Big American F1 fan. Never was a NASCAR fan. I tried giving the Daytona 500 another shot this year, but wow. The race appeared to be an even 3-way split between actual racing, caution flags, and commercial breaks. About six different drivers led at one point during the final lap. Which made me think, what was the…

The vice grips merely clamped the nail to the current carrying wires. There’s nothing attached to the other side so they’re not part of the circuit.

Agreed, but we’re in the minority here. It seems everyone wants to learn by video these days, instead of just reading a few paragraphs.

$23k sticker? Oh wow, I had no idea these were so cheap. That's incredible.

Question: in general, isn’t the discrepancy between MPGs in the EU and MPGs in the US explained, in part, because the UK imperial gallon is 20% larger than the US gallon? So with same engine and the same fuel, a “European” car will get 20% more MPG just by default?

Uh oh, you mentioned 4wd and snow in the same post. You’ll unleash the snow tire, anti-4wd army.

I’m sorry, but was anything in that article actually written by the author? Or was it entirely done by PR-representatives. I mean, come on:

Nothing special with that Mazda trans. Automatic transmissions have used clutches that engage automatically inside torque converters to eliminate torque loss for decades. From BMWs to Pontiacs. They’re called lock-up clutches. Mazda just seems particularly proud of this one.

I guess it's the first line: "When it comes to living room media centers, XBMC is king." The market between the two is way too close to call one or the other "king," I'd think.

Bullshit. The 401 is hell. Drivers've perfected the "Canadian Slow-Pass" and take 5 minutes to overtake you on cruise control. Montreal is horrific.

XJ220 Transit.

I prefer my regional supermarkets (Meijer), local grocery stores (Spartan), or hyperlocal grocery stores (Hardings).

can't wait to make the entire inside of my car smell like WD-40.

You can't request a packet of paper checks, no. You can use their fairly robust & free Send Money tool as an alternative. Type in a name, address, when you want it to arrive, recurrence (if you want) and how much. They'll print a check, do all the postage, and mail it for you.…

I want this machine so badly on my desk right now.

I hate American tipping culture. I still do it because workers depend on it, but I hate the idea: "You were only worth $3 of nice today. A little better and you could have been worth $5 to me!" Commercialize politeness. I feel like they're forced to put on a show, at the end of which we throw money to them. Wish it…

I mean, I totally understand the appeal of 35mm film though. I was a projectionist in an all-digital 15-screen once. We still had a couple "thirty-five" projectors wired up for Indian films and such every couple of months. They were awesome. Great large turning platters, countless little well-oiled, infinitely…
