Yea...I’m 36. Imbécile.

Cadillac service manager here. Awful fking names. Cringeworthy comes to mind when I think of having to use these names with customers. Brings me back to 5th grade French when everyone was putting on their best Pepe Le Pew accent while butchering snobbish sounding French words.

This is absolutely a thing. I will say, my nose is not refined enough to distinguish between european vehicles but I could definitely pick out a Euro car vs. something else as they have a distinct nose flavor.

Guess they didn’t have the age-old “If left in fridge Friday afternoon, will throw away” sign. 

All this good info and the discovery a new planet is amazing and the first thing my idiot, 5th grade brain was honed in on was a “perturbed Uranus”.

NSAID use during marathon and ultramarathon are (slowly) trending out as more study is done about their use during endurance events. Endurance racing is taxing on the kidneys. NSAID use during them only makes this worse. There are a lot of factors that go into how susceptible you are to having major complications (hydr…

We could just be in a simulator and the machines are trying to keep runners from overcharging by sending pain signals to our wired brains. I can’t prove the case either way so I’ll take my 20+ years of running experience and do what works for me :)

Hence, “nearly every time”. 

Awesome story and congrats on the success! Keep on it and good luck going forward!

Hopefully you’ve got it figured out but, if you haven’t or still struggle with it, don’t give up. One thing that makes a difference for a lot of people is increasing your cadence. If you go down that rabbit hole, you’ll read a lot about the how 180 steps per min. is ideal. Don’t get stuck on that number. Instead, find…

The idea that exercise, namely running, was bad for your joints always was and always will be a misnomer. The issue of running injury is way too complex to reach one simple conclusion...as with most things in life, most outcomes are a result of many factors that come together. Off the top of my head, I can think of a…

Heel striking is not, in itself, a bad thing. What is much more important is foot strike in relation to body position. Heel striking got a bad rap because it became incorrectly interchangeable with over-striding. Over-striding is “reaching” your foot too far ahead which places your foot strike, most commonly, at your…

I don’t need this. What I need is a feature that will roll down drivers and passenger side windows to the exact same spot. The OCD in me would thank that engineer very much.

Yep...the car business is cyclical. Low inventory only works if every other car maker is drinking from the same koolaid pitcher. Once someone ramps up production/inventory to capitalize on volume over profit per copy, everyone else will be forced to do the same and we’ll wind up right where we were pre-pandemic /…

Are we SURE?

I know the housing industry /= auto industry as far as debt liability goes but still. The group that would benefit most from this (wealthy/financially stable) is also the group that doesn’t need it. Undoubtedly, this is to increase the amount of viable customers but, just like the housing market in ‘08, it also raises…

Dealers are actually buying quite a bit at auctions right now. The problems that we are facing are multi-faceted. First, we are having difficulty getting new cars because of the chip shortage so customers aren’t trading in. The other issue is that vehicles are in such high demand that a lot of what we get is being…

Reminds me of the remote lot that a lot of folks who worked in the Twin Towers used. The images of the lot afterwards showing all the cars was hard to stomach.

I think it’s long been time to add “flag” e-boards as F1 did. Remote monitoring via cameras to eliminate needing personnel and you’ve at least added an extra layer of saftey. It will never be perfect as you blend race course and public highway but not taking some precautions when it’s clearly warranted is just…

Flat earthers that take the ride: Those aren’t windows. They’re screens.
