Typical Prius driver. They’re not very attentive to their surroundings unless there’s a truck or SUV in the vicinity, then they lose their shit.

Photographic evidence that even people from Massachusetts have trouble spelling Massachusetts.

Now that’s a real pizza work.

You do realize who owns this website, right? ;-)

He’s.... waiting.... on parts from Japan?

Doesn’t that stuff ship overnight?

Not every child is the same. My 8yo loves karting.

Ah yeah, I forgot about the other suspension bits; and the speed limiter thing. Man it’s been a while since i’ve been in the neon-game (15yr hiatus until this most recent project of mine)

Too late. He already traded it for this:

Free Speech means a person is able to do something, but I’m going to reserve my right to call them an asshole when they do.

Anyone who knows much about new Jeeps knows that the Grand Cherokee probably is the most reliable Jeep you can get (Aside from MAYBE a 2 door Wrangler Sport with a stick due to the absence of anything that CAN go wrong), and the fact that CR scores it at the bottom of the brand is enough reason alone for me to

So these are the reliability ratings based on conjecture, not actual testing? Consumer Reports has lost all credibility with me. And I was totally planning on subscribing when I turned 62. Now, I’m out.

Meh...If I want to buy a toaster, I’ll read CR. Not influenced in any way by their weird rating systems and heresey from surveys from morons about cars.

All of this is relentless cheaping out that ultimately screws over the customer had to be approved by engineers within both the parts supplier as well as the automaker.

Based on the photos you post, if anyone knows fakies, it’s you.

Power is the energy it took to read a loquacious explanation, over time.

It’s cool. I don’t think women want you in their vehicles anyway.

Tires are tuned for production vehicles just as much as springs, dampers, bushings, steering, and bars. The tire needs to do specific things. Not just be a tire. Some programs car more about fuel economy than steering feel. Or other programs care more about grip than transient stability. Tires have a lot of

90% of production cars have tires developed specifically for that car. The 205/60R17 Goodyear Assurance on the Chevy Cruise (just an example) is a very different tire than the 205/60R17 Goodyear Assurance you’ll get on a 200 or a Focus. The 225/60R17 Firestone LE2 on the Jeep Compass is also a very different tire

No need, the Navy’s stellar year in the news is plenty enough.

Disclaimer: 12 years Active Duty Navy service. So that’s (former) Petty Officer Dickhead to you.

These days, at least this year, a US Navy Ship returning to home port under her own power and not having rammed another ship or ran aground is enough to fly a “Mission Successful” banner....
