Yeah, I’m over here giggling going “oh my god, I can’t believe this thing.”

I’ve had several close calls while towing trailers for exactly the opposite reason. Numerous times while towing race cars but my favorite was when I worked for the city in parks’ maintenance.

Which is one of the easier places to just blow the toll booth and pay online.

Great story! I’ve done a few long trips in the short time between now and when I got my endorsement (it was the first rebellious thing I did when I turned 18). Never once have I exclaimed in anguish “why do I do this to myself?!” as some people might. I know exactly why, I love to ride. And that's what doing something…

Is the drogue chute standard equipment for B-52s or is it some sort of short field kit? Either way, 5000 ft is pretty impressive for something that big.

I feel the same way about luxury wagons. At least with a luxury truck, if I do decide to throw a deer carcass in the bed, I can wash it out with a hose.

There’s nothing like crashing with friends. Or making new friends after crashing.

So they reverse engineered an old GM engine? If you’re worried about having an overpowered engine, the thing that really matters for fuel economy is BSFC (brake specific fuel consumption). You get better BSFC with a more efficient fuel burn and tech like direct injection, variable valve timing, etc. get you that.

Cool! I’m secretly rooting for these guys as an underdog. It may be somewhat un-Jalop of me but I like the idea of affordable efficient transportation for the masses even if it’s not for me.

Yeah, my old region had to ask several people not to come back over skipping work assignments.

Man, I’m surprised I had to scroll this far to get to this.

I didn’t bother to read through all of the comments much less dip into the grey comments so I apologize if this has already been suggested. If/when you go to Whole Foods, you should park in the “high efficiency vehicle” parking spot(s). Technically, it is highly efficient at going over rough terrain so I suppose on…

I’ve worked in places that use equipment that can kill you quickly, easily, and in horrifying ways and getting killed by an assembly bot is terrifying to me.

It's a good thing I'm at work otherwise that would have been the first thing I did.

That’s what she said.

Aw! I have been fooled! V1.0.4 is out now and I guess it’s gotten much better than the alpha versions. I've only played beta besides the full release.

Small claims court is probably your acquaintance’s best bet. The shop performed the labor due to their own negligence. If they aren’t willing to make it right and still want to charge, small claims is the best way to go.

Glad to see that I’m not the only one using Remote Tech. Which is simultaneously the most interesting and most frustrating mod.

Maybe because they assume that astronauts will be clothed in tight fitting clothing. NASA is concerned about reproductive health but the only people working out a plan for what to do with human reproductive organs in space are the fine folks at PornHub.
