“Has Drilled A Grand Total Of 2.4 Miles In 7 Years” What is this, the Big Dig?

Am I the only one who remembers Nissan actually being the first to do this?

Gulls around here have learned to rustle up scallops and clams and drop them on the pavement from 50 feet up to split them open. Sometimes they miss and crack a windshield.

Why on earth is he going back? Any idiot can predict that the company will now be hostile towards him and find sneakier, harder-to-trace ways to fire him or pressure him to quit. If I were him I’d take a settlement and get the hell out of dodge Tesla.

Look at that video I’ve linked. The Cherokee in front of the video taker is considered a mid-sized SUV and it’s barely got a foot of clearance between it and the lines on either side.

Hands down it’s Storrow Drive in Boston. I don’t rattle easily when driving but that road puts me on edge. Dense traffic, narrow lanes, no shoulders, sharp turns and ramps, and everyone is going 50+ when it should be a 40mph road. Oh yeah, then there’s the regular accidents caused by trucks ignoring the LOW BRIDGES DO…

...was Google all out of pictures of actual Wranglers? I know I’m splitting hairs here but any amount of effort at all would have made this better. You could have just said “a Jeep” or picked one of the at least ten Wrangler pictures that exist on the internet, yet here we are.

Say it with me:

The lack of 986/996 Porsches in games isn’t because they’re underrated or anything- From 2000 to 2016 EA owned the exclusive video game rights to the Porsche brand. Nobody else could put Porsches into their games. A few studios got around it by using tuner models (like RUF and Gemballa) but yeah that’s why you don’t…

So it’s like an infinite-bypass turbine?

Unfortunately the answer here is Prius. It introduced, normalized, and popularized an entirely new type of vehicle that now has a HUGE and ever-increasing market share. It was a portent of things to come.

One of my closest friends was an OTR owner-operator for years. I literally have a primary source for info.

Hmmm... this article is written in a voice that seems to fault California for protecting worker’s rights, rather than condemning the trucking companies that deliberately force drivers into working as contractors to avoid providing them livable wages or benefits.

Exactly. Bentley owners don’t know what any airline seat looks like.

On what effing planet does an airline offer seats like that? Unless you’re flying first class on an Air Emirates A380 airline seats are just boards with barely enough padding to not hurt.

I was able to regularly wring 30mpg out of the E39 despite the gearing, which was almost as bad as the Rav4. At 70 it was doing 2,700ish rpm. 

My Rav4. It’s a basic car, yeah, but it’s comfortable enough and quiet enough for extended driving. What’s wrong with it then? The transmission. Mine’s a stick. Toyota treated the manual as utility option, not an economy one, and gave the 5-speed AWD models a massive 4.56 final drive. At 70mph in 5th gear you’re doing…

I don’t know exactly how much space these E-bikes need but I’ve driven both the new Rogue and Outlander (same platform) and they were both great. They can be had with lots of options at that budget point and the Rogue I had as a rental reported 34mpg for the week I had it. Outlander should be similar, and best of all…

When was the last time you saw a white conservative character in real life that wasn’t a world-class jackass?
