Agree with all of these. Worse, I jut bought a 09 Audi S5 Manual V8. Black with Black tinted windows and black wheels so I potentially live in total asshat territory. I love this car and generally drive much more conservatively than when I’m driving my former now daughters 14 Focus hatch, but I do get the stereotype!!…
Simple solution. Free checked bags and reduce carry on size allowed on board. All of a sudden you reduce the fuster cluck of stuffing 8lbs into 5lb bins. Also, my last flight also had 15!! wheel chair assists that went on first. Plane was thus delayed by about 20min. Nothing to be done about this but it can be…
You described my HS parking lot of 1983-4 when all those revered 60's muscle cars were now long in the tooth and dirt cheap for us teens. Every day half my friends would light up their tires when leaving the parking lot. Bunch of my friends ultimately wrecked their cars (71 GS sport, 67 Camaro, 73 RoadRunner, 67…
Luckily I’m just a year out of boomer and into Gen X, but I’d say most boomers are driving Lexus if they can afford them, or they’re tied to some sort of Toyota milquetoast because they are Solid cars...and Damn GM doesn’t build em like they used to...
MGK started off douchey to MB and then sorta got into it but MB did no favors by not literally playing along. I generally side with Martin’s take but he proved that he can be cringey with actual F1 notables too by asking that real zinger of Bernie who played it really well with a “what?”
I’m not a garbage man but I know the way my neighbors put their garbage out would annoy me if I were collecting it. They toss all the recyclables to the curb (supposed to be tied up or folded and put in a bin) alongside whatever larger items they’re tossing. Cans are overfull. Its like they expect these guys to sort…
I spent a few summers in the late 80's in Italy and being male and in my mid 20's then, did not see any of the overt pinching and grabbing. The men were bold at talking and approaching, but I never thought any of my Italian male friends were anything beyond what I did at home in the US though they were more…
Also NY area resident so won’t argue the 335i plague. The other go to is the Altima. 3rd/4th gen are usually beaters and driven terribly. 5th/current gen driven like they are stolen and/or some sort of high performance car. Add a Maryland plate to the car and you have icing on the cake of shittyness. Pic cribbed from…
Inspite of desiring a huge shop, it realistically is big enough to subdivide and thus sublet. Same for floors above. As long as there is some sort of plumbing mainly drainage and vent stack serving the upper floors you could get an Architect or more importantly an expeditor to work the DOB system for either a waiver or…
indeed! Luckily at the time my friends also rode mopeds so we were equalized. Minute we got our DL’s the ‘peds were gone!
Yes, I will fully admit to never ever liking him. I can respect his accomplishments even his first title, but the person has never endeared himself to me. Just a petulant manchild at times.
Agreed
correct! Glad I could help
I think the others are all whining too, but we hear less of it because they aren’t Lewis. I think Max is pretty big complainer and Fernando has his moments. Its at times all a bit performance art the same way soccer/footballers feign massive injuries when playing. I’m still a Lewis fan regardless of his (and other’s) …
I sorta agree with you but its not clear that they were knowingly “speeding” or grinding the planks unduly. In this case when the FIA discovered two competing cars out of four having the issue, they could have said whoa! we need to look at a few others. Pulls random team names from a hat, and says Teams x and y, stop…
The plank helps maintain a bare minimum of space between the track surface and the rest of the undercar aero to still allow the aero to work. The plank isn’t the entire underside so even when the car does bottom out onto the plank, the car doesn’t become unduly unstable. Only if the plank were to be entirely worn out…
Not automotive but this dude back in 82 riding his cooooool moped showing off in front of two girls walking down the street decides to take a sharp right turn to display some serious lean at 35mph only to realize that the right was into a gravel road. No prob, I can power slide through it, BUT it had major ruts that…
Disturbing to watch that episode on many levels.
yeah I don’t think it absolves him of any of that. Just saying, he has had a life changing moment (nearly life ending) and recognizes the errs of his ways. Should he be otherwise be held accountable for damages to others and / or any broken laws? Absolutely!
That is delicious justice. Glad that came to a poetic end.
