My boss when to NC State (engineering school) back in the early 90s and apparently it was big fun (somewhat sarcastic, because engineers) to set up lawn chairs near that bridge, get beer, and hang out watching trucks run into this bridge.

Thank you! I mean, the bridge has been there a while, surely the moron engineers could have solved the problem by now, right? Duuuuurrr, I dunno, maybe it’s more complicated than it appears?
Can’t edit - meant won’t replace just one tire, obviously a tire supplier won’t replace the whole car.
Run flats are extremely expensive and can’t be patched. And most tire suppliers won’t replace just one car - at a minimum it is two. So... no. I want a spare and I want a tire that can be patched.
At what point in the history of my life has Harley-Davidson’s target demographic been “young people?” They’re expensive death machines. Young people want the cheaper, deathier machines. Only old dudes can afford Harleys. Or so it appeared when my dad ditched the crotch rocket for a Harley.
That statement actually made me realize that generally the only time I have been told I should smile is after a guy has made an inappropriate comment and I’m glaring at him. WTF, dudes? Shouldn’t you be better than this?
Coasting in neutral down mountain passes is illegal - at least in Colorado.
But this train is FASTER than other trains. And in a large pipe system. It’s revolutionary. Duh.
On a more serious note, however, a maglev train in Japan travels in open air at about half the speed proposed by Hyperloop. I am totally cool with getting from Denver to Vail in 18 minutes instead of 9. Maybe we look at…
I feel like the 1:6 number is low. I really do.
I appreciate this. I’m working on it. I’m not perfect, but I try. I could do more. I’ll try harder. For humanity, for people I care about, for the betterment of the human race, and just because it’s the right thing to do.
Hey Erik, can we talk about how the rodents are eating through soy-plastic wire coverings? I don’t remember ever seeing anything on Jalopnik about it, but it’s happened to a few Escapes I know about (we have a mini-fleet of these at work and more than one has been damaged and more than once) and a 4Runner and…
That’s the thing, too - if everyone takes a knee, then there’s really not much Jones could do about it, is there? I would love every player, or at a minimum every black player, in the NFL take a knee. It would be glorious.
Cuz covering maternity, child birth and a new kid is so much cheaper than some pills.
Mmmm... green chili. yum.
Not an answer to your question, but a suggestion of foods: sous-vide some sausage, put it on a skewer with some veggies. Grill when ready to eat. Boom, dinner. If you’re feeling really plucky, you could even just throw the veggies and meats on a sheet pan in the oven (I usually throw the meat in at the end since it’s…
After I graduated from college I needed a new car because the clutch on my beloved ‘88 Celica went out and it had been in an accident and wasn’t worth repairing. My dad came to the rescue with a ‘92 Pontiac Bonneville so I didn’t have to buy a new car. The only catch was I had to go to Ohio to get it and drive it back…
Maybe if they reversed the first two numbers in the price of the M5, it would be in the same general class as the Stinger. Still a little high, though.
Some people want driving performance and a place for their kids to sit.
Wow, way to go, Mr. 305.
