Acela is also running on lines that were laid well in excess of 100 years ago. Most of the route isn’t rated for anywhere near the train’s top speed and much of the land needed to adjust the land was developed long ago. I know in the Philadelphia area, there was talk of running a many miles long tunnel under the city…

Interesting that the video clips are about a Japanese train, but all the video captioning text is English or Korean. Possibly targeting a foreign market, expecting to segregate the barbarians and their filthy ways on overpriced trains. LOL

Well of course it was sketchy as hell. From the photos of it in the snow, it is quite obvious it only moves in reverse. :D

You left out the most important part: PA plates on a vehicle in MA. So people see normally see this thing driving the streets of Pennsylvania.

These are the end result of a Halloween gimmick from years ago. There was a dude on youtube, IIRC, who did this to his car for Halloween, the spent the night parked under a street lamp in front of his house, pretending to attempt to wash the “blood” off his car, while he was dressed in a blood spattered tyvek jumper…

You should go to her right now and say: “Remember that spider in the road? I think the name tag it was wearing was from whatever it ate for its previous meal.”

i’m just waiting to start seeing the “My other pickup is a hatchback” bumper stickers...

Fall of 1999. It was maybe 4 pm and I was on my way home from work, coming up I-295 just north of the merger with 130. There was a fair bit of traffic, but everyone was maintaining the speed limit or faster. I’m in the left lane and three cars ahead of me, I see a car simply fly up into the air, like a piece of paper…

Let’s just hope the people in charge are going “That’s not a water mark; that’s an easter egg!”

The point being completely missed by those with the hater agenda is that Chris Pratt attends the church as a Christian. He isn’t showing up to push a divorce agenda on the parishioners. On the other hand, all these people whining “we can’t attend because this particular church seems to hate us” are whining because…

Good lord, thank goodness I do computer repair and had a spare monitor screen for my laptop stocked, as that British jackass triggered me to punch my laptop screen and broke it when Youtube decided to not work when I clicked the stop button...

I guess most commenters haven’t had a window on their vehicle smashed out by errant balls of ice. There are assholes who like to throw chunks of ice rather than balls of snow. You never know when stopping and yelling at the snowballers will save someone from a traumatic head injury because one of them happens to be a…

Huh. While I am not a bridge or roadway engineer, I have noticed it is basically standard practice to put the pylon directly beneath the junction of two segments of an elevated roadway, rather than a couple feet shy of that point. On a side note, those two elevated roadways in the background are going to undergo the…

Those weather channel clowns give clowns and weatherpersons bad names. You want thundersnow? Visit the western part of New England; it happens several times every winter and has done so for decades.

Ummm.... You are aware that the blue SUV is not a Transformer, right? So the vehicle had no reaction. The person driving it probably looked at traffic in all four directions and decided “I better back up too because that’s bound to happen yet again in the next few moments.” And multiple accidents in a short span of…

The most shocking revelation? A week’s worth of in-house production is insufficient to meet the total nationwide demand.

A long lost rules of auto mechanics - measure twice, install once. Too many people fall into the traps of item/product numbers and substitute recommendations. Always measure the parts that come out and the replacement parts going in to make sure they are exact or at least within  a fairly small variation.

That car is what happens when Frogger gets run over too many times in the video game and finally decides to possess the last car that hit him. As if that Saturday morning cartoon they did on CBS decades ago wasn’t insane and creepy enough. :D

A Miata or a Mini? So.... Something that fits in the space underneath provided by the lift kit? :D

Man... Now I want to get some paint and stencils and label some parking spots at the far reaches of the grocery store parking lot as the “Pavement Princess Throne Room”
