My VW auto-locks when I shift into second.

I always thought "tankslapper" referred to a big bump taken at speed or a nasty rut.. that is, something that could cause the car to bottom out or something to hit the undercarriage.

How is this better than "neutral?"

As a seasoned smoker of the green, in all my years chronic, I've smoked out of many a glass pipe.

There's never been a paper bag for donks.

That actually sounds like a pretty fun way to spend a week... well, if each of those meals was 1500 calories.

In the US they've been paring off wagon variants. All that's left now is the basic 328 wagon. You can get a stick with your AWD (Unlike audi wagons. seriously, you cannot get an A4 wagon with quattro and a six speed), but no 335 wagons (turbo or diesel), no M3, and no 5 series wagons whatsoever.

Wow, I really, really should not have clicked on that link to that essay. I am now far too angry for a Friday.

Some quick math says 8%. However if we only count getting-to-work gas, it's under 2%. Am I the only one who drives mostly for fun?

Man, sign me up for this royal thing. I love all of these things (well, perhaps except grouse hunting. I don't even know what a grouse it.) and manage to do most on a shoestring budget.

I would like to humbly submit the possibility that it's not that teens are choosing not to have sex, it's that growing up with an increasingly virtual lifestyle and thus missing out more on real-life socializing is making them more isolated and thus unlikely to have sex with each other.

I love the tone of these wagon posts. The seething sarcasm.

I can't wait to see what this looks like studded out with a ski rack up top.

GT-R?

Well, this one had me bothering my coworkers with stifled laughs. +1.

Ah, the memories...

This video wasn't shot in Oregon (we don't have speed limits of 70), which leads me to believe that this video isn't actually made by the guy in question, it's just a "here's this video" to go with the article.

Oh my god! David Foster Wallace reference! Morning Gloria, you my only friend. Er, the only thing keeping me on this site.

Guy here: my attempts at online dating were brief and very abortive. Never got very many messages (well, from anyone I would want to respond to) and couldn't summon up the energy to send out a ton of messages myself. It reminded me strongly of applying for jobs.
