I feel your pain. When I was a teen/young adult, you could get a brake cable replaced within an hour. As in most “pro” bike shops had the equipment to cut and cap a brake cable, then install it on your bike. Here we are, 30 years later, and of the nearly 40 “pro” bike shops within a 20 mile drive of my home, exactly

How on earth would a Toyota Highlander even get into the race to begin with?  ;D

NASCAR fans who watch the races for the crashes are the same sort of people who used to say “I went to see a fight and a damned hockey game broke out.”

Ever since Earnhardt died, I’ve been saying the best thing NASCAR can do is have an off season series of competitions to test possible new safety advances in both the cars and the facilities.

Didn’t the shine start to peel off her media crystal ball around the same time it was revealed in a pretty damning way that she was in fact not part-Native American as she had been claiming for decades and refusing to provide proof of?

And after they’re done messing up this section of Death Valley, they head on over to the Racetrack Playa section to steal some of the sailing stones.

I had a friend that owned one. It wasn’t easy to get in or out of, even as a limber teenager, it wasn’t fast, got stuck in EVERYTHING (I swear, even asphalt that got too soft on the hottest summer days). Yeah, probably the sole reason I’ll never own a Subaru.

Kind of like how television shows back in that era tended to run 40+ episodes per season, regardless whether the show was a 30 minute or 60 minute program. Now we’re lucky if a successful show exceeds 20 episodes per year.

Makes me wonder what color they’ll choose next, because amber turn signals vanish in the cold white glare of the LEDs so many vehicles use now...

Came here looking for the guns bit as I had never heard of any of the “flying Jeep” prototypes being armed, and.... learned it was just a troll via clickbait title. The “flying Jeep with Guns” was the “Sally Rand”, the YH-32A, which was a flying testbed which mounted everything from aerial rockets to machine guns,

Why is this even news? Tesla has been pulling this particular cruddy shenanigan for at least four years now.

Lies! Those are not the world’s biggest trucks they are building in that facility!

Nah, wrong level of corruption. The politicians just approve a broad budget. It is high ranking Pentagon desk jockies who actually decide the nuances of how the money will be spent on equipment. Those are the ones who get the gifts, pay offs, and cushy post-military-retirement jobs.

It also displays a lack of knowledge in other ways. For example 8,000 people have caught the virus. That makes it less than 1/3 the population of my town. Hell, makes it less than 1/10 of 1% of the population of NYC. Most people have no clue what the population of their town is.

My grandmother had one of those Mercury Monarchs. She bought it new. The silver paint was self-stripping and gone within a year.

He did say something about the Jeep Gods....

To modernize that commercial, all they would need is people to key the car after the ‘loud exhaust’ was engaged.

Ehhhhh... Be patient for a year or three. Ghibli’s films have been bounced all over the US industry. People even forget they were licensed to Disney for a time.

More like society changed and people started to feel whining and complaining would accomplish something. decades ago, everyone just snickered at the botch and continued on, while anime that looked better than the usual fare was a source for discussion.

Buy yourself on old land rover and you too can get away with hunting for spare parts by claiming you’re “going out for breakfast.”
