I’d much rather have a fully loaded anything vs a base model whatever.

For what it’s worth, my dad bought a CX-5 for his wife about 3 years ago, then proceeded to put 130k miles on it without a single problem. Not statistically significant, just an anecdotal story. Also - I got in it and drove it around and I was really pleasantly surprised at how it felt and handled, and how peppy it…

Too cool! I thought my uncle and I did a good job shortening a Lincoln Town car body to fit our hot rod (hand-fab frame from scratch)... This thing looks to have some seriously clean lines and body panel fitment. Nothing like our amateur hour production. Master fabricator indeed. Any idea what it needs to rule the…

Look for Derek Whitacre’s reply below (kinja may not promote it to the top for a while), he’s got the goods!

Up! To the top of the comments, says I!

No one beats the ridiculously encyclopedic collective knowledge of Jalopnik! You should get Comment of the Week for this and the fabricator of this car should have some kind of YouTube tribute. The quality of the assembly and the design he achieved from a huge mish-mash of parts is amazing. With a few tweaks, would be…

Wow, that’s impressive.

amazing!

Just commenting here in the hopes that this, the correct answer, shimmies to the top of the comments. Great job!

I know a guy that knows what it is. Would you believe it started life as a 1969 Corvette? A one-off custom build.

Agreed, they need to cut out the frivolous loot (cosmetics) and increase the number of AR drops over pistols and shotguns. Searching 10 houses and not finding anything besides pistols and shotguns is extremely frustrating.

No. I’d rather people outside the blue circle just showed up on radar instead. The bleed out every second thing sucks if you try swimming somewhere. It literally takes like 5 minutes to cross the southern sound by swimming. Also if you get the bad luck of the draw on where the circle is placed, this could make games…

Exactly! Leaving ice cream residue in the cupholders wasn’t cool and very unprofessional, but other than that and the maybe bent wheel, I’m not seeing the huge crime.

There is absolutely nothing wrong, illegal, or immoral about charging the labor time set by the manufacturer and it taking far less time to actually do the job. For a Mercedes transmission service, I suspect the tech had to use a piece of equipment that cost many thousands of dollars. How about the multi-thousand…

If you want to get charged by the time it actually takes to do the work, don’t go to a dealership (or any shop?). Everyone Charges by the labor hour book. Sometimes it works out in your favor (got an old car with rusty bolts?), sometimes it does not.
I’ve worked with shops that charge based on the time taken (race…

Anecdotally I’ve noticed a big increase in the last year or two, especially ones that ride on their owners laps or sit on the floor in the cabin instead of in a carrier of some sort. The airport terminal was filled with dogs walking around last time I flew. Are more people realizing they can claim their dog is an…

Counterpoint: I am getting pretty sick and tired of so many dogs being on flights. It’s not fair to people with allergies, and then there was that time last year when a dog ran loose, peed in the galley, and shut down food service for my entire transcon flight.

Looks like Cali is an at will state so Google can fire them for almost any reason.

“Company social networking forums can be incredibly useful”

Internal corporate message boards exist for one reason: to find potential malcontents and remove them from the workplace. That there are people with significant positions and actual work experience who are, in this day, age and political climate, naive enough or just plain stupid enough to think otherwise is just…
