How legible is it when wearing polarized sunglasses? This is the downfall of many LCD instrument clusters I’ve seen. Tilt your head a a bit one way, the instruments disappear; the other, they’re great. Generally they’re sort of in between. It affects the center stack display as well, but that’s something you don’t to…

If Hyundai wants to differentiate Genesis, maybe they should start using different design staffs; the G70 isn’t a dead ringer for the Sonata Sport, but they look similar enough. They should particularly stop using the same grille patterns. It seemed like Genesis was using a different perimeter shape for the grille,…

Which is why you shouldn’t really need to open the door; the hot dishes still evaporate the water and the hot humid air escapes through the vent and room air is slowly drawn in. Opening the door more than a crack allows colder air inside all at once, and may break the circuit running the small exhaust fan, both…

It is worth calling your homeowner/renter insurance agent and asking about a rider for the cell phone. I’ve never done a phone, but I have had riders on expensive cameras, and the annual premium was comparatively modest. A 2013 article cites annual premiums for cell phone riders topping out at $50/yr. Top end phones…

Because MSRP is far higher than the dealer pays for the car, and there are no carrying costs because the car is delivered to a buyer as soon as it arrives, therefore it should cost the dealer less to sell a customer order than a car from inventory. Now, should the customer change his mind after the build can no longer…

I probably haven’t seen ‘The Game” since TNG’s original run, but it strikes me that the addictiveness of the game didn’t stem from it’s riveting gameplay, but rather the orgasms generated in the players by the gameset hooked directly to their central nervous systems, whenever they achieved success at the rather…

MassDrop appears to be a group-deal-arranger; is the actual supplier of the TVs an authorized LG dealer, or are these grey-market prices?

It would be interesting to know how many lesions his dermatologist has removed before they developed into basal or squamous cell carcinomas.

I don’t know if I would drink the water, but I would definitely fuck the nature-boy model by the springs, if he’s open-minded about older dudes.

The creases and character lines might still be utilitarian, as they increase the rigidity of the panels and may permit them to be molded thinner and lighter or use less interior bracing and reinforcement.

Samsung is also actually already an automobile manufacturer. The chaebol planned to enter the auto market in the 1990s, with technical assistance at that time from Nissan. With exquisite timing Samsung introduced its first vehicle lineup just in time for the collapse of the bubble economy, and the South Korean…

Part of David’s description can lead to this interpretation, but CVCC ignited the rich mixture in a small prechamber designed to direct the flame into the cylinder in such a way to ignite the lean mixture. I think Car & Driver’s description is more precise in explaining how Mazda is using the spark to enhance and…

While the black is technically a second paint shade, I don’t think I’d consider this a “two-tone” in the historical sense.

The stick and handkerchief contraption is called a bindlestiff, which is also a term for the early-20th-century hobos who carried such.

Few people can explain M-B or BMW’s naming conventions, but a fictional universe of which we have only seen a relatively small number of snapshots of incomplete, mostly unrelated history is supposed to be wholely consistent and logical? I imagine a situation where after Rossum Universal’s robotics patents and…

Am I the only person who thinks Subaru advertisements are vomit-inducing drivel? In the abstract I quite like the latest Impreza 5-door, but it needs a better power-to-weight ratio, and I don’t need or even want AWD so the price premium over an otherwise comparably-equipped 2WD hatch from the competition doesn’t…

To be clear, Millvale is an independently-governed municipality outside the boundaries of the City of Pittsburgh, so there is no reason to expect that projects in Millvale would be funded by “officials” in the City, with the possible exception of projects related to mutual participation in regional planning…

AKA gasometer. Most of the ones in the UK are being dismantled because they are now superfluous, but that one received Grade II historic listing because of its near-contemporaneous construction and proximity to the pitch.

Kim is an overweight 33-yr-old who has diabetes, gout, and heart disease and apparently constantly thwarts the advice of the 100+ team of doctors who are desperately trying to prevent him from dying so they won’t be executed. Trump might actually have the advantage since his body has adjusted to his lifestyle far…

I think the “socks” may actually be spats.
