I think the better advise is to try to go during the slower times or off-season. There’s also usually a tour or guide option that gets you special or early access for a fee. I did that for Stonehenge to be the first group on-site AND be able to freely walk inside to see the stones up-close for 20 minutes. Same for Taj…

I would have paid an extra $1000 to get my BMW ActiveE in NOT white, with blue/silver decals, and white leather interior. I forgot all about the color once I got inside and drove that electric car. On the plus side, I never lost it in a parking lot.

Useful but not really “secret”. It’s been in the same place in Settings since iOS 5 and Lifehacker has articles talking about it as far back as 2012 and as recently as July 2017.

Choice is a beautiful thing. Realistically, no one is actually going to pay for leather-wrapped vents on a base Macan, but they can so why complain? You can also add $17 worth of toppings to a $15 pizza at Pizza Hut. It could be a good idea for you or a bad idea for someone else, just a choice.

Great deal if you want HOV lane access and a fun, quiet ride around town. Nothing beats the EV driving experience from 0-30.

Definitely. I think the current-gen Audi A6 is the best compromise between knobs & screens. My favorite feature of that infotainment system is that the console screen can fold away instead of being a giant blank screen of reflections & distraction. A rolling knob on the steering wheel controls the volume. Not a fan of…

Need to grab this switch from the VW parts bin: FUNK

Shameless plug for a free sticker pack I made. It’s usefulness depends on if your definition of “useful” includes having fun.

I thought you’re supposed to stand your ground when charged by an out of control BMW? This is more confusing than the act tough/play dead rule when a bear attacks.

Cockroaches run and hide when the lights come on. Crickets jump/fly and taunt you with weird noises that come from random locations like miniature ventriloquists.. There’s totally a difference.

Every time I see a car with a mattress on the roof and it’s “tied down” with bungee cords I make I sure get passed it in a hurry. It’s like no one thinks they’re the one with the mattress whose front-end is lifted a good foot off the roof because it's catching so much air.

Every time I see someone (usually a passenger, but sometimes an even more stupid driver) with their feet on the dashboard or hanging out the window I think: “that’s going to hurt real bad if the air bag goes off”. Kneecaps and femurs are not things that you want flying into your face and torso with explosive force.

It is a bit of a space hog. It think a wall-mounted rack like this could help get it up off the countertop to hang out under a cabinet.

I ordered the Joule for $150 but canceled when the Anova dropped in price. I like the idea of having control directly on the device AND via the app.

I think you’re only about 20% correct. Safety is everyone’s responsibility and abiding by the law applies to everyone. If cops need to drive faster to do their job better (I agree it would help while patrolling the highway) then that exemption needs to be written in the law. It shouldn’t be up to individual officers…

People are conditioned to wait for sales (ask JC Penney what happens when you just offer lower prices everyday instead of playing the coupon game). It seems like every major and minor holiday is a reason for retailers to offer some discount. Summertime alone includes Memorial Day, Fathers Day, Graduation, July 4th,…

Which one is the non-sociopath?

There will ALWAYS be a neighbor that puts something in their front yard that makes you say “really!?!”

Did you read your HOA rules and still decide to move-in? Well, then you agreed to follow those rules - even the ones you don’t like. That’s what keeps your place looking nice too and property values higher. Allowing some maintenance but not eyesores would mean writing rules detailing how much of which parts can be…
