wasn't buckled. You can see the straps flapping around.

Unlike the competing apple products, there aren't any viruses around for my windows device. Now doesn't that sound backwards?

Flappy paddle gearboxes are sort of automated manual transmissions. You can usually drive them the same way as an automatic if you want, letting the transmission pick a gear for you. Or you can pick what gear you want to be in, within reason. ie, it won't let you start out in anything above 2nd gear, and it won't…

Tevas are the ultimate omnipurpose footwear.

The 2012 Impreza was very successful, and they sold about 2.5x as many 2012s as they sold 2011s. Most of the available inventory was higher trim levels with CVT's.

Some of you may say that's a nice price for a new miata, I say it's a lousy price for a miata that's been sitting unloved…

So steampunk.

I've never been on Emirates, but EgyptAir is a pleasure as well. At least, compared to most American airlines.

I'm abstaining from the vote. Looks like a sweet truck. Would I pay 17,000 for it? Nope! Would I rather pay 17,000 for this than for a new corolla? Yep! Probably worth that money to someone.
