Damn 60s, you sexist!

Apples and Oranges.

+1 for best GIF ever.

Misleading article title and content. This is not a real-time report of deaths and births. It clearly says "Statistical Simulation Based on U.S. Birth/Death Rates".

I've never owned a Golf R, but I have owned a 427-hp, RWD Camaro SS, and yes, you could totally turn off the traction control. And yes, I often explored its limits.

This.

How the hell is this thing 2,600 lbs? That still seems like an awful lot for this class of car. Still, you can't argue with a weight-to-power ratio of ~13.2:1.

I take issue with this because I'm a "real" bass player and sometimes I use a pick - it depends on the sound I'm after. A picked bass sound is awesome with the right technique, and it has been accomplished by many famous bassist ranging from Paul McCartney to Chris Squire (my favorite bassist).

I always liked these - basically they're a better-looking Tercel.

My brain just could not fathom that this was real — it seemed like a hyperrealistic video game. The YouTube page is all in Russian, which Chrome translated (badly). Do you know anything more about this video?

And who's to say you can't modify your newer car to turn off certain features (pull a few fuses)? Unless that is, it becomes illegal.

As long as it had the torque of the gods...absolutely yes. A torquemonster would be so deliciously awesome, kinda like how some guy stuffed a Cummins turbo-diesel into a '70 Monte Carlo.

Espresso in the morning, sometimes a caffeinated soda at lunch. Never anything after that, or I'm up all night, which would require more caffeine the next day, and on and on to a viscous cycle. Caffeine, like all other drugs must be handled with respect and moderation.

"Tercel's toothpick-thin halfshafts..."

In some ways, cable TV is sort of like a health insurance risk pool. You pay a very high premium for services and content you don't necessarily use but that others do, with the added disadvantage of being forced to watch commercials.

You do realize that in the general election, in addition to voting for the president (which doesn't really count anyway) you are also voting for local and state officials, as well as local, state, and federal laws, right?
