I think we need another round of this, but for paint and body shops. I applied most of the the things listed here when I had some damage repaired to my truck, and they still failed spectacularly at it.

Possibly even more than I hate furnace servicemen.

This sort of reminds me of a conversation I had with my family a couple days after the shooting. They were talking about the number of firearms and the amount of ammo the guy had, and I casually mentioned that I had more than that. They all stopped talking and just stared at me. Most of my family hates guns, so we…

As others have said, thank you for bringing some sense to this madness.

Landing in Chile? You could say the pilot was

I HATE that stuff. My Mom put something similar up in our Kitchen several years ago, and it is just a giant dust trap. What is worse though is we had our furnace serviced, and they walked a soot-filled pipe through the house. That wallpaper sucked it all up, and now you can't touch it without turning it or yourself…

That's the connection's theoretical maximum speed, not the drive's actual speed. SATA III is 6Gb/s. SATA II is 3Gb/s. Real life speeds will always be slower than that due to several factors. It would take an impressive SSD array with an incredible RAID controller to max out a SATA III connection. If you are lucky,…

Now I'm sad. I have to drive to Ohio to visit one of these magical sounding places.

It's not being covered because they are already covering my life. There is just a bit of a hold up in production because they have been unable to obtain enough beer and hookers. The director wants to do this right, and I look forward to the results.

Moar powerz? Yes plz!

#3 Got me when I bought my truck. I never thought about a new vehicle being damaged until I found silver paint overspray and an un-buffed area from a paint repair, and some body shop dust hiding in a couple spots of the interior. It went downhill from there. As best as I can tell, my truck had three coats of paint on…

I wish I would have seen this yesterday. I just don't know which rental story I would have chosen. There was the time I got stuck with a totally pimped out red PT Cruiser, and got laughed at by a crowd of high schoolers. Another time I got a Caliber that was possessed (the CVT would shift to the lowest ratio possible…

I'm not sure I agree that it wouldn't do much damage, but I have no desire to find out for myself. However, I'd agree that it was probably a redneck firecracker. We have a lot of dumb people around here...

This is the first year we can buy "consumer" level fireworks here in Michigan. Before now, we had to drive to other states to get them, or attempt to satisfy our pyromaniac tendencies with fountains or sparklers. He might just have not known what to expect from it.

Not everywhere. Come to Michigan. They really don't care what lane you drive in here. The left lane is just considered the fast lane.

I've already seen them mentioned, but there are two things that drive me nuts.

I once sat next to an F40 at a stoplight when I was about 12. It was on the back of a car hauler, so it wasn't as exciting, but it was my first time ever seeing one in person, and it randomly appeared just a few feet away from me. My mother ignored my request to follow it :(

Assuming there are no physical hardware changes, it sounds like I'm a BIOS flash and a driver update away from having my own GHz card.

This thing totally needs to be donked out with eye-searing color flip paint, gull-wing doors out back, lambo doors up front, some sweet altezza tail lights, a crazy body kit, three wings, and neon under body lighting. It won't help, but it wouldn't hurt it either.

Fun fact: BMW transmissions use roosters.
