No step on snek!

This is precisely why the President should be required to have been in the military in a combat operation. So that the CIC knows the FULL consequences of their decisions.

True, but hydraulic fluid has coolers and a higher ignition point than wood does. Very much with you on the unpredictable failure modes!

Because wood has this funny tendency to catch fire more often than aluminum. Also it’s heavier. Also it’s a natural material that’s less predictable in its properties than the materials used in modern airplanes.

Sorry, I wasn’t sure if you were being sarcastic or not. :P

Why is this literally the only thing on Deadspin this morning about hockey? The PLAYOFFS started yesterday!!

I think my favorite part is his conversation with the police with all the gold bars just sitting on his desk.
“Well, it is a bit of an emergency... We just found umpteen gold bars in an Iraqi tank we’re restoring and we’re king of sh*tting ourselves.”

My wife is of Filipino descent, even though she was born in Chicago. Ever since Trump’s rise to power I’ve been afraid she’d get treated like this. Or someday my kids will. Thankfully, that hasn’t happened yet and people around here are great for the most part but I can’t help but worry about it.

2 kids and both my wife and I have side hustles that require us to haul things (lumber and clothes), so we’ll keep our “big” cars (Volvo XC90 for the lovely lady, and a Legacy GT wagon for me). I understand where you’re coming from, but the tone is a bit harsh...

When this thing breaks, you can buy my 2005 Subaru Legacy GT wagon. :D :D

C.O.T.D.

If you haven’t yet left West Lafayette due to rain, mechanical failure, etc. look me up for a beer tonight. :)

I don’t know why it keeps taking stars away when I click it, but it’s not intentional... This excellent.

Breaks my first rule of car shopping: must be at least 6 years old already.

I don’t know what strikes me more, the fact that he didn’t take me up on my beer offer should he pass near my house, or the fact that his Jeep ACTUALLY passed by my house.

But..... it’s more fun?

If you break down anywhere near Lafayette, Indiana let me know! Looks like you’re going right through my neck of the woods. I’d be happy to provide emotional support beer while you fix problems. :P

Who buys Buick Encores??? Furthermore, who designed that piece of junk? It looks like a Toyota Echo got a Buick badge slapped on it and then inflated like a puffer fish.

Outback is technically a wagon since it’s on a car platform, not a truck. Wagon FTW!

I almost spit coffee all over my computer when it shredded your roof! That was pretty epic...

Do it Top Gear style: buy a cheap used car, then sell it when you get to Florida. :)
