Lack of Amazon VoD does bother me, but I'll explain. Amazon Prime is the bees knees. Prime comes with VoD. I didn't go looking for VoD, but I got it with Prime. Since it's just there for the picking I've started using it. They're slowly reeling me in and now I want it to be as ubiquitous as Netflix (which I can watch…

Now it all makes sense!

I had a huge crush on her as a kid. I didn't even know she'd died. I knew she was messed-up, but I'm unexpectedly sad about a 13 year old death right now.

The only reason I do not ride bikes is because while laying in a hospital bed when I was 17 my mother asked me to promise her I would never ride again. I loved bikes but I can't break a promise I made to my mother. I'm much older now and still tempted by them daily, so I do my best to redirect my hunger toward other…

1974 911 RSR. From age 8 (It was 4 years old by then).

Sometimes people (often law enforcement) get in a don't-think-just-follow-procedure rut. When I was 17 I took a bike for a test ride. Unbeknownst to me it had been previously totaled and rebuilt (poorly). It's poor reconstruction resulted in a 65mph straight-line tank-slapper that put me and the bike in the ditch.…

Curse you! It took me 6 months to convince myself that a bobbed deuce was the stupidest, most impractical project imaginable, but here I am wanting one all over again.

Yes!

The first thing that came to mind was a 427SC Cobra, but TookOfAFool already covered that, so I had to think of something else. SSC Tuatara. The only American made car you could drive through Europe without ever coming up short. (I'm 5 miles from headquarters. Who Hoo! Hometown pride. Go Shelby Super Cars!)

First thing I thought of too. Cheers.

'89, summer after HS graduation. I was working at an independent garage. Customer brought in a pristine looking RX7 with blown rotor seals. He choked at the repair estimate and said "Tell anyone who wants it they can have it for $800". For a second I thought about picking it up and grabbing a replacement motor from…

I'm curious to see what this CNG powered F250 does on a dyno, and if it can really pull off the claimed range. With natural gas producing about 1,000 btu per cubic foot compared to gasoline's 115,000 btu per gallon I don't see how this works out to being anywhere near equivalent.

There was a guy here who had a nice cedar mailbox on a cedar post. Someone kept running it over so he put a heavy-wall iron pipe in a concrete foundation and filled it with rebar and cement. Then he clad it with 4 cedar boards so it looked just like a simple cedar post like it was before. It wasn't up a week before…

...or some nice decorative curbing. Jersey curb that is.

Yes! Super bollards to the rescue!

For me it was the day I drove my autocross car and daily driver to work after installing solid engine and tranny mounts. Having just turned the entire car into a giant sounding board for the drive-train I had to stop and ask myself "WTF are you doing?".

Okay, I'll go along with you on those points. Thanks for the follow-up.

Yes, but the shareholders of those companies pay plenty. If a corporation pays it's so-called "fare share" of 35%, then distributes the remainder to the shareholders who pay 20% cap-gains, the shareholder ends up getting 52 cents on the dollar. Now tell me who's really paying their fare share and who isn't.

My problem with hybrids is weight. If I have to choose between losing 5% power or gaining 400lb of weight, I'll choose the lighter car with 5% less power. If the 918 were going to use an aluminum flywheel electric generator like the prototype I'd be more interested, but I don't want a pallet load of lithium batteries…

The MP4-12C is reputed to have the most advanced wet-handling of any road-going supercar. Clarkson said so, and thus having been said it is beyond contestation.
