Hidden moral of the story.... The writers get paid by the word. Their bosses (the editors) get paid by the word written by every writer under them. Thus explaining why David can only afford decades old rusted out Jeep hulks while his boss can afford a Lexus.

On a side note, the US has already suffered two major, deferred maintenance bridge collapses along interstates - the fairly recent collapse in Minneapolis AND the collapse of a bridge on I-95 in Connecticut back in the 1980's. A big, unrecognized part of the problem is insufficient qualified staffing to do the…

What gets me is they haven’t once talked about trying to partially unload the ship. They’ve got those wide, flat expanses of beach — I mean, desert sand - that they can just stack the containers on, and just get another ship (empty)to load them on and get them to at least the end of the canal. Seriously, after all the…

“Its white! Well, now there is a lot of black and orange, too. But I swear there isn’t a Philadelphia Flyers logo anywhere to be seen!”

They do this to everybody attempting to withdraw over the ATM limit without writing a check out to themselves.

You overlook the fact that the number of cars being made has drastically shrunk the last few years, even though there are still consumers for them. That means a stagnant used supply in regular circulation, with fewer newer vehicles flowing into the cycle. So yeah, prices are going up, but it really doesn’t have much…

Transmissions are still garbage though, as they’ve been the entire time Ford made the Taurus.

Just a side note.... The interior trim was identical in the 2007 model.... and available in the same interior color and exterior paint color.

Yep. That was the Philadelphia area solution about 30 years ago. The Atco Speedway was willing to host weekly local race events, which continued until recently (the owners sold out to a real estate development company that was supposed to continue operating the strip, but shut it down for commercial redevelopment).

Driven across Nebraska? Nope. Driven across Iowa? Many times as a child, since half my family was from the northwest corner of the state and my immediate family lived in New England. Still there are worse things. Like driving through Indiana in an era where the state police insisted you pay traffic ticket fines before…

I’m sure the battery upgrade Torch wants is those hot-swappable Gogoro batteries from Taiwan.

“Yes, but car may stop” really should be “Yes, but car WILL stop.” Imagine how much safer the roads would be if Tesla’s autopilot BS software, when it detected you were inattentive for any reason, pulled over to the side of the road and stopped until you realized you were inattentive, even if it was parked there for…

I’m still trying to figure out why there is a link to this article from a Jalopnik Harley-Davidson article....

All I know is.... Keep your eye on a guy who thinks Nixon picked the best desk.

Is this article from back before Florida Man became a thing? Because with the location the car was in at the time, it just begs for this article tp be entitled “That Time Florida Man Was So High, He Thought He Was a Superhero.”

This issue is nobody wants to get a new car and immediately drop another $3,000 or more on it getting a mediocre new paint job in the color they actually want.

What I want to know is.... Is there anyone out there ranting about how he needs these for his Changli? :D

Not really. Maximum power of an ICE can be changed by numerous components, including the fuel pump, fuel lines, rails and injectors. If you have a high flow, you have more power. Half those components are barely physically interact with the engine for the most part. So the batteries are still for the most part just…

The battery is analogous to the fuel tank, not the Internal Combustion Engine. Electric motors are the analogy to ICEs.

Just so you know, it has nothing to do with BLM or your “66 events of hit and run”. It all dates back to the Mardi Gras riot of 2001 in Philadelphia, where rioters along South Street surrounded a vehicle and got run down as the driver obviously attempted to escape. There was some effort to avoid the rioters initially,…
