Arg. My range rover is only 13, yet I still feel myself having half of the "old british car" conversations. I once explained to a date why my car's unofficial moniker is "P38A". (project was code-named pegasus during development and was built in Solihull's 38A building) Might explain why there was no second date...

@Arnold Qin: Fun fact: concrete takes 28 days to cure to its design strength, so when you see bridges and overpasses being built of concrete its necessary to allow them to cure for at least a month before they can be loaded. Also, concrete is never fully cured and continues to gain strength over its lifetime.

@ploopsy: but if you like dank...

One of my absolute favorite things to do in summer is sit outside with an old battery powered phillips transistor radio and tune into Mets games on WFAN 660. Theres something about the quality of the broadcast that is just... perfect. I know the same stream is available online and I know all the games are televised…

It might look like a range rover (if a drunk infant designed it), but it won't do this.

Didn't this happen in cartoons, except with public works guys installing a fire hydrant where there once was a parking meter?

@SkelatorDan: Ah heads up seven up. the ultimate "teacher has a hangover, now be quiet for 30 minutes, children" game.

I think the small red spot out in Jersey (on the nyc map) is Giants Stadium.

@Philip Han: Remember when you would close one window and 3 more would open, then you'd be stuck in a loop?

@random2281: The "yield to entering" circles occur when a major road (like rt 33 or 35 in monmouth county) intersects a minor road. The circle functions to allow the main road to keep moving and the minor road to wait.

@superflat44: Or a DE razor. Blades are so cheap that you can buy 120 (enough to shave every day for 4 months with a brand new blade) for around 30 bucks. Fusion cartridges are about 30 bucks for 5. Also the blades are made by the likes of japanese surgical scalpel companies, and british sword companies.

@cmdrfire: May I draw your attention to: [jalopnik.com]

@Daaoak: Thats so much like an airplane. clearly it couldn't be for something as pedestrian as opening the fuel door...

Murilee: as long as you still have access to a computer and can keep supplying us with LeMons play by plays, classic ad watches, DOTS (and bonus editions), junkyard finds and the awesome projects that you manage to make from those parts I'll be happy. My favorite parts of Saturday morning are always sleeping late,…

There's a simpsons clip I can't find where Marge is trying to get the town to repave main street. The potholes have become so gigantic that a popcorn delivery truck can drive in, explode and then fill the hole with popcorn.

Its hard enough to work on my Rover with having to lean over the insanely high fenders to get at anything in the engine bay. French cars are not exactly known for their reliability... I am really nervous about having to fix anything while crawling around in that trunk. I also have a sneaking suspicion that the engine…

@TuxRug: Purchased. Thanks for the heads up on that one. I've been looking for a car adapter for awhile but they are all far too bulky. Thats a fantastic solution that will still allow me to close the cover on my ashtray when not in use.

@relawson: Thats nothing. My friend in college used to cook hot dogs in the toaster. Not a toaster oven, oh no. the two-slot bread kind. He would do the hot dog on one side and the bread on the other. Pretty hysterical.

@Sorc: My dad bought a weber genesis grill three summers ago, that's hooked up to the natural gas in the house, so its always good to go. He's been out there during blizzards flipping steaks. I have a photo of him standing over the grill in a snowstorm, holding a tiny umbrella against the snow, tending the food. Its…

@Tossed Accord Taco Salad all over Malibu's face: Most newer cars have a metal plate over the lock mechanism so that this type of entry doesn't work anymore.
