That's no joke. I'm glad I'm not the only guy convinced that most of those stories are complete fiction.

So much this. The 'real' stories on Gawker are embarrassing.

Hey. Would be great to include a wee bit on how the McNeil Cycle differs from the typical diesel cycle.

Yeah, I'm thinking this is one downside of the dash cam. Now we have aspiring youtube film makers on the road instead of drivers.

Honestly, I don't think he has a problem anticipating dumb drivers.

Exactly. There's a reason people are flipping him off and calling him an asshole. It is amusing to think of people LOLing at the "bad drivers" and not seeing any problem with this at all.

That's missing the point entirely. Assigning blame doesn't make Halo a good driver!

Parts of Asia are a challenge...good point.

CR-Y me a river

Miata. I was but a wee lad in 1989 when they were released but I'm pretty sure nobody said "You know what we need? A tiny, nimble, 2-seat roadster, imitating the classic British sports car formula, made by a Japanese automaker." And thus a legend was born.

This. So much this. I hate it when people wave you out because of this. I have occasionally stopped to leave somebody room to pull out (so I'm not blocking an intersection, for example), but I don't acknowledge the other vehicle. Certainly don't blink lights or wave at them. Just leave some space and if they use it…

Yep, never wave someone through or you could be held liable for an accident. Just leave space.

That's the cylinder release.

The "safety" on a revolver is generally carrying it with the hammer down on an unloaded chamber. That makes accidental discharge exceedingly difficult.

My read of the article is not that Apple headhunters are doing the LinkedIn sifting, it's i-Fanboi bloggers who are doing all this detective work. That's what's creepy.

Yes, there is still some reference there to "improper" repairs and maintenance, but the warranty doesn't specify affirmatively that maintenance is required, nor does it specify a maintenance schedule (or where to look for one).

Apparently Radio shack sells Nixie tubes. Cool!

her dad sounds like a narcissistic asshole for sure.

I slid my Integra into a tree 4 months before it was due to be turned back at the end of the lease. Had I not hit that tree I would have had to pay thousands to cover my milage overage, as it turned out the insurance company paid off the car and I got a couple grand as well. One of the luckiest things ever to happen…

Can confirm! One of my customers is a BHPH dealer and they spent almost $30k last year on additional keys for the car. Every car is GPS tracked and they get court orders every month for access to the data of where the car has been etc.

Yeah. When she went into the daycare to pick up her kids, probably with the engine still running judging by the description of two guys getting into the car and just driving it off. That takes seconds. It's not like she went shopping with her baby in the car.
