I've also noticed about a similar decrease in longevity on my 4.

This guy is just plain nuts. I've seen it a million times. The crazy guy falls into a lot of money. He's had a crazy idea he's been thinking about since he was a kid, and now he has the means to put that into production. The only thing is that the crazy guy thinks that everyone will like his idea, because everyone…

There will probably be security measures beyond what all of us would conceive as using. If you choose to go to the Olympics, prepare to get an automated virtual cavity search and background check as soon as you get within a mile of that place, probably sooner. London has more surveillance cameras than New York. And…

Holy up in arms. First there's a small glimpse of a dog in the trailer. Then one guy says I hope there isnt dog fighting, then you automatically think there's going to be pitbull fighting and you're talking about boycotting it before it even comes out.

Crazy. I wonder if it is required for people to report deaths in the house? If that were the case, property values will never make a comeback.

Ford tried the IRS in a Mustang, with the '99/01 Cobras, '00 Cobra R and '03-04 Cobras. I own a 99 Cobra. The IRS was designed to fit within the stock mounting points of the original live axle, so the chassis didn't have to be modified. The 99's are the worst, plagued with wheelhop, weak half shafts, and not much…

I would say that Jay Leno's collection is the ultimate display of car guy wealth. He's got exotic cars, supercars, classic cars, race cars, antique cars, one-off cars, custom cars, muscle cars, electric cars, hybrid cars, steam cars, motorcycles. He doesn't have prejudice to any single manufacturer or type of car. …

I'm not saying what they are doing is wrong, or that it should be done any other way. I'm saying that they are doing it right for AirPlay mirroring. Apple TV is the perfect interface for it. $100 is probably cheaper than some other wireless dongle they could make for the sole purpose of airplay streaming, but that…

I see a bunch of graphics on the back of each seat and on the overhead bin compartments. While the graphics on the seat-backs look like safety evacuation information (instead of using a card), who knows, maybe they got sued because the safety information was not "readily accessible enough" when someone got hurt…

It would be cool to see that dyno chart. 2000 LB FT of torque at 1RPM up to 10,000 RPM.

These extra apps are brilliant from Apple's perspective. In order to take advantage of this feature, you have to buy an AirPort router. Just like the AirPlay screen mirroring. First, you have to buy an Apple TV to mirror your screen to your TV, but you must first buy an iPhone 4s because this is one of those "extra…

It's a blessing in disguise. Now all of you worker bees are temporarily liberated from your ball and chain and some peace and quiet without getting asked to come in and work on Saturday, among other menial tasks.

I wonder if Apple intentionally slows down its previous models with the updated operating system to contribute to a number of other factors that makes the user want to upgrade? All those updates throughout the year? You think they intentionally slow down the phone gradually to get users to want a faster phone?

I commend the guy for swapping in a 302. V8 swaps are always awesome, especially in unconventional cars that were in some way related to the auto manufacturer who made the donor motor (like in this case, or a Hemi swap into a Jeep) This could be a pretty good sleeper. He says it's an "HO motor" which means it's…

Well, when you make lawnmower engines, you might have a few developmental delays when developing your corporate jet engines.

Here's a picture I took myself over in Siesta Key, near Clearwater FL. It was for a trailer park.

If that sign were in Utah, there would be 3 or 4 grown women (wives) with 14 children for a "Pedestrian Crossing" sign. Or worse, if it were on a road outside the property of a cult, they all would be running.

Solar thermal plants are a good idea. First, for the ideas you mentioned (storing thermal energy to run the turbine during periods of less light), and because they are less at risk to technological obsolescence. See, solar panels are advancing and becoming more efficient each year. If you build a photovoltaic solar…

I went to IUP! The first Sheetz I experienced was the one right across from the Delts frat house. When I first moved there, I used to hate Sheetz because they were all over and I thought they were a monopoly. (I'm from Northeast PA where they didn't have Sheetz or WaWa yet) Plus, they only sold 92 octante gas…

I couldn't agree more. I'm a Ford guy, but I'm SO glad that other manufacturers are coming out with super fast cars of their own. Competition is great.
