Yet another example of how the so-called War on Drugs isn't worth it. It turns police into animals and innocent people into victims of overzealous officers.

The problem is you'll spend more money refurbing an old boat than it's worth, or more importantly, than comparable working boats on the used market are worth. What's needed is a way to make money recycling scrap FRP. Unfortunately, I don't have the imagination to figure out what that would be. In the meantime, it's…

Unlike old cars or appliances, fiberglass boats have practically no scrap value and are not easy to recycle. Old wooden boats will eventually return to the soil, but fiberglass lasts forever. The boats shown in the story may have originally been purchased by wealthy people, but they were probably owned by someone…

Snapper riding mowers as well as their self-propelled walk-behinds have the same set up. Head down to your newest garden center to check it out.

As a matter of fact, I was on the exit row two flights yesterday. The two people adjacent to me did exactly the same as I did. And for the record, I'm anything but a douchebag. I don't drive exactly at the speed limit either like I'm sure you do 100% of the time.

Neutral: How Can Volkswagen Be A Hit In The US Again? Much as we love the idea of the GTD, there has to be more than that.

Not to worry, the grounded-to-the-ground styling has you covered.

Meh. I never turn my phone off anyway. In the four flights I've already been on this week, I've noted that none of my seatmates do either. Although, it will be nice to be able to listen the last few minutes of the "This American Life" podcast during the descent and landing phase of the flight.

A couple of weeks ago…

The CVT is fine for normal driving. It would be terrible for autocrossing or track days, but who does that in an Outback anyway?

The one thing Subaru could do better is technology integration. I'm driving a rented 2014 Chevy Impala (damn that's a nice car!) this week that makes my 2013 Subie look positively…

I actually remember the 1982 article when they did it in a diesel Jetta from that era, non-stop and without refueling. It was also where I learned the term "condom catheter". In that attempt, they increased the car's fuel capacity by putting an additional fuel tank where the spare used to be. I think they'd hoped to…

I was going to go with 1904 S&M Simplex, built by Carleton Raymond Mabley and his brother-in-law Albert Proctor Smith in New York City out of imported Mercedes parts. The company eventually became the Crane-Simplex Automobile Co.

Yes, there is ~1.5 mile long underground train (or you can walk in the adjacent tunnel, nice African sculpture exhibit between A and B!) that connects the 6 concourses (which is the local terminology). The worst part of ATL is the crowds. It's gotten crazier and crazier there over the last 15 years. Since they opened…

What we really need is someone to make a video where we can hear the engine note of that itty-bitty turbo three...

In my case, with rear facing seats the rear windshield would be covered with a heavy layer of vomit. If I can't see out of the front windshield I get massively carsick.

The Atlanta location isn't much better. It's on the site of the now-demolished Ford plant at the eastern end of the runways for the ATL airport. It will also be just around the corner from the original Dwarf House restaurant, AKA Chick-fil-A.

Tortured metaphors are the way of things at Jalopnik, don't you know?

I had an '88 Ranger with the 2.3 and drove the wheels off of that thing. Great little truck that I wish I still had. All this is despite the fact the four-pot wouldn't pull a greasy hair out of a cat's ass. The thought of my old truck with a 302 sends little furry animals all up and down my spine. Oh yeah, NP every…

This.

3.) CVT's with designated ratios

I'm with you on this. It's pretty much pointless on a manual transmission car and even more so on an automatic. The newer Subies have a button to disable the hill-holder. I've never had mine turned on in over a year and 17,000 miles.
