My cat will never be smarter than a human. Mostly because I was capable of microwaving myself a breakfast burrito at the age of fourteen and he still hasn't figured out that toilet paper costs money and is thus not a toy.

I stand corrected.

Correction: It was a DB9 at the beginning of Quantum of Solace.

Movies should revolve around people who can act. Not around cars. Because cars can't act. That's a fact. Just look at KITT's acting. Atrocious, is what it is. Damn car couldn't act it's way out of a paper bag.

And the video game sucked.

Soon. Soon my plans will be complete! First the crappy video game! Then the crappy movie! Then bankruptcy via the Squaresoft effect! Mwahahahaha!!!

Extra Fucking This

TWO-ah-TAR-ah?

Small thing to point out.

It has to do with increasing sound damping. It's a stupid way to do it when you could just cover the hood in an extra layer of plastic but noooooo, the engineers don't want to do that because covering parts of the engine instead of the hood weighs less. Not by much but still. Frankly, the hood is designed to hide…

I like the tusks.

My mother owned a Citation. It was a crappy vehicle that cannot be redeemed simply because it was in a crappy segment.

But Patrick! It's the old people's fault! They'd buy interesting cars but you know how it is. They're tired of driving cars around. Shuttling their 30-something kids to soccer practice, ballet class, and home from a late night studying at the pub. It's an appliance to them now. There's no fun in driving cars…

I hate it when people know my behavior better than me. I began to salivate with bloodlust and my blood pressure skyrockets when that person is a stranger on the internet.

Approximately 50% of a car's safety is operating at the given speed limit of a road. The road isn't designed to handle anything higher than 10 miles/hour above the posted speed. For instance, a curve at 45mph is slightly on an angle so that the car is less likely to slide off the road. Double your speed and the…

I don't think his car is worth my wife. My aunt on the other hand. She's also over-weight, anemic in the power band, and feels she's worth more than she really is.

That's a common law outside of Quebec, in Canada, as well.

I disagree with #2. To a point. If properly done electric steering can allow for more available space in an engine bay, worthwhile feedback, speed sensitive steering ratio, and variable weight in the steering. And it doesn't even require a mechanical linkage to the wheels. All you need to do is make a pair of…

I don't think that paper cones are the real issue in #6. The submitter seems more vexed by the use of full-range (which can come with an inner paper cone) instead of the use of two-way (tweeter and woofer) single unit speakers. Co-axials have two magnets which can work together to harmonize or work under different…

I'd watch out. I hear he likes to sneak up on people and HACK them to pieces with his murderous axe!
