4 inches (or less) created the demand for the taller hoods in the first place.

1958 Buick. Look at this jet age cowling:

The guy says he’s spending up to $1,500 to replace the tires, so at the very least he’s not putting LingLongs on his EQS.

It always spikes my volleyball when I see expensive cars sporting rubber that is barely safe enough for a Radio Flyer.

Global warming leads to rising sea levels, and impoverished land dwellers seek refuge on flotillas of floating homes... where is Kevin Costner when you need him?

Fuck. No.

This and those stupid ass commercials of the dipshits clapping along to Queen instead of driving makes me rage. If you don’t want to drive or don’t have the competency to drive/ tow then gtfo of the 3+ ton vehicle. 

I honestly can’t think of a worse application for hands-free driving than when pulling a 10,000 pound trailer.  Towing a trailer requires you to be on your toes the entire time, and this encourages just the opposite.

Canadian (Québec) here, with 49 years of winter driving experience starting in RWD American body-on-frame cars.

As a recent WRX owner, currently driving the car in winter conditions on 4 winter tires - it is one of the most confidence inspiring cars I’ve ever owned for bad conditions like this. If feels unflappable - it goes when you want it to go. It stops when you want it to stop. It turns predictably. Frankly it almost feels…

ND. I’ll give ya $9,000 and a 20 piece McNugget with three missing. 

Primitive and crude? Because fire? The old school electric coil ranges, now they feel primitive and crude. 

The BMW diamond key was a pretty elegant design. Not only did it retain a fairly normal size and shape, the buttons were well integrated and the key battery was charged wirelessly when inserted into the ignition.

“Yeah, my truck only gets 1/3 of the advertised range. But that’s only because of the weather. And my driving at highway speeds. Sure, the infotainment screen stopped working for multiple hours on end. But it finally worked again! And these things weren’t made for the current infrastructure because of the cables being…

I like to say anyone with a day’s training can scan and bag, but not everybody has the day’s training. Recently I’ve been opting for the staffed checkout because I get a whole lot more impatient watching six people suck at ringing up groceries than watching one person do it competently.

but for those who don’t have an at-home charging solution, allow yourself ample time and charge to get to a public charger.

its the stores themselves that made it a problem. i dont think people have a problem with self checkout. its more convenient and faster. its being forced to use one with no alternative because they wanted to save money. im not trying to make this a weird generational thing, but a lot of older people dont want to…

Setting aside the tow-yard stuff for a sec...

That time we were getting shot at in a Chinook while slingloading an uparmored HUMMVEE in Afghanistan.

Cool. Sounds like you have a dope life.

I used to take my DD Subaru to the track several times per year. It had maybe $4K-$5K in suspension, intake/exhaust, ECU, and brake upgrades and while it was a bit stiff for city streets, it was perfectly fine on the street and well-suited for track duty, albeit not at a competitive level. There are plenty of weekend…
