Lol. Soooo... funny you should mention that. I may have installed four PA speakers under the hood of my old Outback, after I got them from a yard sale... and I may have hooked them up to an amplifier, which was then hooked into a hand-held microphone, and a PDA with all sorts of sound effects pre-loaded.

Talking at…

Fuck it then, no more laws. Put on a helmet, cowgirl it’s gonna get rough.

That’s not what I said, or meant. My point was that GM sales numbers in Europe will be as low as that of an exotics manufacturer like Ferrari. As in: basically nothing, for a company as large as GM.

That’s not how tax credits work. Its not other people’s money, it’s your own money that you get to keep. If your tax burden is less than the credit, you don’t get other people’s money, the credit goes unclaimed.

I hate to break it to you, there is no “up front cost savings” when using the EV tax credit. You still pay for the full price of the car up front. You don’t get the tax credit until you file your taxes and you receive your refund.

Cooper is the sporty engine level for Mini. Like GTI, M or AMG. However, the lower powered versions aren’t available in the US so ‘Cooper’ seems mandatory. But it’s not, not globally.

This is why I don’t snipe on online auction sites, it is too easy to get too caught up and pay over the odds or get angry. I put in my top bid, close the tab, and then if it goes over it goes over if it doesn’t it doesn’t. Either I’ll get one eventually, or I’m being unrealistic about market prices.

Yes. This is a correct answer.

“Call for Price”

As always, there’s a relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/538/

I see it all the time in the engineering world. People have some expertise in some specific area, and think that applies to everything. Yes, you know how to design something important, that doesn’t mean your weird ideas about biology are true.

Ford Fusion.

It looks like very much with the Ford F150 2009 headlight, especially the plastic lens parts:

If you choose Prime shipping, don’t forget to order at least one of your bomb ingredients separately, in case of a little jostling along the way. I lost three mailmen before learning that lesson.

Untech savvy guy here - is that what they call this? ‘Infinite scroll’? I think it infinitely sucks. Why do they use this? So few others seem to.

The infinite scroll strikes again!

Stupid new Kinja/article layout...

She is performing a public service - she knows Mustangs kill people, so she refuses to have one in her video. This song even has the warning: “Mustangs.......Gonna hit you like lightning”

You’re gonna hit me like lightening

I love clean black cars. cars so clean and so smoothly painted you see the reflection, not the paint. Your brain tells you the car is black while all you see is your face or the sky, or a tree looking back at you.
