A majority of the time I get out of my car to push someone out of the snow, I just tell them to ease into the gas real slowly and they drive off without me ever touching the car. People really need to understand the difference between static friction and kinetic friction.

I'd have to disagree. As area_educator said, the full scale models come from computer-generated instructions. A miniature Veyron with a functional roof, rear spoiler, steering, brakes, and 7-speed transmission with reverse made without instructions is cool as hell. Maybe its the engineering nerd in me talking, but I…

Cars-obsessed kids? How about Cars-obsessed 23-year-olds? Thats one of my favorite movies.

I'll have to go with NP on this one. 37.5K is not at all unreasonable for an Exige S in good condition, especially if well documented as the owner says.

At the time I couldn't have cared less. Lets just say I wasn't surprised it was still there. I could have left it that way for a week, it wouldn't go anywhere.

Whoever threatened to steal my old Escort wagon. Left the doors locked and windows up in a not-so-bad neighborhood, got out of work and there was a note on the driver's seat saying "if we want it we'll take it". It was a '94 Escort LX wagon with 180K+ miles on it, beat to hell. The next day, I left all the doors and…

I just dont like being lied to, especially in a blatant manner. And no, I dont believe they're harboring alien craft at A51.

Yep. Got a problem with the fact that I have a problem with it?

As I said, there's a difference between keeping a secret and openly denying solid evidence. I realize very well that the military keeps most of their shit under wraps. Hell, my friend's dad was working on a military project as a test pilot (I believe it was the B-2) for 7 years before his own wife and kids knew what…

Maybe its just me, but I dont see the logic in buying a game for $60, having it for a week or two, then dumping it at GS for 20 bucks. Hell, even if you get 30 bucks that just seems silly. I buy a game because I want to play it for more than a couple days (working full time and writing an undergrad thesis on the…

If you buy a game the day it comes out, then turn around and sell it via craigslist or ebay or the like a week later, you can get $45-50 back easily.

Right, because having some unidentifiable, never before seen by the public, aircraft flying over your neighborhood produces less panic and confusion than saying "Hey, we're going to be testing out an experimental aircraft in your area this week."

Small correction: 15 tonnes, which is equivalent to about 16.5 tons. Also, a gallon of 'liquid' does not have a set weight—thats a matter of density. A gallon of milk weighs more than a gallon of water.

Thanks Wikipe—er, tangorum. Its one thing to keep projects a secret, but why did the government outright deny the existence of the base until 2003? I'm not a conspiracy theorist myself, but the government's behavior towards Area 51 is nothing short of sketchy.

Just tell us what goes on at Area 51 and we'll shut up for a while. You dont even have to go real far into detail.

Never trade games in at Gamestop. If you buy a game from Best Buy, unwrap it, walk into Gamestop and trade it in you're lucky to get $10 in store credit from them. If you're not lazy, you can easily get 3 times as much money per game by using an alternate method.

Amazon reviews and CNET reviews. Between those two, I feel like I can form somewhat of an educated opinion on what I should and shouldn't buy.

If you watch carefully, you can see the cop raise his gun and aim it straight at the camera man. It was a deliberate move.

I had a 1.3 (the old version), but someone pulled the ol' permanent borrow. Figured I'd never get it back so I went ahead and bought a 2.0. I must say, the 2.0 is real nice to have—I've got the reflash connectors for every supported Subaru as well as EVO connectors so I can log and/or tune a whole lot more (though I…

I dont think that is quite the same...not to mention how terrible of a deal it actually is. 90% of the time either nothing changes or you end up paying more.
