I see what you're saying, but if someone is having so much trouble getting going they should probably worry about how they'll be steering in those conditions.

I originally misconstrued your comment as some statement that Chris Christie's governorship was actually one big back to the future reference. Got as far as the search bar before I realized what you meant. I was quite disappointed.

Hey, we don't all live in the boonies!

Yeah. My friend is looking at entry level luxury/sport/whatever sedans (the 320i currently being the strongest contender), and I said "what about volvo?" We took a look, nothing even remotely worth considering. I was bummed!

Of course this is satire, and I love it, but you better check your phase diagram for steel! It might not melt, but a few other things might happen!

Ha! Doubtful. I'm sure he does very very well, but he owns a very small company that delivers petroleum products to local businesses. A little different than the jetting around the world with thousands of people at your beck and call.

How did you take the news that Merriam-Webster et al. have decided to include "figuratively" in their definition for literally? I hope that this season continues to defend sense and reason!

A guy I know once said "oh my goodness, when I got back from China I kissed the ground and thanked God for OSHA and the EPA, and I own an oil company!"

I think one thing that really exacerbates the situation is the fact that as a male, unless you're participating in this, you generally don't see it. The same thing applies for any other discrimination and hate.
Also, I think a lot of people think that the extent of how women are treated on the Internet is with some…

I'm guessing that the weight will be shaved all around, so the distribution will stay pretty similar. If the body panels are all losing weight, the affect should be pretty evenly distributed.

Do you think the WRX/STi is actually juvenile? I think I do. When I was in college I always wanted one, but got something else once I graduated... and now I fear that by the time I'm looking to get a new car it will indeed be too juvenile for my tastes.

Are you going to use a wood chipper?

I agree. Even as an american myself, I probably have some prejudice against american makes.

620 horses is insane, and beats plenty of supercars, but do you folks think the Z06 itself is a supercar? Methinks it isn't.

*in the safety of your own driveway before NOT using it on the side of a busy interstate in a storm.

Well, if they're under the car they're clearly doing it wrong. ;)

It was also found that a mobile app company didn't encrypt it's data. So, yeah, exciting.

That's the exact opposite of my advice. If anything, I use a lower gear to get more engine braking and discourage me from going too fast. Accidents probably aren't going to happen because you lost traction while accelerating, they will happen when you're fruitlessly attempting to slow down or turn.

The luftwaffe actually committed many many war crimes and were active in the Holocaust. Of course this doesn't say anything about this particular pilot, but I was shocked how extensively the wehrmacht, luftwaffe, and civilians (!) collaborated with the nazis.

Well, one thing I'm wondering is do they put summer tires standard on cars down south, or do they just default to all-seasons?
