While your 3 yo SSD may still have 94% of its lifespan remaining, My desktop has a Maxtor 320 GB HDD in that I bought in 1999. Still works, and more than 95% of the drive sectors are in working order. It happens to be the boot drive for the desktop.

Start the places they won’t potentially have a critical impact - interior lights, dome lights, license plate lights. See how you like them there, and if you don’t, you don’t even need to bother with changing them back since they have no bearing on your ability to operate the vehicle. Also, easier and cheaper to find…

There is this thing called proofreading. EVERYONE who happens to expect to be paid for writing should do so. Why? Allow me to quote: “But Lotus’s rebirth this time around could be promising than ever before.”

That whole stopping bullets with butter thing is a video someplace on youtube.

Just as hockey fans like to say “I went to see a fight and a hockey game broke out”, NASCAR fans tend to say “I went to see a car wreck and a race broke out.”

Your knowledge leaves something to be desired. There have been no nationally televised driver fatalities since 2001, but the last driver fatality they had was in 2009.

TBH, that F1 decision was sparked the crash at Le Mans in 1955 (so many were injured or killed [83+ dead, 180+ injured] that they kept the race going to prevent traffic jams that were typically induced by the departing spectators) and the fatal crashes at Daytona just months before in February 1994.

Or long story short - “Because Disney said so!”

Or maybe he’s been around longer than a decade and is familiar with the way safety has waffled back and forth since the 1980's. Hell, I was there in the bleachers when Rodney Orr turned the safety fencing into a giant car-and-flesh-consuming cheese grater in 1994. And the fences had to be redesigned in 2013-14 after…

LOL. “Big names sell tickets.” Not according to some recent stories about attendance being way down. Those empty sections in the bleachers were empty when the starting flag was waved, not after evacuation due to the accident.

Kung Fu grip is the least of worries. Is he properly articulated to reach that part of his body with the kung fu grip to begin with?

The EU does have that ridiculous “Right to be Forgotten” law which would quite readily explain any lawsuit brought by a child against a parent for posting family photos online.

Ummmmmmmmmm.... There is supposed to be a caption with that wallpaper: “Typical orientation of the Camaro the the typical road surface”

Technically, I believe the word is considered archaic at this point. In the last 50 years, I’ve only heard it maybe a handful of times, and TBH, the word evokes Mr. Howell from Gilligan’s Island.

Shame you didn’t make arrangements for a before and after weigh in. I would live to know how much rust manages to vibrate off in the course of driving 1800 miles there and then 1800 miles back.

That photo is disturbing. How the hell are they controlling that thing? Neither occupant has a hand on a steering wheel. Are they driving by joystick or something? Okay, in the other article I see the damn thing is joystick aimed, but no other traditional style controls (like accelerator or brake pedals). But I also…

They need to fly it a second time before they can truly say they beat the Spruce Goose.

I’m sorry, but the real answer to the first question is...

I’m just waiting for someone to figure out how to disable the wifi update system and enable all the features for free. Because you know with the BS these idiots pull it is only a matter of tie before someone does so.

I’m just going to start off by pointing out you asked the wrong question right there in the title. There is no “we” involved in the decisions. This is controlling stockholders and corporate owners making the decisions - people who always fly first class and line their pockets with surplus revenue generated by our…
