That's basically what the VW XL1 does, their super efficient hybrid carbon fiber thing that costs a billion dollars.

Those are called rear fogs.

Because Redbull and Mercedes do that to them on the track regularly via F1... Why not give it to a normal person who happens to drive a lot of super cars and hyper cars, and get an honest review out of it. Then put it in the hands of a race driver and let him drive it like it's reportedly meant to be driven.

I see…

Volvo 242 Turbo, buy mine for under 8k! Please.

The rear Emblem on the hatches acts as the trunk handle, but also as the camera:

People should also be taught how to brake without ABS but that's not a reality. Make cars safer and easier, that's the direction we should be going.

Modern cars use the ABS sensor to determine if one wheel has less air in it than the other. No messing with internal parts when swapping wheels. Always works.

VW does a good job of this with a light sensor in the cockpit. When it gets dark outside, the cluster is dimmed entirely except for the needles, so you can't see a damn thing.

But I agree, headlights/tails should be auto on when you turn the car on, and auto off when the key leaves the ignition. Have a physical switch…

VW's flip out when in use, and flip back in when not. Your argument is invalid.

Yeah.... a lot of people don't understand that. I can't tell you how many cars I see without headlights on at dusk/dawn or when it's pouring. They become a hazard to everyone around them. DRL's should also include tail lights, not just headlights, because that's arguably more important to everyone else driving…

If you don't wear a seatbelt you're a fucking idiot. Seatbelts save lives and are of no inconvenience at all.

If you have some twisted rationalization for not wearing a seatbelt, it proves once again that you are a fucking idiot.

If you are reckless enough to not care about your own life, you clearly don't care for…

As a beverage manager in a restaurant, we take corked/oxidized/etc. wine's very seriously. If there's even the slightest hint of taint, we get a new bottle. It's our job to make the guests evening great, and spoiled wine is a quick way to ruin that.

When I get a corked bottle back from a server, I double check to…

We went pretty simple, and small, so we didn't get a ton of gifts. What we use the most:

Wine glasses, Bowls, Silpat (silicone cooking mat), steak knives, and the fancy knife I bought with cash.

What we wanted the most and use the least: a nice carpet cleaner.


We didn't get any china or fancy partyware, because we…

Two things.

First and foremost, if it's spirituous, stir it, if it's got juice, shake it. Don't shake spirituous cocktails (it says to shake the manhattan), and don't stir things with juice (suggests stirring a bloody mary).

Secondly, don't put vermouth in a dirty martini.

I was about to ask.

It looks like there's a stylized F1 type car in there, the orange, with lots of black air ducts.... or am I just seeing things?

Recently bought a Das pro with the brown switches. It's been awesome so far. I just want to type on it all the time, but I never have anything to type.

I don't know why i've waited so long to go to mechanical.

This was exactly what I was going to say. Small trucks that are inexpensive. There's plenty of market for them, because not everyone can afford a $35k work truck, which is why you see more and more minivans-as-work-trucks floating around these days.

I'd also like to see some more actual compact cars. The bloat in the…

Can I recommend using a more floral/citrusy gin like an Old Tom style?

Also, if you wanted to, you could make the apple stuff into a shrub, and add 1.0 oz and top with water, same result, but the shrub keeps forever and you don't have to boil apples every time you want a drink.

He's doing what, a solid 45mph?
