It seems that an unexpected curve over water between long stretches of straight road makes perfect sense so that drivers don’t end up getting wet.

The one and only time I’ve seen a Hellcat it was parked in a handicapped spot with the disabled placard hanging on the rear view mirror. I’m all for folks with disabilities being treated normally, but all I could do was shake my head while thinking “is 707-hp going to 2 rear wheels really the best choice if you’re…

Sorry Steve, I had the exact opposite experience this year. Contacting the manufacturer (Ford in my case) resulted in a lemon law buyback after my car was sitting unrepaired at a dealership for over 30 days. I used a combination of letters sent certified mail and regular phone calls to the customer service agent…

A 996 is my short list because the prices are great. Should I be looking for ones with the IMS retrofit are done or just plan on doing it immediately after purchase?

Older gentleman clipping his fingernails on the plane and just brushing the clipped nails onto the tray/floor/seatback pocket. He was directly across the aisle from me. The woman seated behind him also noticed, and we exchanged an “can you believe that guy” look and tried to ignore the subsequent “snaps” and shrapnel.

Thanks. I’m visiting Boston this weekend and I think I’ll make Sullivan’s hot dogs Saturday’s lunch.

This forecast website is good to help plan leaf peeping trips. Unfortunately, most of the country is past peak color.

Also on DC Metro, a woman swung her shopping bag into the path of the closing doors. The operator opened the doors just wide enough for the woman to pull her bag out, but no, she decided to stick her arm further into the train. This little dance happened one more time and the woman squeezed into the train. Her…

I used a similar system at my old job where I could designate a set amount of my paycheck to go to checking for bills and the remaining amount to savings. That way pay increases go straight to savings.

I'm interested in the new features in this version but think it's overpriced. I'll wait for it to go on sale for $20 (that'll certainly piss off the folks that buy it for $50). Last year the Black Friday sale price was 50% off and the year before it was part of a $10 MacHeist bundle.

I'm not a fan of lane-splitting by motorcycles (or cars). No vehicles should be side-by-side in the same lane because the margin for maneuverability is basically zero. In my 20 years and 150k miles of driving in Southern CA, 99 times of 100 I see riders NOT use their turn signals. That makes it hard for drivers to…

That front end looks like it would make for a great snowplow. And I'm sure the exhaust would melt anything within 10-ft.

Same experience with my etip gloves. North Face replaced them under warranty with an updated design that doesn't have the silver finger tips. Hopefully these will hold up better.

Yes. I'm not a fan of mushrooms and asked a server if she or the chef could suggest a substitute for the mushshrooms in the shrimp & grits. She came back with the magically words: "is extra bacon ok?"

Already answered that question in another article:

It takes a lot shows to justify the 3D headsets, B&O headphones, and 27-inch iMacs at the Volvo booth.

I hope Volvo still comes to the LA Auto Show. I was very impressed by the new XC90 after sitting in it and playing with the new features. The zero-lag touchscreen and feel of the latches are things you can't get a sense of online.

The factory tour is definitely worth the trip if you're traveling anywhere through England. I went early this year and really enjoyed just how close you get - you're walking through the assembly lines. It's an amazing combination of innovative (vacuum-forming) and traditional (freaking wood) manufacturing. Great…
