928 Owner here; I've had children, teens, and small adults fit in my back seats just fine. Even done a couple extended trips with grown-ups back there...

That is so awesome.

I'm guessing rock-solid.

When I was around twelve years old, a friend and I were riding our bikes in a parking lot, using a hill that was perhaps only a couple feet high as a sort of half-pipe for jumps, wheelies, spins, and various stunts. On the bottom of the slope was asphalt, and at the top was a fence. Immediately preceding the fence,…

On the red car? Are you legally blind?

Wow, way to flip the question onto yourself. Sometimes people need automatic transmissions for medical reasons, asshole. Just because I can't operate a clutch constantly, doesn't mean I can't pay attention to the rest of the task of driving.

Am I the only one who just doesn't get the point of the Gigahorse (the double-decker 59 Cadillac monster truck at the end)?

Holy crap, was that just a saabkyle reference?

Like you, my first exposure to "Take Five" was from The Secret Life of Machines. The cover used for the theme is called "The Russians Are Coming" by Val Bennett. Your dad was right, it pales in comparison to the original. But then again, what doesn't? I'm grateful that I heard "The Russians..." which led me to "Take…

It was the Michelin/Citroen "Milles Pattes" testbed vehicle. It had four tires in the front, six in the back, and one large truck tire mounted in the center of the vehicle. It was used to test heavy truck tires at higher speeds.

Methinks someone has been drinking the urban-legend flavored (gold-infused) kool aid.

Are you from Florida?

Big ship-wise I think the Wallypower 118 suits my style. But the boat I covet most? The Dual-Cummins-powered Cigarette Racing Grandsport 49-footer. What a boat!

Looks like a repo hook. If so, he was probably getting it to a more secure location, where he'd feel more comfortable to throw the dollies.

In my experience, nigirizushi (the hand formed rice with fish on top) is picked up with your fingers (and placed upside-down in your mouth), but makizushi (rolls with different ingredients) are generally picked up with either fingers or chopsticks. Being easier to pick up with chopsticks than nigiri-, many people opt…

It's so interesting that it did, in fact, make the list.

I am not going to get into the debate about whether it's safe to speed or not. The simple fact is that going the speed limit is not a suggestion, it's the law. If I see somebody breaking it, while I am adhering to it, I am most certainly not going to help them slide by. Plus, you never know who you're warning about…

NOPE

NO, shift into neutral. Then engage the brakes.
