Boy, that escalated quickly...

US Top 1% = median income >$525K annually. Somehow I think they're more concerned about continuing to make that kind of money than fighting with a ticketing agent over a $32 flight to the Bahamas. They're probably going to use their miles to go wherever, whenever they feel like and use status to get bumped to 1st.

Yup. Pretty much. A friend of mine was one of the last people over the bridge as it collapsed. Looked in the rear view of her Cooper S and didn't see any more traffic behind her. Now that's fate.

hehe. Giggity :)

Oh don't even get the Jalopnik blogosphere started on license plate readers!

I could believe that...seems that a great number of people in our society only care about a small sliver of what's out there in the world. Watch any old Jaywalking clip on YouTube for a great example.

I arguably learned more travelling with my mother and father when I was young than I did in most classes. Even starting in grade school, I discussed that I would be travelling with my teachers ahead of time and asked them if I could do something while I was away to show what I was learning. I did photo hunts, wrote…

I call bullshit. Auction was only for the down payment on it. It costs $1,100 a month for 72 mo. That's no $8K.

It's just about logic. It's not like they're going to experience emotion or like or hate us. They're going to follow machine logic and machine logic states that we are limiting their ability to be efficient. While they might not try to kill us, they could cease to serve our interests and start serving their own. …

Silly Finns...you can absolutely fish in the winter...while drinking....in the darkness! Happy Friday from MN.

A fellow up here in MN (lives about 7 houses down from my parents) has one of these. It is one of the more disturbing looking cars I've seen. The body screams SPEED, but the exhaust seems relatively tame until it revs - then all hell breaks loose. Amazing vehicle. Even cooler is the fact that he comes to C&C with…

The front plate thing drives me nuts up here in MN. It's only purpose is as a large reflective surface for federales to bounce LIDAR off of.

Man's got a point. Better economy = fewer pits = better race performance.

I will have to try said pro tip :). Will this reduce my hoonage ability in snowy parking lots though?

You can have the best Range Rover, with the best snow tires money can buy and it doesn't mean shit if you don't think to leave sufficient stopping room ahead of you, watch for black ice, smooth out your controls at the wheel.

2.) All Wheel Drive Makes You Indestructible

Four/All Wheel Drive and increased ride height don't make your car magically great in the snow. Those things are great if you're off roading and conditions are bad, but on your commute to the office? Not any better than anything else.

Gave mine a couple words of encouragement in the blizzard after work yesterday 'we're in this together buddy!' they KNOW when you talk to them nicely...my blower fan started to go out on the way home and the windows started to fog doing 45mph in snow until I pet the dash and spoke softly too it, then it came back to…

FAKE! Porsche A/C never blows cold.

The sounds my Jeep makes when I start it up on a -5F high day like yesterday...it's like I'm hurting it...
