Well done sir! Truck review of a truck being used as a truck. Casual off-road is something that people don't seem to understand. You're doing stuff that's way more serious than driving down a dirt road and yes, you need 4WD to do it but not so aggressive that you have grave risk of damaging your equipment. Happy…

I love how the pilot was like "That's a lot of snow isn't it?" It's like Minnesotan's asking "Cold enough for ya?"

These things are true. But he implies that even a commercially available handgun could be hidden from the rapist-scan. (I think I'm going to start using that term more often to describe body scanners.)

Or bigger ones. A friend of mine had his Prince Albert stretched out to a 00. That would definitely set off a metal detector since it jewelry was about the same diameter of the shackle on a master lock. Although if you used non-metallic jewelry, it wouldn't set it off.

Isn't the "Roman War Helmet" (i.e. McLaren) a sex act making this list only 82% genitalia-free?

At least Gary Hartstein has an actual MD as opposed to the majority of the people that have been covering this. I agree that the speculation is ridiculous but Jalopnik has been pretty good about keeping the speculation to a minimum and letting experts share their opinion.

I think about this when I fly. I figure, I've got piercings for a reason, so people can see them. I hope the TSA has enjoyed the show.

This looks like a way to launder money. They have no legal commitment to disclose donors nor is there a donation cap nor do they have to disclose the amount of money raised. This sounds really fishy to me.

In the context of this crash test, where the testing agency said that there is a "high risk of life-threatening injuries," it is a death trap. I understand that testing and usage are different things and I never said that 4 people on a motorcycle was safe either but this test is indicative of why this vehicle should…

I thought it was a well known fact that the Tata Nano was a death trap.

The anti-car people tend to come from places that very good public transit and owing a car is a pain in the ass at best. When you live in an apartment in a large city that has decent public transit, you can walk or ride the bus or train or bike. However, if you live in a suburb, you're pretty much limited to driving…

Hooray for intelligent conversation. I'm sure there are many people that would use public transit more if it were more effective. I actually live near Chicago, which has pretty damn good public transit compared to everywhere else that I've lived, but the only time it's useful to me is if I'm going downtown Chicago.…

Yeah, I looked at that too. It's kinda cool to see how companies evolve their logos over time if you look at Douglass Aircraft to McDonnell Douglass to Boeing.

Michigan Tech (Houghton, MI, my alma mater) rarely, if ever cancels due to snow. In fact, we have a celebration every year which we party in the snow. More info on Michigan Tech Winter Carnival here.

Goes back to my comments on how we need to teach people how to actually drive rather than teaching people to pass a bullshit "rules of the road" test that means precisely dick.

The very idea of going car-independent in the US is absurd. We have all of our cities zoned into residential, commercial, and industrial sections that are very large and spread out. Cars are not a matter of convenience, they are a matter of necessity for everyone that lives in the suburbs of a city and no amount of…

Win a race in the regular season, finish top 30, and attempt to qualify for 26 races, you are in.

Travis and Ralph, I like it when you guys do articles like this. It reminds me why I love cars and love racing and it also reminds me that there are people out there that see them as magical the same way I do.

Is that 35,000 lbf of thrust in afterburner or not? My thought is afterburner.

Focke-Wulf wasn't much better than Messerschmitt:
