This is how to prep for a "road trip" in the literal sense, but completely misses the ball in the conceptual. I don't want to go on a road trip that was plagued by planning and schedules. I've done that. It's boring. I want to go on a road trip where you go "somewhere else"; the destination isn't really the reason why…

I actually looked at swapping my Boxster over to center lock wheels. The factory rims (only ones that fit without a chintzy adapter) are $1450 or so each (with rubber), plus $600 per hub for the center lock hubs. Total cost: $8200 assuming you only need 1 set of rims (I have a spare set for autocross) and you don't…

In theory, it's still stock car racing. Very few cars come with center lock hubs stock.

That is the cleanest toilet install I've ever seen. No exposed pipes or anything.

Capacitors typically drain pretty quickly, even when not being used: how long will this maintain a charge when the light is off?

Batteries convert electrical energy into chemical energy.

Not so much as a type of car, but a car culture:

Except that the GT3 version you DO buy for the 0-60 time, not the driving experience. It's more or less a factory race car. Even for the obscenely loaded, they are primarily bought as track cars. The "regular" 911 Turbo is plenty fast and you get plenty of driving experience from it, and don't pay the extra money…

I got some weird ones:

When are we getting the site redesign that hit Jalopnik on the other Gawker blogs?

But will it Baby?

My money's on a 986 Porsche Boxster (1st gen). They are (relatively) cheap, have absolutely nothing behind or in front of the axles, have 5 lug rims, and a permanent center divider between the seats.

Ugly.

These things are typically decided by 2 factors:

It was definitley the Boxster that got the trickle-down. It's the classic case of making a car from the parts bin. It worked out, but more so for Boxster owners than 911 owners. The headlights aren't the only thing shared:

Check your units - you should be using "Calorie" not "calorie". 1 Calorie = 1 kcal = 1000 calories.

You sit at your desk, trying to do enough to not get fired, while at the same time, trying to convince yourself not to quit.

In my experience, the software has more to do with this than the hardware. I assume that the standard Linksys firmware has a memory leak because mine would move at a crawl after a few days up but would be just fine after a reboot.

Why do we need to send letters in the mail at all? If I didn't need to receive replacement credit and debit cards once a year, I wouldn't need a mailbox. E-mail and online billing is a much more efficient system, and USPS is too unreliable to deliver anything worth a any amount of money.

I think a Lifehacker writer with an engineering degree would be interesting. A Lifehacker writer who is used to thinking analytically could add some credibility to the stories.
