I had a guy tell me once that his HS team lost the state championship on a walk-off balk, caused by their closer's poor eyesight and refusal to wear glasses and his resulting squinting and fidgeting on the mound. No clue if it's true or where/when it happened, but the guy who was supposedly pitching was one of the…

Oh, it isn't finished? I'm sure that there are contractors who will be willing to help out for a bit more cash to make sure it's done in time...

Well the first problem is that there probably aren't 200 billion pennies in circulation.

Heat fan just realizing there's a basketball game going on

Awesome.

Is the passenger sensor going to be weight-based or electronic? Because my car has a capacitive seat sensor, so it gets triggered by things like cell phones and water. If I put my phone or tablet on the seat, the airbag minder beeps and blinks and goes generally nuts. I couldn't imagine being prevented from…

It still cracks me up that this car is called the BMW GINA:

There, I fixed it:

No exaggeration: Other than that one single piece, this is the most beautiful car I've ever seen. I swear.

I also like the girl who gets cut off at the end.

You are 100% correct. I was thinking of J1772 plugs, which are all over. Still, those require an additional adapter that costs $299 for a plug adapter or $499 for a plug located on the bike. Not terrible but still an unfortunate extra.

You aren't joking, Zero bikes are incredibly overpriced. The worst part is that the CHAdeMO plug adapter (the terribly-named standardized plug you see at EV charging stations) is a $1799 extra! You pay between $10k and $17k for one of these and you can't even charge it in the EV spaces at the local mall. That's…

Does anyone know why I can't reply to comments other than "because Kinja"? I can apparently post my own comment, but I can't even open the reply box.

The BRZ comes with automatic HIDs. I agree that automatic lights are a good thing, though.

And here's another jump of the same car from a different angle.

Batters in sunglasses. Sounds great.

Ooh, a hockey story!

Well, this would be a reason to keep it for sure. But based on the experience I had over the past year, I'm not renewing. My experience is atypical (multiple times waiting 3+ hours for a tow... in the city) but it still is far from worth it for me. Plus, towing to a shop is included in my car warranty anyway and I…

Thanks for reminding me to cancel my AAA service.

I use the bluetooth to help me ignore those squeaks, creaks, and rattles. And the crickets. My god, the crickets.
