The FJ does not have full time AWD.

Do. Not. Buy. MOPAR.

Interesting about the Roddenbury stuff. I’m a big fan of the shows and rewatch them a lot (mostly TNG and DS9) but I don’t like looking behind the curtain. I think Roddenbury’s concerns make a lot of sense, but I don’t think DS9 betrays anything he set out to show us. It takes a much, much deeper look at what he set…

This, definitely this.

I think I did watch the show when it aired, but fell off a bit in the last few seasons which are, arguably, the best. I admit it - I rewatch Star Trek a lot. Escapism is, I think, a big part of the franchise for me. Its not the utopian aspect, its that there are still problems and they usually manage to deal with them…

Ahem...

I think that’s a great way of putting it. People hate Ezri but I think it’s the timing that really made the character not work for a lot of people. It does stand out as a massive hiccup in the middle of an enormous fantastic space war when you watch it end to end.

Agree with the comment above that 7 meandered a bit then slammed it all in at the end.

I saw the picture on the article earlier, and happened to notice the exact same mouse connected to my server (went downstairs to turn it back on after an electrical upgrade). :)

There are some similarly priced cars which also have issues. The boxsters/caymans are what I was looking at. Not unlike the vette, the issues weren’t dealbreakers. Unlike the Vette, though, fixing porsches costs a fuckload of money. The harmonic balancer issue on the LS3 which is really the only known issue?…

Right, because real things will happen as a result of this report. Opinions will be changed, Legal proceedings will ensue. Totally.

Its gotten to the point (and admittedly I am tall and have back problems which also result in me being fat) where I think I’m going to start flying business class for any and all personal travel. I fly a bit for work and it’s just getting impossible. The width of the seats means I am constantly twisted to one side…

Totally agree.  The valve issues are certainly fixable but as a bargain sports car the Grand Sport is obviously the way to go.  The targa top (clear targa top!) is super super nice too.

I have a Grand Sport without the valve issues and I still think what you’re saying here is a crock of shit. The valve issues on the LS7 are serious, for sure, but can be fixed. As far as the rest of the car, I don’t see why you say they’re junk...they actually have a pretty solid reputation for being very reliable.…

The Grand Sport, which I have, is probably better as a bargain sports car. There are well known issues with the valves on the LS7s in the Z06s. Certainly not a deal breaker at all, but it’s something used buyers need to look out for and potentially have fixed. The Grand Sport gives you the dry sump, widebody, etc.…

Never took martial arts as a kid, but did some Muay Thai later in life. The best thing a martial art is going to teach a kid is confidence. They’ll have the confidence to know that if a fight happens they will be able to take care of themselves and that they don’t have to put up with an unlimited amount of shit from a…

As I mentioned, the amount of bullshit that gets tossed around is my main issue here, not preserving the fossil fuel industry. When we switch, what we switch to, the other environmental factors involved, etc. all play a role in this debate which is currently being dumbed down to “EV’s are cleaner!” I’ve read some…

You mention the carbon footprint of producing the car at the beginning of your comment but it falls by the wayside a bit in the links you provide. The calculator specifically says it does not take production into account.

You must mean the electric car lobby, because the issue is hardly as straightforward as people like to think it is.

Um.
