A multimeter is absolutely a unique tool if anything is- there is almost nothing with such a wide range of test capability in such a small package.

I don’t know about y’all but I am not buying any vehicle built for the next 12 months or so... that cannot be good for them to be sitting unfinished in the elements, untended, while critters have their way with the undercarriage.

I’m usually pretty dang liberal but I don’t see how it’s much of a victory for the working class. Most of the medallions traded for hundreds of thousands of dollars and were not owned by taxi drivers themselves, but larger companies (like the f*ing hedge fund CIO commenting on how great this is for taxi drivers). I…

Volvo seats are absolutely peerless!

Not to mention that 5-cylinder sound is glorious and it’s just plain fun to put your foot down. The responsiveness is so much better than most V6 midsize sedans it was competing with. It is a shame that they replaced it with smaller-displacement 4-cylinders.

It’s a pretty standard thought experiment to find out where someone’s empathy lays, and it isn’t necessarily in bad faith. If you find it idiotic and unrealistic, you’re missing the point. The questioner wants to know if you really mean what you said, that any deal is fair as long as the imbalance of power is only…

Forget it Jack, you’re arguing with libertarians. No matter how good your thought experiments are, you can’t sway someone who is aroused by fantasies of enthusiastic wage slaves that unconditionally support the rights of the wealthy and powerful, and are prepared to dutifully work and die without ever having…

I’m going to pointlessly jump on the pile and say the route is downloaded in advance pretty damn seamlessly in the continental US so even losing a signal for hours won’t forget what it calculated (it just won’t let you see alternatives or account for traffic ahead) unless you close the app. But you can also…

Ultralight aircraft also cannot be operated over controlled airspace or any congested area in a city or town, which in practice means that you’re basically limited to flying entirely over your own private property or far from any populated area, or you’re hoping there’s no authorities who see you. I have daydreamed…

As much as I like the idea of more rental EVs, I hate Hertz with a passion due to previous customer service experiences. I would never rent from them again - Enterprise, Budget, Thrifty, anyone else but Hertz.

Yeah, my thought too. I mean, I wouldn’t know what to say offhand to Megan Thee Stallion either, as I’d be starstruck, but if I were trying to get celebrities to engage with me as a professional, I’d not lamely ask them to perform as though their art was a joke, or that they came seeking my attention and approval.

It would be a poetic justice, considering Thomas was confirmed to fill the seat previously held by the great Thurgood Marshall.

It’s probably an excuse he’s using for the real reason, which is that he owned multiple cars and wanted to sell the Lincoln and make a profit (given the market nowadays). But he couldn’t do it, even though he had paid for it, because he didn’t have the title.

I’m a Texan and I think Suburbans are awful, at least nowadays.

I interpret this question not from a standpoint of “how long does the average single unit last without major mechanical problems?”, but “how long can a fleet of them stay in productive use?” There are some strong contenders there. Checkers did last about a decade after end of production before they started to become…

Their thinking was that the American car buyer would remember that the Vega had somehow gotten 1971 Motor Trend Car of the Year and ended up the biggest POS of the decade. So GM didn’t want to immediately tank the credibility of their next small car by claiming that it was the best when the last time that they had…

I don’t think Point A is that farfetched. Many states let sellers file a vehicle transfer notification document to limit their liability, but it either isn’t processed as quickly or doesn’t go to the right authorities. I’m sure eventually it works but you can fall into the cracks. The first car I sold, I did not…

The only thing the base model lacks that I think some people might consider essential is cruise control, adaptive or otherwise.

I could argue that James Bond is fortunate to still have Aston Martin, when it could have gone the way of a thousand other British manufacturers of the era when Fleming wrote, which would leave James Bond feeling even more dated.

I had a buddy with a V6 Camaro of this generation. It had the ride quality of a Jeep, the get up and go of a 1.4L Suzuki, and the build quality of a 90s Kia. His was actually in worse shape than this Firebird, though.
