I'm just old enough to remember this on TV: http://youtu.be/TNU90DQn5lw

4WD goes back to the late 1890s: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-whee…

"...paint was done by G.S. Roy, a well known Canadian artist"

My 2013 MINI has no spare (afaik only the non-S versions have a spare). It didn't come with fix-a-flat either, but did come with standard run flats. The space were the tire is stored in non-S versions is partly occupied by the center exhaust in the S and JCW versions. Part of the structure that actually holds the…

I'm just outside of Philadelphia, USA and in my little town and in the neighboring one literally across the river, there are small, unattended fruit and vegetable stands left out for hours (EDIT picture doesn't want to post??):

I actually *liked* Speed Racer. But this looks horrible.

I'd rather have the stock Fiero than drive around in this fake, no matter how good it looks on the outside.

I use the free Pandora (rarely, at home) but when I am driving, it's my purchased music on my iPhone hooked up via the AUX input in the MINI. For some reason, there is bluetooth connection to make calls with the phone but not to transmit any other audio, like music, so that's out. I can also play music from a tiny…

Help how, exactly? I suspect the very last thing the engineers want is to put the rover anywhere near another lander or rover. The rovers carry very specific equipment to do the job they were built for. And other than photographing a crashed vehicle and possibly using the imaging to study the wreck, there's nothing…

Add the oldest steel-hulled warship afloat in the world, the ex-USS Olympia, to your list if you haven't already. Olympia, a protected cruiser, was built at Union Iron Works in San Francisco, CA and commissioned in 1895. The ship is a unique design, the only ship of her class. She was the fastest cruiser built at…

I can't imagine buying a game these days without doing basic research for reviews and the like. Hell, I check reviews for just about everything I buy online.

Lego as we know it today (the plastic bricks) have been around since 1949 and will probably be here long after Minecraft fades into obscurity.

Eh, it's neat and all I s'pose, but I prefer the subtlety of Singham:

It's amusing that they found inspiration for this eyesore in such a beautiful building that will still be there long after this one is closed down.

That's as close as I have gotten but if you poke around online you may find interior photos...

The old power house, long disused.

It's not abandoned. There is a military Veterans center at the site now, as well as a recycling facility. Also, each year a "haunted house" is put on, somewhat to the consternation of people who think it's in poor taste, given the school's history.

Great story, well done.

If you can keep that up for 3 days straight, I salute you sir!

10? 4 or 5 for me is a lot, always had been. Much more than that and I start to lose interest.
