting backyard bird feeders. They are highly adapted for pursuit of small agile songbirds.

I photographed a Fisker in Tulsa for the local dealer, beautiful long and low slung. Only downside to the car was the complete piece of crap GM 4 cyl paint shaker under the hood. It literally shook the car while idling and had a terrible exhaust sound. Really spoiled the entire experience with the car.

Often their is a predatory bird overhead that we don't typically notice. Red Tailed Hawks, Red Shouldered Hawks, Cooper's Hawks and Falcons will prey on birds like these. The hawks especially are well adapted to hunting in any environment, from desert to forest to swamp to urban.

No RE Howard?

Worked on tooling for multi-slide presses before. Fascinating to watch run. Spring making is generally a bizarre process from what you'd think.

Its not fast, its quick. Like the difference between a land speed record racer and a top fuel dragster, both may reach the same terminal velocitt but in very different ways.

A little more downforce is in order else you'll be joining one of the track flight clubs. Unfortunately the Skyline that went off at the Nurburgring did so with deadly consequences for a fan. Its great to see the Glickenhaus cars actually running on track.

We get them every spring in Oklahoma as our weather shifts from cold weather to warm. We don;t have any skyscrapers like NY does. Just a few tall buildings,.

I believe the current US administration ran on the platform of getting us out of the war in Iraq, and yet it continues and we committed more troops to it than ever. Not supporting one party over the other here, just stating that no matter what name is on the office door, the same old song and dance continues on.

Correct. But when you compare prices among the base model trucks, not the top flight models, they cost virtually the same for simply less truck. Not everyone who buys one wants or needs humongous towing capacity for sure, I don't, I need the ability to occasionally haul a sheet of plywood or other large object less…

I had a 1997 Dakota extended cab and it was 2" longer than the same year Ford F150 extended cab. Small truck my ass. What you are really getting is same gas mileage, virtually the same price. and less towing/work capacity.

Wars have been fought and cloaked in the guise of many reasons, but when you boil it down to the reality of it all, its fought over money and power. You can cloak a war in mantle of religion, but its always really about one group using force to take another's property and influence. The hue and cry of the anti-war…

One of the best I ever saw Zanardi make was at Vancouver (I think). He got tangled with Paul Tracy at the start and fell to the rear, then proceeded to run down the field and eventually passed Michael Andretti late at the chicane. When asked how he pulled off a pass where it was seemingly impossible (according to…

You mean the same culture and behavior exhibited by every other top flight professional athlete? They do not live by the same rules the rest of us live by.

Good to hear that. I've seen some photos of places up there way out in the wild that are a total wreck and nothing grows because the top soil is all gone.
