Ahem.... You totally blew a chance to play a bit of a game here.... a game called “Which came first?”

Only problem I see here is some of these cars got their names years or decades before there was similar sexual slang. In fact, the only case on the list where the slang came first was the Doge Dart Swinger, and in that case, they supposedly intentionally were after the innuendo in the car name.

Sorry, you’re not the first. In military circles, there have been artillery rocket systems doing something quite similar since the 1960's.

The show did not do her any wrong. She pulls the same BS as the other “zoo keepers” with an illegitimate show dressing of “nonprofit.” She is no better than any of her competitors.

I’m halfway there! Had to put gas in the car today and it was $1.98 per gallon here in NJ.

That first image, GM called and wants its early design drawings for the SSR back. But then they shut up because they were afraid the second image would remind people what they did with Holden. But then Mercedes cleared its throat and pointed at the third photo, demanding you stop cribbing from the Unimog. And there is…

Augh! I’ve been had! I came into this expecting social commentary about people dressed inappropriately in public (like the people who insist on going shopping on pajamas and slippers - they’re no longer limited to Walmart!) and I get a long, dragged out, web commercial for Old Navy instead. Why even bother with the…

You aren’t allowed to have a speedometer in Roman Numerals unless you also install an odometer that measures distance in stadia.

Sonoda did a fair bit of anime design back then. There was also all the stuff from the Gall Force series, Sol Bianca, Wanna-Be’s, and mechanical design on Wings of Honneamise. IIRC, the last bit of work he did in animation was on SoltyRei like 15 years ago. Running the family confectionary got in the way, but he…

Most developers get around that “one unit, one vote” by starting the HOA with bylaws that give them tens of votes per property or unit in their possession, even if it is just an empty lot.

A lot of HOAs are actually run by the land developers rather than the local residents. It takes a pretty long time before residents actually have any control.

Not belonging to one is not truly a strategy in many communities. Many municipalities have the necessary rules on the books to allow the conversion of older, “open” neighborhoods to be converted into HOA communities. My neighborhood is more than 60 years old, but a few years ago some newbs moved in and tried to start…

Once you pay the fine, at the very least the clock starts over on a new $1000 limit.

Well, if Karma hears about this, we know precisely what will happen: One (or preferably all) of the HOA board members will come down with the coronavirus and this family will be all like “but we were told not to park it here, and seeing how unreasonable you were, I have no doubt you’ll go back on your word if we loan…

Problem with this correlation is the confusion of luck with intelligence.

“He now claims that he’s in the process of converting one of his factories to manufacturing these devices”

That Lufthansa solution required Germany’s equivalent to the FAA to change regulations to allow it. Flying an aircraft safely requires load balancing, which gets quite complicated almost immediately in a situation like your photo above. And TBH, that is nothing but a publicity stunt. I can guarantee the pasenger…

Well, it is obvious why the “silent” version failed - one point of attachment. Nothing was secured down, so all the vibration traveled up the pipes and mufflers, causing rattling against the exterior of the Fiat. If they had fastened the unholy mess to the roof of the vehicle, it probably would not have been so loud.…

I’ve got one of those too. Fits in my Honda Accord trunk no problem and straps to the interior side trim of my Taurus station wagon. However, I will say the pull out tables aren’t entirely a thing of the past. I see plenty of them on work vans in my region AND they are still fairly ubiquitous for handling coffins on…

Problem is a bit deeper than that. My area has no significant street racing problem because one of the local drag strips quite openly hosts public racing events 1-2 times a week. As a result, we hear about street racing incidents maybe 3 or 4 times a year even though the local broadcast market has a population…
