Everything I know about Texas I learned from King of the Hill. Hank would not be a fan of such wastefulness and poor operating efficiency as rolling coal. 

It is most definitely NOT called a “parking break.”

My dog has totally figured out how to roll the window down in the back seat of our Mazda 3. He likes to look out the window, and better yet, stick his nose out for that ram-air effect through his nostrils. At first we thought he was accidentally hitting the window button on the arm rest, but then I watched him…

I think this also illustrates what the styling of the Tesla Model 3 has pulled off so well. I’m no Tesla fanboy, but my single favorite thing about the 3 is that the designer created the suggestion/illusion of a grille with light and shadow. There is no grille, yet the idea of it is still present, so it doesn’t look…

OMG, Mr. Boogedy! This was a movie that freaked me out but was also my favorite movie as a little kid. We had taped it on the VCR and I watched it many many times as a little tyke. It was basically my first exposure to a “scary movie.” (I know, shut-up!)

Wait, you’re saying it’s cropped to widescreen and not just stretched to the wrong aspect ratio? That’s a major bummer!

I’m not, like, a wheel aficionado or anything, but these are the raddest, most interesting wheels I’ve seen in ages. It’s got a hint of retro, but not derivative of any existing design I’ve seen before (closest thing I can think of is modern rally car wheels). Good mix of looking strong but still light.

Great photo collection and commentary, made for a wonderful virtual tour of a show I thought I had zero interest in.

Great build diary. I always enjoy reading such things. Dot looks great!

Just watched it over he weekend. Best “found footage” horror movie I’ve seen since The Blair Witch Project.

Watched that a week ago. I really enjoyed the setup and building scares, but was really, really let down in the end.

Very creepy story!

Great story. I was worried that as the knocks started moving around the house, whatever IT was would have to pass in front of a window...which was a scary thing to imagine.  I’m glad at least that wasn’t the case!

So bad I’m actually kinda digging it? Reminds my of a cockpit in some 80s anime or sci-fi movie.  It’s so freaking busy, which I would normally hate, and yet...

That last sentence definitely gave me legit chills. Wow.

Holy shit, I heard that line but didn’t pick up on the reference. Fantastic!

Precisely. I heard it as “bones”, and it gave me one of the biggest laughs of the night. I missed the next few lines in the skit as a result.

It’s a small thing, but he is ultimately responsible for the grand golden age of beer we now find ourselves in. He legalized home brewing, which set the stage for the first micro breweries in the late 70s and 80s like Anchor, Sierra Nevada, and Sam Adams, and well, things really took off from there.

Challenges of poverty: when you need your car to get to your job to make enough money to hopefully keep your car roadworthy. No car --> no job --> no income --> stay impoverished, never climb out.

Great read. About the unusual carb location (ahead of the compressor), this does seem so strange and surprising! Are there other application examples of this setup--compressing the air/fuel mix? Could this have contributed to the poor reliability of these cars?
