I have a full Polk RTi (the predecessor to the RTiA series) setup in my living room, and it sounds great. The CSi5 center speaker is especially good, too—though it weighs about 30lbs and can be hard to place.

There's something to be said for teaching kids how to use old technology first—and then letting them experience the rush of technological evolution organically. It's much more exciting that way, though it should be noted that keeping kids away from a GUI forever is probably wrong.

I can spin the wheels off my '03 Civic Hybrid—bicycle tires+a manual transmission will do that. But most people who buys hybrids don't care about such things.

I'd want the SVT Raptor. So so cool, but I'd never buy it with my own money.

I think that sort of limited licensing already exists in some places with motorcycle displacements. And it definitely exists in terms of scooters (in that you don't even need an endorsement for 50cc and under).

I called my parents to tell them that I was thinking of buying a Focus ST. Their only question was "You're breaking the family tradition of buying Hondas?"

SOLD! That teak rear deck is just MADE for models to sit on.

I don't have a case, but I replaced the back panel of my 4S with a wooden one. Does that mean I get to drive this??

Of course you go. But I'd like to see a comparison between whatever little cars you drive and a side-by-side ATV, if possible.

No GIF of Cutler tying his teammate's shoes in the huddle? I'm disappointed.

I have good relationships with several professors and the dean at my school, so I'm asking them how to do it. They obviously have more to do with the school than I do as an alum.

I recently had the great fortune to "make it" in my industry as a young recent grad. I went from working two jobs 7 days/week to just one, full-time, and getting paid 3x as much. As someone used to the $20,000/yr income lifestyle, it was a weird shift.

I use a Wahl trimmer and a (shitty) Philips electric razor. I also have a Schick Extreme 3 that I use for closer shaves... though I've used the same blade cartridge for the past 7 years. It pulls a bit, but it works. I know. I know.

So wrong. But it makes a damn smooth and comfortable taxi.

The worst thing in any car commercial is when they say that it has "41 em-pee-gees." They say that, instead of "miles per gallon," because the consumer doesn't know what it means. They just know that the more em-pee-gees a car has, the better. It's disgusting, and bothers me as a car nerd the same way that the…

Though for your wife's sake, there is that Acura commercial with Calvin Johnson being stripped to his skivvies.

I saw the "final" internal Ford renderings a few months ago—and this one seemed closest. That said, things can change in the interim.
