Dude tried to slim jim the lock. It didn't work. You'll find a lot of newish cars are designed not to be unlocked that way.

You do realize that a BSCS is like a union card when it comes to getting any sort of IT job. While I'm sure there are some people in IT who don't have one (a certain Mr. Zuckerberg comes to mind), you'll have a hell of a time getting hired without it. Lots of luck to you.

How many new kitchen appliances have you had to replace just in the past year? Cutting corners wherever they can get away with it is practically a religion over there. You'll be lucky to be able to drive a Chinese car until you're finished paying for it.

FTFA: "The current Toyota Yaris, made in China by the FAW-Toyota joint venture that will also make the new Yaris."

Well, it's nice to know I'm not the only one who figures that taxes should be the least concern to anyone on the cusp of the 28% bracket, which is a fair piece of change more than I make. If there ever was a first world problem that's it.

Maybe now the lads at Top Gear won't be so keen to dismiss it as 'rubbish.'

As they say, it's your money. You should care enough to know these things. It's rather basic, really. If you cannot understand what "28% of income from x to y" means, well, chances are good that you'll never get there to begin with. So anybody claiming to be tailoring their salary to some figure under x for tax…

Stupid because they don't understand, and cannot be made to understand no matter how you dumb it down, what progressive taxation is.

Of course, to some people, you might as well be explaining it to your cat.

People who think tax brackets operate from dollar zero on up are generally too stupid to possess the skills necessary to make that kind of money.

And if he were 111 years old, and living in New York City while Babe Ruth was still pitching for the Red Sox, he very likely would also have been involved in the First World War, and there are any of a number of organizations who keep track of those sorts of things, including the reasons (as applicable) why he didn't…

I used to drink MGD...in 1991.

Let me correct myself - it's the LE that most people get. The S comes with a significant gas mileage penalty, and if you don't care about gas mileage, you probably aren't getting a Corolla at all.

Most people buy the LS.

And then they still want to vote in New York.

This is what happens when Republicans take over a state wholesale. Screw the environment, screw alternative fuel, screw anything other than oil and gas. Next thing you know, they'll be taxing fuel efficiency, where you get to pay extra for the privilege of driving a non-hybrid Honda Civic because it gets mid-30s…

Dat foglight that won't be on anyone's Corolla. Textured black plastic for all. :-(

There's good vanilla ice cream, like Ben and Jerry's, which is a real treat, and there's store-brand vanilla-flavored ice milk, the eating of which ought to be doled out as punishment. Honda Accords fall under the former category, most Chevys fall under the latter.

I always wondered what the people of Idiocracy did for coffee.
