What I want to know is did they get a quote from the boring company on the tunnels?

So I think it’s important to point out that a nuclear ram jet does not need to spew dozens of different isotopes into the atmosphere. The reactor itself can be isolated from from the air being heated. You would still have beta and gamma radiation escape, but nothing bigger than that.

Actually MAD doesn’t work. That’s why both the US and the Soviet Union had massive armies. If mutually assured destruction was really a thing then all you would need would be a bunch of nuclear weapons. In actuality, they believe that they would have to fight a conventional war after the nuclear strikes. Hence the…

Yeah, or that I don’t give a flying fuck whether or not a car salesman thinks I negotiate “like a man”. I have a million better things to do than spend time enabling some two bit salesman’s Glengarry Glenn Ross fantasy.

No, the only weird thing is that he went out on stock pads. Most passenger cars come with brake compounds that prioritize nose and dust over brake fade. This is why Porsche has to tell their customers that brakes squeal is normal: a performance compound is going to make noise and generate a lot more dust. But the…

When they’re dead they’re just hookers

I wonder what’s involved in the conversion. I’m guessing wiring harness, pedals and, obviously transmission. Maybe ECU too?

“Sure, my BAC is 0.10, but I’m an alcoholic, dammi-”

Yeah, this was my thought too. You wrecked because you were so drunk you were barely conscious, miraculously didn’t kill anyone, and want to argue 0.08 vs 0.09 when you were blood tested at 3x that? Involuntary rehab.

Is there a reason not to simply use a more durable microfiber like on couches at Target? Pretty sure you can get uv resistant, and it’s pretty durable stuff (my couch is anyway)

Good jalop.

Here’s an open source OBD reader in case any one feels nervous hooking their car (and phone) up to something with questionable pedigree:

Tatra 77

It would be amazing for about five miles, but would have more problems than a geriatric bulldog.

A 5.0 swap might have made sense in 1995, but in 2018 it’s nonsensical, especially at that price point

I think you mean bending over?

I can speak to this somewhat. The first thing to understand is that the “South” and “North” divides are somewhat artificial. Missouri was a slave state that joined the Union for geographic reasons. The second thing to understand is that people who were culturally Southern have migrated somewhat (though I seem to…

Rear seats are still a thing in Europe and other places in the world. Are Vanagon used to have them my grandmother’s EuroVan had them as well. They were so so so awesome to have. You just open the side door all pile in. Nobody had to crawl over anything you just buckle up go. The big reason, I suspect, why they’re not…

It’s really not NP. But I’m voting NP anyway because it’s really cool and despite the quite odd decisions about the interior and what seems to be original engine and transmission (as opposed something with EFI), it’s still really cool.

Limited capitalism would be more good. I don’t necessarily think bunch of mega-corporations coming in and taking over the country would be particularly good
