I drove 1984 Tercel wagon for my last 3 years of high school in the early 90's. 5-speed, but the FWD model. This ad should come with a ski mask and gun in your face as you are being robbed at this price. Slow does not begin to describe this car. I remember I had to downshift to 4th to hold 60 mph on a 1/2 mile hill on…

Since January 1, approximately 99% of commercials airing during Jeopardy have been political adds for a cast of increasingly unhinged right wing candidates to replace Toomey. Dare I say Oz appears actually to be the least frightening? All of the attack ads are against him as well, which maybe says something? Primary…

Government so small it fits in your bedroom and your uterus.

In Lancaster, PA, home of US Rep. Lloyd Smucker, can confirm you are probably right.

I’ve never used any of these delivery services, but I’m curious how they work. Like, the dozens of abandoned meals in this story...who pays/paid for that?

Good thing it was not being driven by a pregnant woman on an Arkansas highway with concrete barriers lining the side and trying to find a safe pace to stop too, or the cop would have had absolutely no choice but to have PIT’d that car.

Captain = least drunk guy on the USS STI?

Ha, excellent line.

My company has several piston-GA aircraft (no jets) we travel on for our clients. The ease of travel without security - and usually tower ATC - is amazing.

Read “The Taking of K-129", one of the most unbelievable Cold War stories out there.  In fact, it was so unbelievable the CIA used Hughes as a cover, the thinking being that he was the only person rich/crazy/experienced enough to attempt what the CIA was pulling off in plain site.  

My friend has a Bolt. When we meet for golf outings we always switch my GTI for his Bolt when we go to eat afterwards. It is quick, likely quicker than my GTI in many conditions. And I can forgive the crap tires as that is easily fixable. Not fixable? The shit seats, the shit interior, the shit infotainment, the…

That’s called overhead. My job has some bills paid by the government, and depending on our accounting, we bill them somewhere between 2x and 3x what my rate (salary) is. That’s just...standard business stuff.

That is a valid point, so I actually make a point to watch my mirror and if someone is coming up behind I apply the brake to let them know I am stopped, then remove my foot when they are behind me.

Ha, this is one of the things I also enjoy about my manual DD. Driving the wife’s car I sort of resent having to constantly be on the brake when stopped. It does have a brake-hold feature where if you mash the pedal it sets the hold and you can remove your foot, but it’s still not the same. And people commenting about…

Slow clap for this.  Damn near choked on my lunch.

I live at the nexus of I-81 (I believe the most heavily trucked highway in the US by percentage of traffic) and the PA Turnpike (also tons of trucks), and side-by-side trucking is a staple here. And yes, while trucks are “banned” from the left lane when it’s 3 or more, I see trucks go 3-wide past the standard State…

10 MPG is for the poors.

I begrudgingly agree.  

When the dust (eventually) settles, I’m not sure I want to be the owner of a Russian oligarch’s yacht that he had confiscated and which I then bought for pennies on the dollar. I mean yes, I’m a billionaire myself and I have security, but this is the regime that uses radioactive tea to kill people across international…

I got to drive an H1 around a construction site in the 90's for several days. Slow and cramped does not begin to describe it. It’s so wide that on the road it was constant fear you were going to have head-on collisions, yet up front had less space than a mini. That’s some magic trick. And did I mention how slow it…
