Disruption, bruh.

The irony of your made-up physics is that running water would serve to decrease the pressure against the door, not increase it, thus making it easier to open. Pressure decreases as the flow rate of a fluid increases (Bernoulli’s equation). It’s what makes airplanes fly, hydrofoils foil, etc.

Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.  You got greedy, Dawn.

Trailer hitch on my GTI to carry my bike rack. My first-ever trailer hitch mount, I’ll never go back to roof again. About $250 for the hitch, and while in theory I could have installed it myself, another $150 for the peace of mind for the pros to do it (it required removing the bumper and trimming the rear air dam,…

Was thinking the same, they probably had to dump a shit ton of fuel to land. 4,700 nm from SFO to ITM, about 65% of its range, maybe farther for an ETOPS route (also westbound into the jet stream). So was maybe carrying around 35,000 gallons of fuel (45K max). Max landing weight is 470,000 lb, OEW is 320,000 lbs,…

Ugh, my MK7 GTI is 168", so still a foot longer? Not terrible, I guess, but not great either.  I saw a Honda CRX the other day and thought “those were the days...”

The more I read about what VW is doing lately with user interfaces, material quality, and driver engagement, the more I am convinced my 2016 GTI represents Peak VW, last of the greats before the fall. Sigh...

So basically this?

It’s no coincidence that Fisker (mostly) rhymes with grifter.  How anybody gives this dude a dime anymore, I have no idea.

Nah, I can separate Israel from Jews, and Israel is a being a genocidal monster, so ‘eff them.  You can’t hide behind the Anti-Semite shield when you are straight blowing up hospitals and shooting starving people in food lines.  

Max leave RB and drive for Mercedes next year? The RB is basically driving itself to victories at the moment, and next year’s cars will be the same as this years. Max is 48 winds behind Hami. Assuming he wins 40 races in the next 2 years in that RB - and nothing from the past 2 seasons or single race this year is…

Musk placing limits on what people can do with the private property they purchased, how free-market of him. Jibes with a “free speech absolutist” censoring stuff that makes him itchy, I guess.

The eGolf had a 35 kWhr battery and went 125 miles. The current ID3 battery weighs 30kg/Whr at 62 kWhr. That difference of 27 kWhr is 810 kg (probably less in practice due to packaging), so I do not see how an EV Scirocco is going to be anywhere near a GolfR in weight, add 800 lbs at least; an ID3 weights 4,000 lbs,…

It’s a hereditary thing.

We had a TDI Sportwagen we sold back, 6 years and 146,000 trouble free miles. While not as exciting as your BMW, it was the perfect size for everything, and ate highway miles in comfort and silence. I miss that car still today, it’s what my wife’s GLC300 replaced, although in my heart it never has :-D

Duh, Drag Shows, obviously.  Also library dictionaries with “penis” in them.

It’s called universal healthcare. A system that does not bankrupt citizens over broken arms, strokes, heart attacks, out of network anesthesiologists, out of network radiologists, surprise ambulance rides be they on the ground or in the air. And Tennessee in electing Republican national legislators who for decades…

Oh man, that E350...

The State of Tennessee has 9 congressional Representatives - 8 of whom are Republicans - and 2 US Senators, both of whom are Republicans. So yes, they do have the power to help control this issue. Their constituents are paying the price for their decisions, literally.

Seriously, TN politics sees this billing issue as a feature, not a bug. And while declining Part B carries risk, the cost of that risk sure does seem disproportional to the cost, and also wildly unpredictable and surprising. And maybe to this woman $175/month was real money. Of course most of us know the real answer…
