Why is no one asking who should play Bill Clinton?

I had a 2012 V8 X5 for 6 years.  Drove it in the winter, summer, daily, roadtips, it was great.  Had every option and it was literally perfect.  6 years of ownership and not a single problem.

Lifelong power plant operator and pilot. Analog. I’ve preached and preached to electrical engineers and techies who always want to “upgrade” instruments to digital. I can glance at an analog control board and my brain will intake several instruments at the same time. Rate of change is also comprehensible in a very…

When my 98 year old great grandmother moved out of her house and into a care home, she still had an old rotary phone that she had been paying Ma Bell, AT&T, USWest, and whatever other entities were in the chain of ownership over the years, a monthly lease payment as part of her phone bill. Based on some old markings…

This actually jumped out at me more than the cognitive dissonance of using a tree; “Our race trailer is 53ft long, and we load the golf cart, 3 cars, around 100 tire/wheel combos, tools, canopies, etc onto it so it gets heavy, and I like to drive 80 lol”. Truck bros like to pull their trailers as fast or faster than…

It’s one of the best reasons (there are many) why I will never own a GM product. As I drive around and notice cars with a non-functioning light, I can’t help but notice that the vast majority of those vehicles are GM products. It’s been this way for years. The people who design and engineer and build these products…

IF that’s true, then it just means your brother was an outlier, an aberration, a one in a thousand or one in ten thousand exception. There is no question that seatbelts increase your odds of survival by orders of magnitude. That doesn’t mean there aren’t odd examples of the opposite, but the statistics don’t lie, and…

It’s easy to say “If my neighbor had just come talk to me...” But you just never know how people are going to react. There are plenty of unreasonable, unbalanced people in this world and nobody wants to find out their neighbor is one of those people and they are now at war with you.

I have iPhone and Apple Carplay in one car with idrive 7 and another with idrive 6. Tried it a few times and just don’t see the point. There really isn’t anything the idrive (either one) can’t do as far as interacting with the iphone with its native software that I have to use carplay for. I would guess the same goes…

Mostly true, but for 5 bucks and 1 click... I go through tires faster than most people, so no reason not to have one around.

Fair enough. I guess where we differ is the level of the bar which would induce panic.

How much do they plan on paying me to go on a cruise? Whatever it is, it’s not enough.

“I wouldn’t call myself an alcoholic”

Three spelling, punctuation or grammatical errors and I’m out. Didn’t make it past the second paragraph. Whatever Quibi paid for this advertisement, I would ask for my money back.

“by in large”  LOL

“Often a buyer’s best defense against bad deals like these is an old-fashioned calculator and an honest look at the math.”You have to remember, nearly half the population is of below average intelligence.  Stupid people aren’t very good at math.

If she got up and “accidently” dumped a drink in his lap, I would have approved. Regardless of your stance on the rightness of reclining or not, his behavior is waaaaayyyyy over the line, to the point that the original slight is overwhelmingly not even an issue anymore.  Behavior like that should get you put on the…

Please, can we keep some words, maybe just a few, that won’t trigger idiots into calling the user of said words racist? We actually need some words to mean something. Like pure-bread in english, it’s just a word that refers to horses or dogs or whatever that have a certain pure lineage. It’s actually a word that means…

A friend has a Jaguar E-type. Same thing. He let me drive it once. We were talking about torque and he told me to try it in 4th gear from a stop. I did, with not much more than normal clutch slip, no problem. From zero to 140 mph in top gear. It’s a story a tell often when the subject of torque comes up, so I…

I agree, and further, due to the amount of tech and sensors, half the time it tells you something is wrong, it’s really just the sensor that went bad, not the thing it’s supposed to be monitoring.  Not that much difference mechanically between old and new, but if you add twice as many sensors, you’ve just doubled the…
