Thank you, so.....damn......much. I have tried to find an answer to that question for ages, and no one seems to be able to show me a difference. I don’t reside in an area serviced by cabs, so the nature of curbside instantaneous rides vs. call ins was lost on me. This however completely resolves my issue, I used to…

Whats the fundamental difference between uber and a taxicab? If I can’t as a private citizen start my own private taxi service in NYC without a permit medallion, why can I start an app that connects people needing rides to private citizens who want to operate their own taxis?

Now I suppose I can respect an out of context opinion on my driving style........
But I live in a snow state too, Montana, at approx. 7500 ft. elevation. It snows up here...... lots. Like this morning. And I drive a snow plow for a living. So I may be going out on a limb here but I *think* I know how to drive on snow.
T…

Your friend was probably ignorant, but.....

Wow, you mean the California Supreme Court ruled that a private entity was actually public?

Probably not the majority opinion here, but I think she just doesn’t understand.

I’d say Murdoch’s capital is not just financial, but that he’s had a lifetime to make connections in one of the shadiest possible industries (and an array of others) at the most top level of elite players. Zuckerburg on the other hand is one of the few (relatively) dotcom billionaires to make it, granted hes had a…

I went on a hunt for the maximum number of gears I could find on any one vehicle, you smoked my record.

3 range 6 speed with a 2 speed rear end, 36 gears of glory!

Again, not refuting this idea........ just stating its a system composed of multiple factors.

I like your theory about loose material, but I still think a major portion is threshold braking not being achieved by all 4 wheels in the most efficient (Timely) manner.

Not sure if someones pointed this out yet, but the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act, not the American Dental Association) does not protect ESAs. It specifically only states protections for service animals, the standard for that being that a service animal is specifically trained to complete a task that helps the…

You got it backwards, the 4wd will lock up first. The 2wd with heavily biased front brakes (to account for a weight shift that isn’t happening due to the slickness of the surface) will not be at the threshold of grip braking the rear tires yet. Because the 4wd system locks the fronts and rears together, the front…

Underrated post.

Sold a Saab 900 on craigslist, ‘91 convertible. It’d been handed down from person to person, time and time again (I think 5 or 6 cousins had it after an uncle before it was given to me as a young, fledgling driver.) 3 speed Borg-Warner automatic, 2nd gear didn’t work. Power everything, nothing worked. Broke down every…

Changes don’t need to be significant in a low tolerance system to cause minute amounts of odd wear. A rocket scientist should know this!

Irrelevant question.

You could be the first brain surgeon on the moon for all I care, come drive a car around in January in Montana and tell me it’s a great idea to fire it up and head off.........

Right up to the point that he’s not....... Have you ever started a car in negative 20F?

I mean, it is literally called a Cock Pit. Like a pit of cocks....... what’s more heathenistic than that?
