Are we trolling today? Or just plain insane? If they abandon all the existing EU stories and still take the movies forward chronologically I will find and eliminate George Lucas and the Disney producers/execs who allowed such mental and emotional abuse of the established fan base.

No way. Just and appropriate is more like it. And probably far preferable and short term compared to a heavier fine or alternate probation/community service.

Indeed.

No Kidding! Has the staff never been to a home depot? Or had anyone with any home improvement skills over to work on something?

If you watch the video it's pretty obvious they would have been mostly alright. The cab of the truck did little more than a 90 degree turn, if you were safely buckled in.

Holy crap it's good to have commenting back. So many things from the Tumblr feed that I wanted to see some back and forth on!!!!

Very good point. A simple bookmark for it (in your bookmarks bar which you always leave open anyhow...) does just as good a job.

Yessss!!! First clapping man I've gotten in reply haha.

It would be alright if I didn't see/hear about someone drifting, especially to highlight the awesomeness of a particular car, for a VERY long time. It's wasteful, in more ways than one. Also, it is not something I really ever plan to do outside of perhaps practicing recovering from a situation in which I was already…

I've had one of those, worked great for a year or so, then the battery ended it's life.

lol, are you implying that Mr. Meehan should, just for the sake of homeowners 100+ miles away, make a significant investment of his own wealth just to prop up a certain segment of building restoration for a limited number of years (the stuff must run out eventually) and for an exceedingly limited profit (it will be…

Glad I'm not alone. Sorry I don't see a solution among these comments. Using Chrome/WinXP

Milwaukee has them, fairly certain.

+1's aren't really a io9 thing, more deadspin. But holy crap +1 to you good sir. Heineken line had me laughing like a fool here in my cubicle. Co workers all thing I'm strange/lazy now.

Yeah I realize they aren't in the same price point/class, but the new Passat (my own experience is with the TDI model, mostly optioned out) seemed to be a very high quality level. Now it's been a few years (8?) since I spent much time in a BMW (X5, 448i if I recall), I draw a pretty close comparison.

Does a VW Passat fall in this category as competition? Or is that more in line with the 5-series? I have such a hard time keeping track because every year the models seem to get bigger and bigger. I wish there were rules as to what qualified as a mid-sized sedan, which did NOT change annually. (or full sized,…

Glad I'm not the only one who see's through the ruse.

Wow, really? (I'm being serious... maybe also ignorant I guess). But you're telling me that they exist and have been shown to have a positive net effect to overall traffic congestion? (ie., they do not increase congestion in the remaining other non-high occupancy lanes). It would seem to me that they would either a)…

WGN radio had a bit this morning about the Illinois Dept Trans considering a plan to designate 1+ lanes as premium express lanes with the idea being drivers who wanted to beat traffic jams pay more and be granted access to them. So fricken stupid.
