It isn’t making sense for you because you forget NYC is NOT the capital of NY state. Albany is. So yeah, he does plenty of driving around the area he represents, but then he also has to drive halfway up the state to Albany and back as well. That is a couple hundred miles of round trip five days a week- so there is…

I’m more surprised  Mercedes made only 227 of those vehicles over a 10 month period.

Happens every few years. Before this, a Dodge plant lost a bunch of chargers or challengers. And years before that, there were a bunch of Corvettes stolen from a factory lot. The take away is, car manufacturers do NOT learn from the mistakes of other car manufacturers ( or themselves, seeing as Ford has had multiple…

That weight isn’t there to improve general handling. It is there to prevent the FC Jeep from doing a faceplant if it is ever driven downhill.

Watch Richard Hammond’s BIG. There was an episode about the VW factory in Wolfsburg. Watch it and you’ll understand exactly why the term “gigafactory” really belongs to VW and should not be used for any of the pathetically small facilities used by any of Musk’s enterprises. Just to give you an idea... they have bikes…

Only because subsidies dried up right after a hurricane obliterated much of the East Coast rail network (Agnes, 1972), which directly contributed in the freight lines being consolidated as Conrail and passenger service consolidated as Amtrak.

This reminds me, if you’re going to pull over due to weather, do it after passing the overpass. That way, you don’t get tangled in the mess that will inevitably happen once all the idiots have stopped traffic by stopping under the overpass.

When was the last time you saw an F1 race go down in the midst of rush hour traffic? Don’t compare apples and oranges when all you have is a rage banana to swing around.

Nah. They just need to learn to handle the last mile properly and stop being cheap bastards. Maybe two miles from me, we have a tiny rail yard. Essentially, it is a wye with a couple extra side spurs. It regularly sees cargo drops for a produce warehouse, a concrete company, a lumberyard, plus Toyota, Nissan, Ford, GM…

You made a mistake. There was no reason to specify “nickel”. It doesn’t matter what they were digging up, it is simply the act of mining that is destroying the rain forest.

Coolest tools? Cool? Wrong word. Useful. Now I can’t tell if your bad choice of words means you fake journalism or you fake wrenching...

Only problem is, he was describing a movie from the 90's, Emmanuelle 7. It was described to me as a cyberpunk flick. But is was a softcore porn that was less cyberpunk than Sneakers or Wargames.

So.... In a drive by shooting, one of those guys would be a ball gunner?

I own a ‘94 Honda Accord. It has had exactly two major problems - the driver door electronics panel developed a short that gets bridged by frost in the winter and drains the batteries by the door mirror moving on its own, and once the original exhaust rotted out (took 20 years to happen), all the replacement systems…

Considering the dozens of misspelled signs you can find in every state, the related work force is small. And, I guarantee you, in the process, the mistake WAS noticed and it boils down to “well, that is what the work order says.” But it was realized outside government business hours, so some hack of a supervisor…

So, that means you’re admitting to cooking your word count by adding your discussion comments to the total? Otherwise, I think there may be a class action lawsuit for all the unpaid contributors to Kinja’s sites.

Why exactly is this suddenly an issue now? The Army has been doing helicopter fast-roping demonstrations at sporting events for most of the last two decades. This low altitude flight doesn’t really seem out of the ordinary.

Shouldn’t the title of this story be “You Know You’re a Redneck When...”?

Added bonus with Tom’s suggestion: You can have fun rebadging it as a Toyota Vibe or Pontiac Matrix.

This is why local government should always offer to have local fire services refill air tanks for volunteer divers. Most typically dive in the sea, where they need specific and expensive mixes to allow them to go deep. So it is a hobby that lends itself to appearing quite expensive. But for stuff close to home, in…
