Finally, the softened up Land Cruiser starts to make some sense!

drifting is what it is. Just don't call it racing. After all, figure skating isn't racing either.

Is it sad that I know exactly what that photo is from?

You're assuming the thief has two brain cells to rub together.

It's called "gallows humor." Look it up.

(Nothing to lose your head over.)

This touching story of the recovery of a stolen Corvette reminds me of another:

When Ken crashed, he was leading the time attack style BFGoodrich Hot Lap Challenge, and pushed it just that much too far. I say that, but in all honesty the move the car made did have some of us wondering if a suspension component failure could have been to blame. Until they get it back to the shop, we won't know.

In software I see this all the time. One reason that GUIs work so well is that they all more-or-less behave the same.

Way Back in the Good Old Days, the expected behavior for a GUI was defined in a document titled Common User Access (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Commo…). This document defined how all GUIs were to…

Old Halewood's aisles were narrow and crowded and visitors tripped over piles of carelessly stacked widgets and bits of rusty metal... In the old days managers used to hide in their offices poring over printouts and emerge on the shopfloor only to shout at workers to get them to do their job better and faster, or even…

Shoot — that's not hard. I learned to drive in a Model T, which is harder than the A. At least in the A you have a somewhat normal gearbox.

Marking has nothing to do with it. do you think the cyclist saw the car coming and thought "Gee, no VDOT markings, I think I'll hit it." No.

What are you talking about?

How do we know the SUV didn't?

Fact is that the SUV was a maintenance vehicle and had a right to be there. Furthermore there were WARNING signs stating that maintenance vehicles may be present. The cyclist had 4 seconds to react and did not, meaning either she hit the SUV intentionally, or she wasn't paying attention.

Oops — perhaps the cyclist should have read the warning signs...

The OLD news is that he's out of the coma. If you'd bothered to read Dr. Harstein.s blog, you would have known that the same news was reported in April.

I did. 50k is too goddamm much for a Mustang!

The good news is that it's gained a lot less weight than we thought it would based on the claims made by tuner Steeda, who may or may not have actually weighed the car — less than 100 pounds across the board.

Does anyone know what language this is? Google Translate can't make sense of it.
