While the explanation holds, I must wonder if part of the reason red is still used is that it helps to hide any rust which may form, keeping it looking better for longer, thus extending the maintenance interval.

That and red paint is/was cheap.

Downey or Snuggle, whichever you prefer.

I’m pretty sure that’s the flag of the Puerto Rico National Football Team... 

I would gladly see anyone mixed up in this, male or female, behind bars no matter their political affiliation.

Except following distance. I can 100% guarantee that any autonomous driving car would be programmed to maintain a larger following distance than just about any stop and go driver out there typically maintains.

Yes, small town D’s definitely stay quieter than big city ones. I moved from OH to rural GA in the 7th grade. I learned very quickly to keep my developing opinions on religion and politics to myself.

What about cars with only 1 exhaust pipe off center? Does the interior of the car count too? If so, then nearly every single car is asymmetrical what with there being a steering wheel on one side and not the other. Does asymmetrical badging bother you?

A shorter door is able to open to a greater angle in a confined space, like say a parking space. It’s simple trigonometry.

Okay, but think about what happens if that truck rear ends another vehicle on the way to the trail. That impact didn’t look too terribly violent... only a minor fender bender would’ve thrown all that gear into the car in front of it.

It’s always a good idea to tie your shit to the CAR and not just the rack.

It has been my experience that proper aftermarket racks are much sturdier than factory racks. Often the factory racks are not really attached to any structure, just the sheet metal of the roof. Aftermarket racks typically place their towers near the edge of the roof where curves and bends provide stiffening to the…

Tailgate: If it hinges at the top, that’s stupid. If at the bottom, like a pickup’s tailgate, that makes some sense. It gives you access to the space, yet has a fixed rear window. Sure you can’t put stuff above the tailgate from the back, but you can from the back seat. Also, technically you shouldn’t stack stuff…

Combine “piaggs” with what sounds very much like soccer on the TV in the background and I’m calling BS on this happening in Maryland.

Wait. Do these require that BOTH hands be on the wheel? Who here drives with their hands at 9 and 3 100% of the time? Especially on long, straight, boring interstate drives? No one, that’s who. Yes, the “free hand” won’t always be doing something else, but it won’t be on the wheel. It’ll be over on the arm rest, or…

I don’t think he meant stop and go traffic and 30 mph on city streets, I think he meant stop and go and 30 mph on interstates during rush hour.

so the next logical step is to deploy anti-rocket missiles to take out the anti-missile rockets threatening the anti-missile missiles, which protect South Korea from the North’s ballistic missiles.

Just where in the hell do you find a pickle that is big enough to use as the bread in a sandwich!? I’ve eaten some big pickles in my day, but never have I seen one that is big enough to make a decent sandwich.

I’d suggest slicing out a spear from the pickle, nestling the hot dog in the resulting V shaped trough, then serving the spear alongside as a garnish.

I guess technically, I’d suspect it is rotated 180º about the axis which is perpendicular to the screen and not upside down...
