Maybe not to you, but there’s probably a few people that didn’t know. Besides, there’s secret, and then there’s “secret”. Area 51 is secret, yet everyone knows its there.

You’d think so, right? But I’ve seen on the news multiple times where a “car was out of control due to a stuck throttle”. I remember at least one instance where the police used a cruiser to stop the car by getting in front and then braking. But it’s not just the “average” driver that doesn’t know to just put it in…
DC3, you’re right. And I’ve done (in the past) the starter rebuild kit route. But frankly, there are so many drivers out there that don’t know how to change a tire or a battery, that I didn’t want to get into what to look for on a starter. Hell, Oregon (or was it Washington?) was freaking out about having to pump…
But it did start...
Here’s some things I’ve picked up...
What vehicle would Abe Lincoln ride around in today? Just off the top of my head, I’d suggest this...
Its odd how different styling can be based on where it was designed. Not just because of safety standards (like with Asia’s fascination with fender mounted mirrors, which lasted briefly in the US), but the over-all general look of a vehicle. Most French cars just come off looking odd to me. The Italian “daily driver”…
Don’t think I’m making her out to be a hapless victim. She was a willing participant in what happened. The money flowed and she took advantage of it. Unfortunately, she either didn’t have the skill to be competitive or she didn’t have the equipment and support of the team that she needed to succeed.
But she wasn’t dead last all the time. There’s plenty of “also rans” that place well enough to be profitable, or at least provide an image on the track. Competitively, they may not matter much for “winning” but they do matter for other purposes.
Its no big deal, DummyGummy. When Patrick first swapped to Nascar, I found her interesting and also hoped that she did well. And in the beginning, she was racking up endorsements. In fact, I wasn’t aware of Godaddy.com until Patrick. My point was that her racing career seems worse than it really is because of the…
So you basically are saying exactly what I said, but calling it bullshit.
Danica Patrick’s career would probably be considered fairly decent (not great, but decent) if she weren’t a woman. However, she’s not only a woman, she’s a pretty attractive woman. So everyone rallied around the “girl power” thing with her and it’s made her look like a failure. Well, technically, I guess she is a…
“The glove box will automatically open in the event of a sudden stop”. Yeah, you hope they link that to some sort of crash sensor, such as for the airbags, but anyone else see a scenario where if you slam on the brakes, the glove box pops open and all the junk just falls out?
The idea that people don’t make judgements about the actions of another is a fallacy. Everyone judges other people by their actions or inactions. But you go ahead and try to pretend that my judgement that lane-splitting and reckless driving in general is wrong is your perogative. However, I’d like to point out that…
There are some great drummers in the world. But most drummers are not great. Therefore, my suggestion is that this is where most drums need to go.
First, both sides are bad about buying the gun rhetoric that fits their viewpoint. But you mentioned you have weapons. Statistically, it’s not an “assault weapon” (I hate that term...almost as much as “Mass Shooting”) that’s used most often to kill another person. It’s a handgun. So instead of going into a long,…
I’ve never been a bumper sticker fan. Yeah, some of the ones you see are “ha ha funny”, but I don’t believe that they should be on a vehicle. First, they’re bumper stickers. Anymore, people don’t put them on the bumper, so just me being me, I look at that as an incorrect installation. Second, I’m very protective of my…
I’ve been in the middle east. I have seen and experienced first hand everyone driving against traffic flow.
Hey Adverse. I have to ask. What is ATGATT? I might be familiar with the concept but not the acronym. As for making s name for yourself by disagreeing with people, nowadays you can build a solid career on it, so long as you stick to the media or politics. Although my suggestion would be pick someone with more clout…
