In that case, someone should make a foam plug thing for the air intakes. Can remove it easily after a run for cooldown instead of trying to rip tape off.

I'm gonna chime in. WTF is that Volvo SUV driver doing? Not making any obvious effort to make a space between himself and the cop, by either speeding up to the speed limit, or slowing down to let left lane drivers filter through. The cop would know the gig is up if the Volvo let cars through. Slowing down to 40 mph to…

ooh, I can do that! It's easy to come up with theories and convoluted situations to make my friend's brain melt. The problem is, when the going gets tough, he prays to Ron Paul to save him and becomes non-compliant.

At the university I attend, pedestrians, aka students, have the right of way. They'll cross in the middle of the campus road, dart out in traffic, and do any number of unpredictable things. Pedestrian anarchy. You'll see a whole bunch of students cross, then as you're planning to drive on, another one will try to…

We blew through 5 pounds of bacon in a weekend using the oven. It was glorious, and tasty.

I prefer the oven method, but will use the microwave if I need instant bacon gratification. The texture from microwaved bacon is a bit off to my taste buds. YMMV.

Agreed!

@Culley616: I want a Navin Field Grounds Crew T-shirt. And I'm not even a fan of baseball. I think it's awesome those guys and girls are trying to preserve a bit of history and take care of their city.

Kalle is a mini-beast. A small god in the making.

I think a Falcon ute with a CUV-spec (aka slight lift) suspension would be good. 7-8 inch ground clearance would make it more useful for work-related stuff. Unlike the GM ute, notice how the Falcon has a separate bed. On the Ford Australia site, they sell a model with a cargo box and 1-ton capability, alongside the…

Yeah, but the previous engine/transmission combo on Subarus always sucked on fuel economy, since it was so ancient. It should be a lot better for a current generation ute.

I need to add my own Philly driving mishap. So the company I'm working for rents me a car and tells me to drive down to Philly for training. It's a Kia Rio. Joy. I'm driving down the Schuykill Expressway a little before official rush hour. As I'd already put on 300 miles, I wasn't too attentive cruising along in the…

They probably made the driver's cell, then figured... "Hey, we might as well outline the Thar with more cage, to keep the trees safe from stupid Journalists."

This method works somewhat, and as others say, it is exhausting when you need to keep up the character for an extended amount of time. I do the 'persona' thing every time when I teach. Me being an introvert won't help my students learn, so I know I have to act out a performance several periods a day, for 9 months. And…

What happens when one's journey is from Northern VA to somewhere between MA 128 and I-495? How would the time-value-convenience metrics change?

Are we allowed to ask something reasonable here?

I haz a sad. No love for this Subie... If only they stripped the bling out, hopefully everything is super-clean and the original bits haven't been hacked apart.

He's probably gone over each and every mechanical bit in that car 10x. Sure, the speedo might take off if the duct tape breaks, but that car works.

Wait wait wait... I'm looking at the Toronto weather reports... 30cm != 30in, like what is happening in New England and on Long Island.

The bad seeds always get the attention. Thankfully countless Chinese citizens were horrified about the incident, and hopefully it changes people's thoughts about how to act in the future. I also believe there was the complication of assigning blame/responsibility. It was rumored that you would get blamed, screwed over…
