We have already, I have numerous friends who completed their armed forces contracts and went back as contractors, earning far more money with according to them, far better equipment.

There’s no worse way to do anything than to put it in the government’s hands...

My mom’s escape has 3 pedals, and it’s quirky fun until you load it to anything above 4 adults, then it struggles to get out of its own way. 

We had one when I was a teenager. I learned to drive manual on it. It was my mom’s, but I ended up with it a few times, including a couple epic road trips in college. Same interior, but ours was white exterior. Nostalgia his hard!

The more I hear about the show, the more I’m glad I read the book after S1 and said “that’s good enough for me”.

An auto-start on a manual transmission vehicle, left in gear with the clutch pedal override disabled will lurch like this.

My dad was an engineer at VW in the 80s. Got all sorts of test cars, and subsequently also bought and sold several VWs. The family Jetta became my first car a decade later (a Mk2 Wolfsburg). The coolest though? The Westfalia camper. It was brown. We took it camping a few times including the Smokey Mountains. My…

His chapters in the Tales books are pretty introspective though.

“No disintegrations” was covered in a Comic series where Vader hired him to track down a rogue Imperial General. IIRC it involved lava. I’d have to dig out the comics from my storage boxes...

Maybe I can get a good deal on one now...

I get it. I don’t disagree with many of the points quoted to CCP devs. I just don’t see how this doesn’t end in tears.

Amen! Opting out of SS would be so nice...

I agree with you. Much like a Harley Davidson, or a Mercedes, I’ll never be old enough to own a Corvette. I think Corvette, like Mustang, is not a brand... but does have meaning, which gets diluted when they do stupid stuff like this. Being a metro Detroiter I have no idea wtf has happened to the Big 3 (2?) these…

Personally, I don’t think I’d ever really get onboard with wearing something like this on a day to day basis, and I’ve used corrective lenses since the late 80s when I was in 4th grade. The Google promo video was indeed exciting, but a bit too much. I feel chained to my smart phone without a constant reminder on my…

The bear fight in the movie about all I remember from it.

The VW GX-3. So wonky and cool at the same time. 

Bullet Proof Glass shatters to absorb the energy of the projectile, preventing it from penetrating, while maintaining a barrier... vs usual automotive tempered glass which crumbles.

Which in the meantime just tells me that names don’t mean anything anymore. When I was a porter/detailer at a Chevy dealership 20 years ago Blazer meant SUV, and Trailblazer was a fancy trim package. Then Trailblazer was the name of the next gen Blazer, now Blazer is a unibody thingamajig bigger than the old Blazer Tra…

I get it. Sheeple want little SUVs. But. I don’t get Chevy’s approach to this. It’s like throw EVERY idea into production and see what will sell? The Equinox is (allegedly, based on what I hear on Metro Detroit radio and see on the road) the best selling small crossover/suv/whatever these days, this seems like an able…

Same, grew up in metro Detroit. I didn’t learn about them until I was in college (at a University in Detroit). We learned about the Detroit riots (family members had to flee them) though.
