The only thing that has improved over time is our understanding of how systems work. Advances in heathcare have eliminated a bunch of bad things that could kill or ruin your life. Unfortunately, what we have done with that knowledge has led us down a path to destruction. There is only so much fresh water(ask…

Thants very cool and all, but why does he need his navigator for this? Ballast?

Who’s going to hold the umbrella to shade me while I’m waiting on the grid, some smelly mechanic?

So, if this had happened in the spring, we would be reading about the missing CT people who inadvertently drove into Lake Champlain and drowned? Scary. Luckily the ice was there.

This is probably a cottage industry. You’re a guy/or gal that goes to alot of trade shows, or you work at the convention center, get lots of free swag, set up an EBAY account; profit. There’s plenty of people in the world who are into all sorts of things, (my fave is CNC demo pieces from the machine tool show) and…

Its really since they went to LEDs that these really became useful. I’ve had them for camping since the 80's, I even had one that took 4x D batteries. Heavy! The led ones are so small and powerful, you’d be crazy not to own one, or several. I upgrade every few years, and the old one gets used for wrenching duty! Even…

There is only one approved hot cocoa recipe allowed in my house:

Im still going to change my oil every 5K because, while I’m sure the oil can last to 20K, I don’t want all the crap that’s IN the oil from blowby messing up my engine. Oil becomes dirty, plain and simple. If it was a closed loop hydraulic system, sure, leave it for a year or a few. But, IC engines make nasty bits that…

My absolute favorite series on car design. he set the bar very high for the others, and always looked so happy to be driving all of those cars.

I can’t believe that my dopey comment contributed to a COTD. This is a running joke at my job. Whenever something breaks in the shop(an aerospace machine shop), I always turn to the operator and say “This is why I will be replacing you with a robot........soon.”

This is why the robots are coming for your jobs. Humans can’t just go to work and work, they have to eat, shit, flirt, harass, bitch, etc. The robots will happily work 3 shifts, then cool down with a nice glass of oil. You ever been to a stamping plant; it ain’t the ritz. Its noisy and dangerous as hell with all that…

Even though its from the GAG! 70's, I think that Golden Eagle deserves a full resto job.

I think it would be better for the USA to ban ALL electric vehicles! Let the others deal with all the infrastructure to get it up and running, deal with the battery reclaim and production issues and unforeseen things that will go wrong. We have most of the oil now, and for the foreseeable future. lets revel in it and…

That’s just TV gold right there. I love the way she just whacks the neck in two and the wings with her chefs knife. Miss her so much.

Totally forgot about this show. Every now and then I get one of these old theme songs stuck in my head. Last week it was Sigmund the Sea Monster. Thank god for Youtube!

It would have been awesome if Amazon put in its list of Demands, er suggestions for its new HQ, “no cities with infrastructure named after politicians”.

Yes, some have, but I just never liked most of the wedge shaped cars. Going from flowy, curvy lines to the more angular creases certainly seems more cost effective from a manufacturing standpoint, but I found it aesthetically unpleasing.

I don’t miss this one bit. Many’s the time I was stuck on the 405 at some ungodly hour. I always wondered who the hell is out at 2am on a Wednesday to cause this gridlock. That was in 1999, I’m sure its ten times worse now.

This car is one of the prime examples of why the 70's sucked. To go from the TR6 to this abomination, is just.......... ugh, just threw up in my mouth a little.

When I show up with this:
