I don’t tip on take-out receipts, but I will drop a dollar or two in a tip jar if there’s one at the register. So, pro tip: if you serve take-out and don’t have a tip jar, you’re losing out.

Was the Mercury Capri RS the best Fox-platform car?

One thing that I’m constantly preaching to anyone who’ll listen is an organizational technique I learned from watching Adam Savage: First-order retrievability. The retrievability of every item should be proportional to its use frequency, especially in the kitchen, bathrooms, and other work spaces.

100% CP. I’d rather buy something that’s been driven regularly to car shows on Sundays. Keeping a car like this caged and tortured while sitting on blocks is just asinine. Just drive the damn thing once in a while!

Oh? So what’s it like having no soul?

Ribisi played Kip in Gone in 60 Seconds. They’re about the same age, and they look similar, the films were released a year apart, and the characters are both nervous/twitchy types. It’s probably a common misconception.

He’s a rapper, so wouldn’t it be bassmaster?

At first I was like, “It looks like the Cheap Jeep!”

How did you get juice on the ceiling? Why is there rotten applesauce in the door pocket? How many half-drank water bottles do you really need?

You might trip over stalagmites and stalactites hold tight to the ceiling.

Lesson learned, don’t live in Florida

What’s interesting is that car has the same basic profile as Lightning McQueen. Ferat Vampire, Blood Drive, and Cars all share the same universe! Homunculus theory confirmed! 

Every time I take my cars in for service, the service writer always reminds me, “remember to give us five stars on that survey!” How about no? Don’t tell me what to do. You immediately get only four stars at most and the comment section will aways say, “Please stop telling me to give five stars. I am not satisfied…

My dad recently drove 300 miles from Warren, MI to Joliet, IL to pick up a parts car, a 1970 Chrysler 300 convertible. What’s funny is that after picking the car of most its parts, he sold the shell to another C-body guy who then trailered all the way to Pennsylvania. The poor thing managed to travel over 600 miles by…

Upgrading to the 1.4L gets you the 6-speed transmission, better fuel economy, and more torques (148 vs 125). The turbo motor can also be tuned and upgraded quite easily. The 1.8L... notsomuch.

I had a similar idea to this a few years ago: provide a “manual conversion kit” for cars with a DCT. The kit includes:

It is especially great at fine detail and shaping! That’s primarily why I wanted to get it. My standard beard trimmer has a much bigger clipper head on it that makes it harder to get the detailed shaping I want. The cutting edges on the OneBlade (it has two) is very thin which makes it easier to see where you’re…

I got a OneBlade for Christmas and I love it. Blade razors irritate my skin too much so I’ve always avoided using them. I used to use a trimmer without a guard to shave as close as possible, but this gets a lot closer.
