The proper statement would be “the rights of way are ancient”. Curves along the NE corridor are too sharp and there isn’t much that can be done to address that. Pretty much every solution involves eminent domain, which is a political hot potato thanks the the political dickery that occurred in New London, CT,…

As some also deaf in one ear (my right), all I can say is... he’s using it as an excuse for careless driving. I can hear trains blaring their horns at a road crossing more than a mile away from my house. He heard that train horn and attempted to rush the train to keep on schedule to avid whatever punishment Amazon…

First time I used mine, I got soggy skin because I had no clue what I was doing. The instruction are really that bad. I replaced it two years later after it got hosed by a power surge. The new one has vent holes in the lid and I haven’t seen a soggy skin since. Be aware they come in multiple sizes, so make sure you’re…

Or learn how to cook your turkey. A lot of what we prepare is “throw it into a pan, throw it into the over, forget about it until the timer dings”. Turkey is not one of those things. The foil serves a purpose: trapping heat to shorten cooking time. It also helps the bird retain moisture. What you are supposed to do is…

That dude flying in an old Cessna 172 is like Elon Musk using an 84 Ford Escort as his daily driver...

I look forward to seeing what the first youtube engine swap will be.

That’s nice, but.... it isn’t the solution to the problem. Not until someone makes a car with wiring capable of handling that kind of amperage.

Though you really can’t tell, I am giving you a round of applause for this stellar and quite unexpected comedic performance.

Philly cops won’t pull you over for running a red light right in front of them. That means what they’ve done is ban “ticket quota filling” traffic stops.

Corporations don’t even need to pull that sleight of hand BS. My mother worked for Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia in its last decade of operation. The hospital changed hands two or three times before finally financially failing and closing down. One of the buyers was a Saudi citizen who promptly and outright STOLE…

Well, lawyers literally are idiots in one way: their silly insistence that the public’s judgment needs to keep pace with court proceedings.

Nice headline. Now I want someone to hack a Rivian so every time it starts, it blares a certain track by the Divinyls out the speakers....

Toyota is right. Europe and Asia have both strongly adopted EV’s to the point they have reasonable recharge support in at least urban areas. The US is pretty far behind that. Both South America and Africa will continue using ICE vehicles for several decades to come. They simply don’t have the necessary supporting…

There we go. The real reason it will never sell: Warehouse owners sure as hell aren’t going to replace their docks to support this silly lowrider BS.

Just looking at the trailer, I can see the vehicle was designed by dingbats with zero logistics experience. How exactly do they expect to get a forklift or pallet jack from the rear door to the front end of the trailer for those last few pallets?

I am conflicted. First, I lost my wife to a drunk driver. I met her when I was three, married her right out of high school, and a drunk killed her just a few months later while she was returning from a ski trip with some friends from her graduating class. On the flip side, I am a diabetic and that comes with several…

Wait! You can claim to have a positive Carvana experience? Does that mean you got the proper paperwork and documents in a timely fashion?

I learned to drive when rear, two wheel drive vehicles were the way. I could work my way up an icy hill without chains, snow tires or 4wd. These days, people don’t don’t learn how to be drivers. They’re just passengers in the wrong seat, and just for Torch, Tesla and its inappropriately named Autopilot are just…

GM stuck with those keys until at least 1988. We got a Celebrity Eurosport wagon that year that had both the door and ignition keys flat on one edge.

There was a much easier solution - don’t make the doors so long. Both doors intrude into the area behind them - front doors intrude into the rear door area behind the B pillar and the rear door extends well past the front edge of that rear triangle of glass.
