I used to take huge hardcovers on the subway every day. I also carried a laptop bag which could contain said books.

In the end, Clinton is giving voice to what has always been the central flaw of the Obama 2008 candidacy: Too many Democrats blame him for stopping the first woman president for him to ever be the unifying candidate he and his supporters claim him to be.

NYT: “Vote for a woman.  Doesn’t matter which one, just so long as she has a vagina.”

It’s the same model, under the body it’s the exact same car. A redesign implies something has changed other than the external appearance.

I was poking around at Corvairs a few years ago purely out of curiosity and from what I understand there’s a reasonably healthy aftermarket for repro specialty parts. Sourcing them shouldn’t be terribly difficult, but the flip-side of that is they will not come cheap. Like finding repro parts for a 914, for example.

“The dancer pole is part of who we are ─ if you want to dance on a pole, we’re the place to be.”

Lithium extraction is less environmentally harmful (for now, we’ll see how things go as the need continues to explode and the rush of far less scrupulous people move into less effectively regulated areas and countries), but the refining of it is not, not to mention the refining of cobalt and rare earth elements…

There is no such thing as environmentally friendly technology.

My first thought was “I wonder if any of the aussies who came over for fall Drag Week last year had one of these and I didn’t notice.”

The 2015 is a genuinely fine looking luxe SUV, it looks classy enough to park next to a BMW X5 and feel a little smug that you’ve got the less expensive, more reliable and better looking car at the golf course.

It’s a Ford engine though, so it would short-circuit their purism.

RX-350

I did not know that Toyoda ran in VLN, that’s great. I wonder if he gets any ideas from the Opel Manta, the fastest car on earth.

Swapping one of these into a pristine 5.0 fox-body and showing up at a classic mustang meet would be deeply enjoyable.

It could work, but you still have to look at the screen to get a basic idea of where to start because the nature of a screen is that it can change completely.

The keyboard comparison has been my big problem with them.  It’s not possible to use a screen without taking your eyes off the road.  This makes them terrible from a design perspective.  If they take away your steering wheel buttons or the last knobs on your radio, do you think it’s going to be easier or harder to…

Ah, I see people have already begun stealing them according to previous comments.

What’s the car equivalent of stripping old buildings and job sites for copper? Has anyone invented a way of pulling the palladium that gets left behind by exhaust on public roads yet, or are people just going to strip junkyards?

I am so sorry to whomever is asked to sit through those 4 hours.

Stage 8 was canceled on monday for bike and quad classes due to the death of Goncalves.  I expect that skipping the stage means that they don’t get the ride time but were moved to the next bivouac and began from there.
