I produced a line of Carribean-flavored kettle chips with a chef friend a few years back. Jerk Chicken. Picante Salsa. Lime Pepper. Rum BBQ. That sort of thing. Had a little success for about a year, which was nice. But, by god, we came to realize that the kettle chips, while satisfyingly crunchy, were like chewing on…

Urban millennial here, who is actually interested in buying a premium motorcycle in the next few years: Harleys are tainted in our demographic.

Poor Zonda, mounted like a fish on the wall.  What an ignoble fate.

Thanks for the reasonable and balanced approach to the IOM-TT

Which is why I prefer Delta since they fly out of my small regional airport to all the big cities I want to go enjoy a long weekend at and don’t want to drive to. I get my basic fare, wait until the day before the flight and spend the extra $19 to get upgraded to Delta+ seating because too many people weren’t willing…

I don’t understand the hand wringing over economy class seats. You are paying as little as possible to get to your destination safely and (sometimes) on-time. The airlines have recognized that the only driver for 95+% of all airfare purchasers is price, so they de-content and cram seats in so that they can compete on…

I was just about to post something similar. I think it doesn’t occur to a lot of people (or is never explained to them) that the two are separate. In fact, this lady is probably lucky that the bank hasn’t demanded she pay up the balance in full. If I recall from my last car loan, part of the stipulation is that you…

Idea: Don’t spend six-figures on a rapidly-depreciating asset that is a physical manifestation of your wife’s disappointment.

Where have I seen that paintjob before?

On one hand, removing the human driver requirement removes a ton of design limitations. For example, you don’t need controls, seats, doors, windows or an interior.

That exposed linkage is the sex. 

BMW i3, the interior that others will still be catching up to for years to come:

Cool! Plus it has 80 less wings than a Civic Type R.

To be honest over here in the UK it doesn’t seem to be any different than any other year.

I love the fact that it’s 2018 and we’re still jumping bikes over shit like its the 70s.

These are lift bridges and if they expand too much they are stuck closed. Since it also gets more than 100 degrees colder than this on a regular basis, they have to account for shrinkage as well when designing the tolerances.

People in the South East are laughing at this. I have never seen a bridge needing to be watered before. 

What is going to be the determining factor? Finding the fastest line around a track is easy, then having a computer follow that line is easy. Racing is fun becasue a person can’t recreate the same lap, lap after lap. Robot racing will be a snore fest, have fun.

Sadly, it seems the ratio of price to power is directly connected to the douchebag level of the owner. That’s why Mustangs, Camaros and Challengers attract the worst crowd at car shows - it’s the most horsepower for the dollar. Same deal with Tesla - while they’re pricey, they’re still half the cost of anything else…
