So assume I’ve decided I want a Focus RS instead of a Civic Type R. Are they going to be marked up as much as the GT350s are? I’ve written off the concept of getting one A-Plan and am willing to pay MSRP for it if I have to but won’t be paying a market adjustment.

Because that isn’t what the FBI is asking for. Instead they want a new OS that removes the wipe function and the timeout between bad password attempts and they’ll brute force the thing after that. Once that program exists all of privacy and encryption Apple has developed over the years for the iPhone might as well not…

I think it is a bit of this and a bit of that. Some people react differently to the drugs and some people definitely have a more addictive personality.

Or you know:

Not the inventor of the automobile, not even close.

Depreciation sure is a bitch. I thought when we bought our M5 we were at or near the bottom of the depreciation cliff. $24k for the car two and half years ago, god I don’t want to think about it in maintenance costs and I’d be lucky to get $13,000 for it today.

I guess when that concept car was making the news, “Tesla Killer” was the headline CNN used I think, I didn’t bother to look into the “money” behind this thing. Leshi was delisted by the Shenzhen stock exchange back on December 4th? Sounds like it is just more imaginary Chinese money, it never existed in the first…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Liquid smoke is an abomination.

Taking the business school mantra of “The customer is always right, but not everyone needs to be your customer.” to its logical extreme I guess.

Can I get the track map one in that jewel blue color of the one in the center with the maps in that orange from the one in the middle back please? You can just deliver it to my house, I’ll get the check in the mail to you soon.

I imagine this is what it looked like when the tree next to the house across the street from us got hit. The blast sent a piece of wood a foot long through the aluminum siding and wall and into the garage. In addition to frying every single thing plugged into an electrical outlet it also created a 18" wide square of…

I’d suggest not adding Wild Ginger to the list of ginger beers to test. God that shit was awful. I kind of like Gosling but only as a mixer.

Know how I know you’ve never been in the service industry?

If you ever want to be disgusted order a water report from your local water district. The one the Cleveland water district sent me years back after I found out you could ask cost me $5 but they are required by federal law to make them available. You’ll get a report that shows you what was in the water BEFORE it went…

As a systems administrator responsible for email amongst other things it utterly baffles me how some people keep their jobs.

Strap on the front wheel too moron, or did you think the front end magically levitated to the side?

Well it almost certainly has a bent tie rod and maybe a damaged steering rack from being yanked out sideways by the wheel like that.

At least here in Cleveland Kia (and Hyundai) dealers give me bad vibes. Their commercials are all about “Bad credit! No credit! Repo! Bankruptcy! We can finance you!” They’re worse than the buy here pay here places and it keeps me from visiting the dealers.

I’m just confused by the old school dive mask. I can’t think of any reason at all you’d want to have that type of mask.

I’m trying to imagine what that is like to be standing there trying to talk like that guy is doing. I remember the Gauley releases being almost too loud to have a conversation 100 yards down stream and literally shaking the ground and this is 4.5x that.
