I thought Canada mandated snow tires in winter?

My first winter living in Iowa, I took a friend from California out to a parking lot so she could see the magic of snow donuts. Now I live in Tennessee and I’m sad because my powerful AWD car basically goes to waste.

I read 2nd the same way, and immediately thought about self-sealing stem bolts.

This is just a Mustang GT with a $7500 ROUSH supercharger, so what they’re charging is exactly MSRP+parts cost. You can still order one from this dealer. They make money on them because basically no one orders one without additional options so the average out the door price is more like $60k, but there’s nothing…

You have 901 stars as of mine, and I still consider this an underappreciated comment.

Right, but if we don’t do it often (and it seems like we don’t) then the cost benefit of the cheaper gun is less, particularly since the other gun is already installed and technically superior. On the other hand, that point is invalid if a single major amphibious landing involves 1000+ shells. I don’t know the…

I am old enough to remember ‘04: everyone knew he was going to be a major player the moment he won his Senate seat. The only question was whether he would run in 2008 or 2012/2016.

Goddamn I need to go on a long, crazy road trip. It’s been way too long.

Interestingly, Lincoln may be able to successfully present itself as more refined than Cadillac via understatement.

The photos are beautiful, to the point where they’d be at home in a museum or a gallery. That said, they don’t make me want to buy a Lincoln. They almost look like they’re an homage to a bygone era; an age when we had a car brand called Lincoln. They fit together like a eulogy, and that’s pretty terrible if you’re…

Sounds like at worst he’s a liberal Southern Democrat. I guess time will tell. For now: Cooper 2020!

I keep hearing bad things about Booker every time his name comes up. I don’t remember any of them offhand, but I think there might be a lot of baggage that would come up.

It’s not. It sounds that way to modern sensibilities, but the language used was pretty standard code for giving a woman an excuse to stay over at her beau’s without “offending her honor” back when that song was written. She had to at least make the excuse that she tried to leave, but couldn’t. The line which gets…

Am I mistaken, or does Central Oregon not get snow significantly more often than Portland?

I’m not knocking Murphy. He seems like a good dude. My concern is that since I’m probably better informed about US politicians than 99% of voters, if I haven’t heard of him he may not have the profile needed. Obama was known nationwide primarily because he spoke at the ‘04 convention. I’m worried that since we didn’t…

I used to know some guys who did local amateur level pro wrestling. They spent a lot of time learning how to do those moves in a way that wouldn’t kill each other.

The main reason to use ship based artillery over cruise missiles is amphibious landings. How often do we do those and how many shots do we use in one? That’s a serious question: the reason you use artillery is the continuous, sustained rate of fire is much higher than with than missiles, so it’s entirely possible a…

He’s just a Lt. Gov., but he’s also a businessman and a TV personality. Exactly what we need.

As much as that makes me like him, the NRA would destroy him for it. They’d paint him even harder than normal as a guy who wants to take away everyone’s guns, and he’d instantly lose a huge voter block. Remember: there are independents and Democrats who own guns too, and not all of them will look into it closely…
