Damn these idiots and their “rolling coal” on the streets!

Because all of the advances in fuel efficiency are being used to increase power and performance, not fuel economy. If it had 220 hp and weighed 3300 lbs. like the original the fuel economy would be spectacular.

But the HP is 65% higher, and the car is 1000lbs heavier. It’s pretty amazing that it’s the same.

My husband and I are looking for a house now, and my mother-in-law keeps telling us to get on Property Brothers— so she can (her words) “hump them.”

Why do they put a goddamn sectional in every house? NO, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH GODDAMN SPACE JONATHAN. OR DREW.

I would really like to hate them, but I can’t help it. I love them. They are creepy-looking, but they have pleasant personalities, and they are pretty much the only hosts on HGTV who don’t annoy the shit out of me.

So, when the government is forced to procure services from a cartel they shouldn’t try to find ways to bring competition to the market? The alternatives would have been to either break up the ULA or build their own rockets. I doubt either option would have encouraged more innovation.

If by awesome you mean “Sweetened ear wax”, then yes.

I think you mean they should have measured it in freedoms.

The fear with North Korea (or Russia for that matter) is that all power is really, truly collected in the hands of a single dude. If he decides over lunch that he wants to remake the economy, then that’s what’ll happen that afternoon. If he decides that he wants to nuke the USA by morning, then the button gets pushed.

But I don’t understand how you can say “I’m only beholden to biblical law” and then claim you have a constitutional right to anything, since by your own admission, you don’t recognize the constitution as granting rights.

Because they didn't need to. In the past trucks were all about payload and towing and how strong or tough your truck could be. Now buyers are paying closer attention to fuel economy and it has become a big enough factor that companies are willing to put in the investment to upgrade a plant for aluminum and are putting…

Tens of thousands of engineers, and if only the auto industry had hired you, we could have been driving ecoboosts in 1999. Oh, to dream.

Why have the trucks been that heavy, and all of a sudden, "oh look, we shaved off 1000lbs., just like that!"

Daddy?!

I love that there was once a time when a U.S. sailor could ride around in a bespoke piece of automotive history for what is today's equivalent of roughly $10,000. A sailor today would be lucky to have the extra cash to spring for a luxury brand, much less even a limited edition of one. That must have one helluva…
