Owning a Ford, I’m not one to dismiss the touch points on a car. Everything is mostly shit. And being a m/t, the plastic e-brake gets used every trip. I don’t much care about a katana theme, but if it feels nice (whatever ‘nice’ means to each person), that’s definitely a plus. How much that plus is worth is another…

I might overpay for a good condition Nissan Pulsar NX SE, complete with both hatches. And by overpay, I mean paying around $5k.

When I see a ‘busa, ZX14, liter bike or 600, I know some people treat these beasts with the respect they deserve, so the bike itself is only a single flag of concern. Much moreso is the bro riding it with the helmet strapped to the tail instead of his head. I’ve had some ‘busa-riding dumbass fly past me in my lane…

I would certainly consider a semi a vehicle. A semi is transporting goods from one location to another, just like a forklift. Is there a difference between a vehicle and an automobile? Are there qualifiers between human-centric and cargo-centric? Whatever category semi fits into, I’d put the forklift in there as well.…

They’re doing a lot more than just taxes, while the public focuses on Trump and his reality show drama..

As a Chicagoan, I think we both know that this city’s infrastructure won’t be EV autonomous-ready for a looong time to come. It may be the future, but I don’t expect to own one, much less live in a city dominated by the tech, within my lifetime..

I guess the could have introduced an equal number of ‘grid boys’, and called it a day, but I do prefer the route they took.

Love it. Carry on, my wayward son. Exploit the rules, stay within boundaries, make a statement. May need to shake my own courier rust and put a sign on my back as I bike some streets within the proscribed rules..

I think we got our microwave off craigslist for about $10, not that cost is the issue here. I can appreciate the choice; I cook most of my meals on a stove top or in an oven as well. But the microwave definitely works well at certain things (heating up tea, leftovers, etc). Certainly not necessary, but a nice…

I’d consider an electric motorcycle, and HD’s prototype looked pretty good. I think some of the reason of HD’s decline is pretty obvious at this point. But they do have some nice bikes, but I’d love to see more creativity and tech from the company. And smaller bikes. No reason they couldn’t build something similar to…

I didn’t mean to argue with you. I live in Chicago, where this woman lives. I’ve walked through numerous areas where people settle when the support system breaks down. I’m not sarcastic when I think an agency should hire her and heed her techniques. On the other hand, I know that it isn’t that simple.

Awards ceremonies are always bullshit. They’re marketing campaigns to involve more people into particular avenues of whatever industry they center on. Find an event that’s judged on non-specific elements, compare the experience to figure skating, realize that figure skating is ridiculous, take another sip of your…

Totes agree, through I’m sure there’s a litany of measures that potentially violate civil rights to properly make the most of this particular situation..

There are a number of reasons not to buy a two-door SUV. That number is rather large.. But there are a few reasons I’d like to buy an old Explorer Sport

The left is my fancy night out ride (candy apple red, ladies).

Really? Is Fitbit still a thing? That watch has been sitting on something in my apartment for a year now, ever since that one person decided to dominate everyone in the office by going crazy walky, and it just lost its charm.. I just kind of assumed everyone had one of those ‘friends’..

1. Odometer: That’s all in the past.

This is a complicated narrative to fit into a blog post, much less a comment.. I haven’t seen anything about how much staffers make, or how that compares to the competition. I have noted the wage increase of $1,120 (by comparison, WalMart promised a one time bonus of $1,000 to employees with 20+years of service). To…

1 in 7 of adults under 38 having 100k in savings? I can believe it. Some born into wealth, some understand compounding interest, some got into a good software gig and didn’t buy a place in Manhattan, some didn’t have kids, some bought a cheap Moto over a new iPhone every six months, some just committed to spending…

Ugh.. This...shouldn’t be a thing...
