Fun and safety are quite often at odds with each other.

Four inches wider, how much longer? This is going to make it harder to fit on tight trails...

Yeah. The interesting thing is that humans evolved to be endurance runners on bare feet; introduce shoes to the mix and you get today's issues with knee and back pain in the first world. Shoes that cushion the ground strike encourage people to strike heel first, instead of toe first. Makes a big difference in the long…

Bingo. Harbor Freight's quarterly/monthly coupon catalog puts this list to SHAME.

Who the hell charges $984 for a tow? That's enough to transport a car halfway across the country. That's enough to BUY a beater pickup truck, tow bar and a winch, and pull the car upright/tow it back yourself. Holy hell that is outright extortion.

They must not have been too bright if they STAKED OUT the house and the homeowner was still there. Kind of defeats the purpose of a stake out for burglars.

I wish there was more of this kind of respect for rivals in the industry. Kudos to you, GM.

Isn't McLaren a British company?

Information ownership has been revered and maintained since humans started talking. It's called keeping secrets.

Agreed, on a race bike where every ounce counts, the lightest tech is always the best. But on a commuter or touring bike, disc brakes and IGHs are excellent.

To be fair, bicycles are now transitioning largely to disc brakes, which are excellent. Also, derailers are being supplanted in many cases with internal gear hubs, which are in most ways superior.

realistically, they should have just used a milsurp tank.

It's not a real, open bolt, automatic Mini Uzi. It's a semiautomatic replica that originally came with a fake silencer, which fits over the long protruding barrel (real UZIs do not have long, protruding barrels like that, and instead have a shorter, threaded barrel to which a real silencer can be threaded).

"That's the name we've associated with it, so that's how it is. "
You are absolutely wrong. "Machine gun" has very specific mechanical (and legal) implications, and the gun in the story is NOT a machine gun, in the same way that a V6 is not a V12. No matter how often or how many people call it a V12, it's still not a…

It's still for sale because the seller is not lowering his price to what the market will bear. Capitalism in action.

MiG-29 all day. Though I'd still rather have one of the Su-27s they sold off a few years back.

To anyone driving an affected car, if you're worried about it happening to you, just put your ignition key on a quick release ring and put ONLY that key in the ignition, with nothing attached to it. That should mostly eliminate the probability of it being knocked out of the run position while driving.

Slavery was already becoming economically nonviable before the Civil War (slaves were super expensive, and did not yield as much work in a day as simply paying a meager wage to a willing laborer, not to mention the associated costs of keeping said slaves imprisoned against their will). Slavery was used as the big…

I disagree, the Cayenne did NOT cheapen the brand. It expanded the brand to include a car that could be used to tote a whole family plus luggage, which Porsche did not make before (and the concept of which does not inherently contradict Porsche's historic product attributes and goals). The only way that this car…

How is this not grossly cheapening the brand?
