It’s likely the trunk popped open due to water pressure - the car was probably floating just enough to put stress on the latch and it popped open on it’s own. Happens a lot to flooded cars when the trunk is sealed well while the rest of the car sinks and fills with water.

After last year’s freakout, people around here (Portland, OR) have taken to doing this pretty much all the time. It snows maybe once a year up here, and it doesn’t get so cold that you have to wait long for your windshield to de-frost (not thaw, not melt, but simply defrost the little frozen ice crystals).

1) Order something large, like a garbage can, from Amazon

So, not to be too pedantic, but the SSC had to set a record in the first place, which it did, and technically it never lost it, because the Veyron wasn’t left in ‘stock’ configuration.

‘MIDWEST’?

Just last week my buddy bought an ‘02 Ford Focus for $450 just across the river in Washington state. All it needed were new engine mounts and an O2 sensor and it was running like new again.

Funny, I awoke this morning to an extended period of SUNLIGHT DIRECTLY IN MY EYEHOLES. It happens.

You heard wrong. ODOT uses a liquid sodium mix (aka ‘brine’ or liquid salt) on select areas, like in the gorge, on elevated bridges, and mountain passes, whenever possible. Of course they use plows and sand in the mountains, but where they expect heavy traffic they do lay do a liquid de-icer agent. Honestly, compared…

Probably not an Oregon car though -

So regular Jeep action then? 10 gallons of extra water should do it...

The joke I WANT to make involves flannel and certain members of the fairer sex who’ve forsaken ‘natural’ attraction for a more...intimate and familiar type of love. But I live in Portland so I’d be pissing off like half my neighbors and I know they’d find out.

THEY BE SLUMMIN IT.

Ok, to be fair...Oregonians are completely incapable of most things car- and driving-related. I’ve been here for a few years now, and having lived in other states where doing the speed limit will get you pulled over and/or shot at, I am still astonished and terrified of the people who get behind the wheel in this…

I hope he’s just alive enough to know a certain kind of hell of not being able to move or speak or interact but just, you know, be there, and I hope every single caretaker he has is black, and totally expressive about that part of their life.

HOLY JESUS THAT BOY LOOKS THIRSTY.

Backwoods Bastard is one of the best examples of this style, hands down. Founders got it right and though many others have tried they never get it quite right. I still remember the first time I tried it, at a bar that amazing had 2-for-1 craft beer specials...I ordered two globes and had a greeeeeeat night!. Sooo…

So, hey, even ‘docked’ bike shares allow riders to park the things wherever they like, just with an additional fee if it falls outside certain areas. For instance, Portland’s much-maligned Nike-sponsored Biketown lets you ‘lock’ the bike within a wide range of downtown areas for free, but if you take it to the…

OKAY I’VE GOT A FUN ONE FOR YOU:

That’s what happens when you let your girlfriend dress you.

CAN WE JUST BE DONE WITH 2017 YET?!?

SERIOUSLY. You people - by which I mean all of you, out there, not in my head - are all terrible. You can’t let anyone have a hero anymore; everyone is suspect of some terrible thing in their past and those who aren’t terrified of the past aren’t paying enough attention to what…
