Dude tried to get into the building by sneaking in when someone else was going out. He was deliberately trying to get around the access control system. Not exactly a case of a guy getting called out for his attempt to “stand on the sidewalk”. In every access control building the rules are simple you don’t allow people…

The operative phrase here is “When done prudently....” Problem is a lot of riders don’t do it to improve safety, they use it as a get out of traffic free card. When bikes are lane splitting, and moving much faster than the flow of traffic, the results are as we see above in the video $kaycog posted.

I’d like to know how good the Satnav is. For instance if I am at

What about the bearings.  These mower engines normally don’t have big end bearings, they just wear the crank and rod.  It seems like the added torque will kill this thing in short order.

To be fair, Heathrow has the most to gain with this change. It is the only airport where I have seen someone’s “liquid items” bag get rejected because it was too big. There was only one item in the bag, and it was clearly small enough to fit in the required baggie size, but the Heathrow screen bravely stood his…

Neutral: Cheap, Yes. But your definition of small and mine are going to be at odds. In order for it to be a proper pickup, it needs a proper bed. An 8' bed. My definition of a small pickup is a standard cab with an 8' bed.  It must have a decent 4x4 system with at least a locking rear diff. And it had better be able…

Aside from the OTHER reasons to hate Chicf-fil-a, they are not open on Sunday. Airports, which have a limited number of restaurant choices to begin with, are deliberately allowing a franchise to take up one of those spots with a business that will not be open on Sunday. This is BS.

Google is behind this. Youtube is slowly loosing views. A few thousand videos of people crashing while trying to use pogo sticks is just the thing to bring new views.

Star Trek (the reboot). Hated the enterprise, and no matter how much I love Simon Peg, he is worthless as a Scottie. Every five minutes in this film I wanted to shout “This Episode was badly written!”.

Technically a model not a make but....

I can’t say I am a fan of the little electric compressor setup in the photo of the GT6. I have used these on a couple vehicles and found that they don’t last very long. Also the FIAMM “freeway blaster” diaphragm horns I replaced them with were definitely louder. I have an air tank and solenoid driven air horn in my Sub…

What do you mean you have to put oil in your carb drink for it to work properly.....

And an important lesson was learned on this day. At IMS stick to safer beverages like beer and Mt Dew. This is not an F1 race. Anything F1 like in nature has probably been gathering dust in the back of storage garage since the last time the US GP was here. Same rule goes for track food. Get a track dog or a…

More like he is just trying to get off the track before someone else get collected. Watch the video again, he is steering left the whole time.

Counterpoint. I enjoyed this book. The audio book, read by Rosario Dawson is also very good. There may be a few moments where the main character/narrator says things that you don’t feel they should, but have you even read the Martian? I found it to be a delightful exploration a place I would definitely want to visit.…

Did you really refer to Nazarath Speedway as “Old Race Track”? Really?  This is one of the most historic race tracks in the country.  And while it may have been eclipsed by bigger and newer tracks in the last couple decades, it will always have an important place in the history of American motorsports.  “Old Race…

The only thing underrated about these trucks is the scrap value. They rusted worse than even the GM’s of the era. The transmission could be counted on to self destruct at about 100k and engines, while they continued to run developed inexpiable leaks of fluids whee none seemed possible.

Are you thinking of the S10 based Blazer. Cause that is a different animal than the full size Blazer that was still on off well into the 90's. The GMT-400 based Blazer was a good truck, worth of the name. The S10 Blazers were also good for what they were. They were based on a truck frame and had truck motors and…

It’s got the early euro-style bumpers. It has the right wheels. The non-hideous shifter.  All the plastic bits are there and look to be non-broken.  I love everything about this car....except the price. Sadly CP.

“Long Bed”   You keep using that word.  I do not think it means what you think it means.
