We keep rinsed out glass jars for this purpose.  A metal coffee can has never been in my house, but glass jars regularly pass through.

Nah, this is exactly the kind of car Lamborghini should be building.  Outrageous fantasy vehicles that you would think are only possible in video games.

No, it wasn’t any funnier. It’s always been hit or miss (mostly miss). You just remember the good skits from the past and forget all the crappy filler. Honestly, go watch a few complete episodes from back in the day and see how much is terrible.

I don’t understand how people can watch these endless hospital/police/fire dept shows over and over and over.  It’s always the same plots constantly rehashed.

god damn drones ruining everything.

Yeah, I saw quite a few listings in the $15,000-20,000 range, they probably had the most desirable engine.

Agreed. The crash performance looked pretty decent, I was assuming there was going to be a lot more carnage for 0 stars. The 0 star rating must be from something else like active safety systems, because in terms of actual crash performance, the passenger cell stayed intact in the frontal offset, the airbag protected…

Yeah, I figured you could pick up one of these for a few thousand dollars and get it shipped to the US for a few thousand and all-in be about 1/2 this price. But I just browsed listings for these cars in Germany and it seems the going price for these is $6000-12000, so I guess this one is fairly priced.

Yeah, I usually have to reload the page after narrowing it to see the pictures.

That paint effect was first introduced in Mazda’s Machine Grey Metallic. It’s not as dramatic as the Soul Red, but it has a ton of depth in person. Hopefully they do expand it to other colors, because it looks great.

When the user manual says replace part X every Y kilometers, than the European customer will replace part X every Y kilometers. The American one will frequently not, and after part X breaks after Y+Z kilometers they complain that the car is not reliable. Even though it was user error.

No shit.  Pretty much all technologies are dead ends once something better comes along. When it was released, it was a decent and more flexible alternative to CDs (CD-Rs weren’t really available yet), but was probably hamstrung by Sony trying to make everything proprietary.

Thumb drives didn’t exist when the Minidisc came out. I had a portable minidisc player/recorder in 2001.  The first thumb drive I ever got was in 2004, and it was at that time a huge-capacity 128 MB unit, most were only 16 MB at that time.

They were expensive and you couldn’t buy pre-recorded media on them, at least not around me.

I had a whole series of rental cars about 6 years ago while my car was in the body shop, and the Dart was easily the most entertaining to drive of all the compact cars that I drove in succession, including the Corolla, Sentra, Kia and Hyundai competitors.

This is a car where you just strip the interior, install a cage and bucket and make it a track car.

I’ll provide 1 reason from personal experience:

The first time I went to rotate the tires on my used Jeep Cherokee, I had to use a 5-foot extension on my breaker bar and pretty much all of my 220 lb weight to break them loose.  Every one of them sounded like I broke something, they made such a loud snapping sound when they broke free, but amazingly all of the studs…
