That was like the extra icing on the entertainment cake. Simple physics, my friend. The same simple physics that allows you to squeeze that big tube of toothpaste through that little hole.

Not as uncommon as one would hope. My mom's business partner embezzled the company to bankruptcy right under her nose. Her life savings basically funded 4 years of coke, gambling and whores. No news blurb to post, though.

Of all the things PA gets wrong (read: stop signs on merge ramps), at least that get that right. Here is another one that people apparently can't comprehend:

Also, brake checking? So much fail.

I was right there with you...until I started working for a company that has the network nazis blocking everything that might be the slightest bit interesting. It's kind of a bummer to not see the content and plan to go home to look it up again later.

In Florida, it's usually acceptable to park on the swale like that. Even the HOA nazis where we used to live didn't have a problem with it...but don't let your palm tree fronds get brown, or you will get a ticket.

Oh, how I have waited for this moment. Interesting story time. In 1993, I worked at a small satellite Ford advanced design group. Our (desperately overworked) system administrator was a really interesting and creative guy that created his own system that he used to make his drive to work MUCH better. Pretty much a…

I feel your pain with my crew cab 4WD Sierra. Sounds like you and I have exactly the same parking philosophy.

Ironically enough, my last employer has huge signs all over requiring everyone to pull into the spaces. Unbelievably difficult in the underground lot with my crew cab Sierra. I think they are much less worried about safety than whether they can read license plates.

Yes, weight savings, but more importantly, weight savings from the nose. Considering they were pretty much all limited to running 4.5" wide bias ply tires, traction was a real issue. They did everything they could to get weight transfer to the rear tires.

Thanks for taking the time for this Q&A session!

If you have to ask if it has too much power, it probably does. If the first question you have is "what is the smallest pulley I can put on it?", it probably doesn't.

It goes both ways. Quite a few years ago, I was helping my girlfriend move and we rented one of the small enclosed trailers. My truck at the time was an extended cab Chevy 3500 duallie that was outfitted for hauling three cars at a time. She sees that warning on the trailer and tells me I have to drive that speed…

Driving the car would of course be a great thrill, but this guy's job is a very close second.

You forgot 4:

Latest report says they were going 45 in a 45

Indeed I did. I was thinking back to the show car I saw many years ago that had the giant gyroscopic flywheel to fight body roll...that ultimately didn't work.

Nice theory, but, not likely. The wheels and driveline have a fair amount of gyroscopic mass, but obviously nowhere near enough to keep the car on it's feet. You would be talking about a massive horizontally spinning flywheel that could do that to a car...one that no sane person would be willing to cohabitate with…

Well, if you are trying to offend a large group, I suppose it's hard to top the list of people that have had kids. Congratulations. I used to have an attitude similar to yours...but then I became old enough to vote.

Holy green boogers on a platter! I know this is the wild open interwebz, but reading through the responses makes me glad I have gained some tolerance with age. There are quite a few really good stories here that would make the most tolerant person saw WTF?, but there are a lot more that are just a product of a…
