I was as ready to vent my displeasure about this as everyone else on here when I first read this story, those damn car salesmen! But after thinking about it a while I have had a change of heart. I used to sell cars, new and used, for about 2 years. Before my military days I worked for a tire distribution company,…

It's too bad you can't put more than 3 sentences together with a cuss word or some other idiotic wanna-be hipster teen expression. Maybe your audience is just other whiny teens? I'd like to have finished the article, because the concept is interesting to me as a mid-thirties man that hasn't taken the SAT since I was…

I see your point, but I see the point of something like Soylent too, that's why I wanted to try it. At some point we have to figure out how to feed more people, cheaper. It's not what I would want to eat every day, but I would definitely want it if I didn't have anything else. There's some peanut based paste called…

Jim Carrey hasn't made me laugh in decades. Fart jokes and acting retarded is the only bit he has. I'm mean really, another Dumb and Dumber? That's just dumb.

I'm embarrassed to say it now, but I've actually tried Soylent. I stayed on it for almost a whole week eating nothing else except a few snacks when I was out with other people. It doesn't taste that great, and you crave solid food, and you get hungry for the first few days, but it wasn't that bad as an experiment.…

I'm not surprised by your over-simplified mathematical explanation of why this isn't a "dumb jock" issue, your words, not mine. Saying that only 47% of the students in the paper classes are student athletes and the rest being non-athletes means that the whole student body is bunch of cheaters is pretty misleading. …

My all time favorite is the VW commercial with the kid in the Darth Vader costume. Fake yes, but awesome.

Wow. So much jealousy on display. An attractive woman, successful career, happy family. You crotchety old liberal bags must just be out of your skin.

I'm so happy you're here to point out how illegitimate my comment is. Except that it's completely accurate. I graduated from UK pal, so I'm fully aware of the horseshit classes athletes are allowed to take, and the minimum requirements for eligibility. True, there are some student athletes that were there for an…

Is this a serious statement? The African-American Studies community at large you are referring to is not only not outraged, they are complicit. The goal of these people isn't good education, just the production of diplomas for African Americans, more so for their heralded athletic stars.

Winner!

Add 1 part Shelby genius to 1 part Iacocca trying to revive Chrysler.

I like your reasoning, and generally agree. However, it may be an argument too late to make. The age of the super carrier is probably coming to an end and the rise of the drone carriers is upon us. I'm sure in the next decade we will see the first carrier with predominately unmanned combat aircraft. I can't…

You'd be surprised what good intending city planners will do. We had a 2 lane through town with pretty heavy traffic. When the time came to repave, the city caved to the states request to put in a bike lane in exchange for more shared funds. Now we have 1 overcrowded lane and a bicycle lane that never gets used.

You're on the right track. The mad scientists where I work are exploring the idea of a combined drivers license/key. Basically your key fob would be your ID card. Only a licensed driver can operate that vehicle, or other licensed drivers the owner gives access to. Of course this would take cooperation with the…

The quality of our gas has nothing to do with the middle east. We use mostly light sweet crude of the West Texas Intermediate variety. The middle east and most of the OPEC countries are heavier and have higher sulfur content, and that doesn't end up at the pump in the USA. If everyone knew how little OPEC oil ends…

Maybe you don't understand the scope and size of a global corporation like GM. When they say top 300 executives, that means there were hundreds not invited. If anyone thinks a company that operates on 6 continents, with hundred of assembly, powertrain and supplier factories, dozens of design studios, hundreds of…

Agree with the Camry electrics, but use the EU/JPN 1L 3cylinder for the gas half. That would give a boost to the fuel efficientcy when not in hoonigan mode, and lighter weight for fun factor. Compress it if you want to take it that next step. Aggressive tune on the electric motor. Gut it with some comfy racing…

I'll give you 3:

Im tired of hearing about some supposed hungry kids in America that we should be giving every dollar we earn too. We are a country of fat people, obesity is our biggest health concern. How can we still need to be giving away more food? Maybe if some people had less government bought food they would be able to…
