Yep. The grade is actually at the maximum two ways. The rails cannot be raised any further because the “steel on steel” traction limits combined with a lack of distance to the next bridge, and there are parallel roads on both sides of the tracks, so the underpass cannot be cut any deeper without having to permanently c…

The only thing she won’t cop to is the fact she was inspired by a post on Instagram.

So.... That wasn’t simply a bad choice by the ad agency to illustrate “how spacious” the cabin was?

When did this section of the law get repealed? I had a 1994 Taurus LX with a speedometer that went all the way to 140 mph/225 kph from the factory.

I used to be a night manager at a 7-11 like 25 years ago (all of a half mile from my house at that). They closed up shop in southwest NJ. I can easily rattle off a list of like 30 Wawa locations within a 10 mile drive of me. In that same service area remain a mere 4 7-11 locations.

Wasn’t ever going to work because the tire wasn’t high enough off the ground, so the bottom was never going to seat properly due to being partially compressed. Yes, there was too much fuel used, but if the tire could seat properly, that wouldn’t have mattered because there would not have been enough oxygen to burn it…

Unfortunately, this is the eventual fate of all museum ships. Maintenance is inevitably deferred to the point that there is no way to afford to save the vessel. In Philadelphia, PA rests the USS Olympia, probably the second oldest USN ship still afloat, being the better part of 130 years old. Not a dime spent on…

That last paragraph may have been an attempt at humor, but riddle me this: Are automatic flush toilets simply repurposing early back-up collision warning sensors for automobiles, or are those sensors in automobiles simply a repurposing of the auto-flush sensors in those toilets?

well, just wait for the inevitable skyrocketing of accident reports from states where maintenance and inspection are options, because those are the lands where cars with inoperable tail lights go to die. Accidents due to fog will zip up, too.

Ahem.....

You can’t tell from the pose? Someone photoshopped Kendall Jenner’s head onto a photo of a barbie doll.

Ah, the inertnets, where people overreact at the mention of damage to a... Jaguar or GTR. Or are you one of those weird pervs that overreacts to the idea of a Silverado getting minor damage?

Wow. Opening stance: “When most people start wrenching, they typically choose a cheap, mechanically simple and well-understood car for their first project. A Mini or a Beetle or maybe an old Jeep.”

For you Jason, I will coin a replacement for “Slow news day?” That replacement should be....

So silly, Torch. Obviously, this is a safety feature. This so so all the sidewalk hookers can clearly see who is driving the “rich dude’s car” and assess whether it is an actual customer or a serial killer.

Unfortunately, here in the US, it actually does represent everywhere, or have you been pulling a Rip van Winkle and missed the many reports indicating at least 4 of 5 bridges in this country are structurally deficient? And it isn’t just bridges. In my own neighborhood, there are two separate small streams crossed by…

With all the rust, I don’t think anyone can be absolutely positive any of your vehicles are actually hard to the touch.

In other words, his 30 MPG vehicle has been getting 20 MPG the entire time the device has been installed, so he can use all that saved 10 MPG at a later date when he needs it.

Many years ago (1986), Marvel had a major criminal meeting at a nameless bar, where a... vigilante known as “Scourge of the Underworld” killed most of the attendees. And we’ve seen similar behavior by criminals in various Batman comics and shows. And let’s not forget the TV concept of “cop bars”. So, the idea of a bar…

Problem here is most commenters are unaware of how complex this seemingly simple task of moving fuel from pipeline to truck actually is, because it is a task that occurs simultaneously to multiple trucks at thousands of locations around the clock. AND at those thousands of transfer points, there is an interconnection…
