So much animadverting about what words one chooses. Readers could stand to be thrown a curve ball once in while, just to make sure their brains are still ticking over.

Made the mistake of watching these early this year... a good lesson to writers for why you need to have at least one likeable character in a story.

Now that I know how boring the concept is, I guess I won’t be watching it.

The driveshafts flex different amounts due to being different lengths.

I imagine the scrub radius on those wheels was particularly atrocious, and probably led to most of the control issues.

I had one. For the era it was made in, it was a great car. I mean, its competition was shitboxes like the Chevette and Datsun B210, which it was, in every conceivable respect better than. But it was still a 70's econobox. The only small cars that were even competitive with it, on a value/quality basis were the VW…

red flags:

The author needs a proofreader. But it doesn’t change the ridiculousness of the trial and its resulting sentence.

Depends on your perspective. Is being technically correct, flexible, and sensitive, more or less important than simplifying things into some snappy soundbites and factoids that will be appealing/accessible, because they require no deeper questioning of the murkier, sticking points of an issue?

Most men believe they’re bad, in most respects, most of the time. There’s not a more self-loathing demographic. I mean that doesn’t stop any of them from drawing lines and declaring who is good and who has gone too far, regardless.

What’s pointless about that?

One could say this about any organization or person, sort of hollow statement.

I can only imagine that Tumblr has never made money, and never will make money, and they’ve decided it’s time to bury the project.

So if my math is right, the wheelbase will be 134 or 135 inches long? How well is that going to do off road (not that more than maybe 1% will ever be there, but still)?

I have been in similar situations and left... but I can also see why somebody wouldn’t leave in the same situation. Maybe she was drunk, and had to decide in an inebriated state whether it was better to be drunk here with creepy Aziz, or leave and be around who knows on the street or on the ride home? Maybe Aziz’s…

Nobody will read this, but my pedant sense is tingling, and I must point out that there were several motorcycle manufacturers in the U.S. after Indian died in 1953. Simplex continued production into 1960, Mustang into 1965, and if scooters count, Cushman in 1966.

Almost anything made in the U.S. at the time was just as flimsy and unreliable. Chevette, Citation, Omni, Escort, etc. And then you have cars like the Hyundai of the era.

Does this change anything?

I don’t think the light steering has anything to do with the tires, in the case of the bug.

...that’s a radial tire though, and not what this article is about.
