“One planet is home to an endless rave. (I’ll take a one-way ticket, please.)“
Have you ever been to a three day music festival? Honestly, it’s what I would picture hell to be like... Probably fun for the first couple of days, but then never being able to leave would be torture.

This article made me wonder if I was having a stroke.
I guess NP with today’s prices - BUT - I protest, clean the damn car. Disgusting. Did he just move a load of sheetrock? Bags of cement? When was the last timing belt?
I’m torn on this one. The Element is super reliable and a fantastic formfactor. $6900 today is like $4k in 2019-market-dollars and I would like to think this is a good deal at $4k, thus at $6900 it should be as well, even though I am very resistant to accepting this “new normal”. In this particular car, I would have…
If you replace a clutch early, you can often get away with very minor flywheel resurfacing and you also have the very-important planning ability on your side. If you wait for your clutch to take a dump, you will be without transport for at least a day if the shop has zero-wait. If you replace it proactively at…
Slide 4: “Any wheel where the number of spokes is not evenly divisible by the number of visible lugs.”
From about 2015-2020, Honda was putting out some really hideous wheel designs. Here’s a few more:
These Corolla wheels trigger my OCD like none other
Honda loves to do these terrible machined face geometric bullshit wheels. Most are terrible. These are probably the best ones, and they still aren’t great.
This awful CRV wheel. Ugh.
Unfortunately, I can see the Academy adding more violence next year to increase viewership. Dame Judi Dench and Olivia Colman in fisticuffs. Timothee Chalamet slamming Tom Holland’s head into the stage. John Williams leaping from the ring to deliver a diving clothesline to Hans Zimmer.
Um, is that a BMW kidney grill on the side?
As much as I love the look of the legacy gt/outback xt wagons, I always avoided them for reliability reasons. My buddy went against my advice and bought an ‘08 outback xt a few months back, had it about a month later the turbo grenaded and took a rod bearing with it on its way out. Totaled an otherwise clean car…
I shudder to think what that engine’s going to look like inside after a school year of one mile trips!
Too late, you already recommended a broken Volkswagen to someone who thinks they need a car to commute a whole mile.
If they can make it weak, super thin, and with the texture of sandpaper, then my office building will be very interested.
OH SNAP! This would have been the perfect time for me to suggest a motorcycle.
Jesus. My son (now 20) bought his first car two years ago. $4,000CAD for a 2002 bug-eye WRX. He earned every dollar, pays his insurance, gas and maintenance. He loves it more than life itself. He’ll keep it forever (seriously he has plans). I can’t even comprehend just handing a kid $20K for their first car. My kid…
