For the record, if I had a beater, I would rebadge the living hell out of it.

Let me count the ways...

Dealership: "I don't think you understand— we fixed the glitch."

I took an Uber once, agreed to the surge price of 1.25x. Seemed reasonable, would still be faster than a cab, etc. Got a push notification a few minutes later— the price had gone up to 1.75x. Well, whatever, right? We already had an Uber on the way. Except the driver also obviously got that push notification and…

I'll know mile markers if I need to make an emergency call, but some of these towns only have one exit off the freeway. Miss the sign because you were too busy looking at the funny-looking cloud or scanning for cops? You'll never know the name of the town.

It can take over a mile to stop the train. The engineers almost centainly hit the emergency stop button, but there's no way to bring hundreds of thousands of tons to a stop quickly and safely.

No more quickly than any other vehicle of the era. They're just more difficult because the head gaskets are on the side of the engine, and there are two of them. Head gaskets haven't been an issue for Subaru for years, although the joke/stereotype probably won't stop for at least another decade. Maybe if you bought…

I was wondering about that, and if we were seeing all the cars, or if photos of Clarkson's didn't make it to the internets.

It sounds like they need to reverse the polarity of the airbag system!

Looks like the rock-throwers ignored the 2CV... guess we know what the best car to drive though Argentina is.

UPDATE: The cars were definitely hit pretty hard, though its unclear if the damage was caused during the immediate accident or afterwards. You can see them by the side of the road here and here.

I just saw a 1:50 CGI fuck-fest and 0:04 of actual footage. Kinda funny, but more disappointing.

I had a good experience with it, but I also bought my car shortly after the Japanese tsunami in 2011. The dealer was down from 80 cars a month coming in to less than 30, and having that pre-negotiated price meant I got a good deal comparatively (it was a few years ago now, but I think it was essentially sticker +…

I've used the Monoprice Action Camera for this. Proven to work and only cost me $90, but it doesn't look like they sell it any longer. Plates were readable (in daylight at least, at night it varied depending on state and if there was light shining on it or not).

That's a paddock, not an arena.

It looks like the arena wasn't even big enough for the truck to turn around in without running people over. What the hell were the organizers thinking? If the people standing at the fences had ever seen a monster truck, why would they keep standing there? Those fences keep people out, not the trucks.

8x10 view camera, and it's not even a field camera either. That's a full-on studio camera he hauled out there. That's a hell of a camera and a bit beyond your normal 'hobbyist'. I think they start at $1500, not counting film holders, lenses, lens boards, film, tripods, light meters, blackout cloak, focus screens,…

Maybe, maybe not. It was a sloppy takedown; the victim let the barrel of the gun go across his body multiple times. If the trigger had been pulled, we'd be watching a carjacking-turned-homicide.

He was probably just trying to get to D&B. If you've ever tried to get to that Dave & Busters, you'll have probably wondered how the hell do I get down there?

When is the tread on a set of tires too far gone to be safe? How do you tell if they're ok for dry weather, but not for snow? Rain? Does it matter?
