So, Nascar has devolved into “everybody chase everybody until the last lap and then it’s a demo derby and the last guy driving wins”  No wonder Nascar is dying.  The cars are identical, they only have a few token “ turn the other way” tracks and races are like watching traffic.  Only F1 is worse.   Contact to improve

“median” pay means half make more and half make less.

My son in law 3D printed a couple elbows that worked great.

Flying commercial is now akin to a greyhound bus with wings and crazy people. It’s always been bad but now it’s just gross. Lets think about the  critical shortage of PILOTS! A Virgin Atlantic flight had to turn around when they realized an uncertified pilot was at the controls.  The backlog of training is going to

West Virginia roads are shamefully bad.  Potholes the size of open pit coal mines

can you provide a link to this story?

Having seen both Detroit Michigan and Springfield Massachusetts the decline in real estate prices seems reasonable.  Neither has a lot of appeal, currently.

When I was young, alligators were endangered and protected.  Some protection of endangered animals seems to work just fine.  Now, how do we control them?

The plastic body looks fine.  I’m gonna need to see the subframes.  Those rot to cornflakes pretty often.  No pics of the underside is a ND.

It’s like building an airplane while it’s flying. “ Can this thing fly with one wing and no windows?””Sure can! go ahead and take off as soon as your check clears.”

Honda’s don’t seem to suffer as much.  Civic was the third word in my post.

In April 1979 we got a brand new Chevy Citation.  It was green and Ok looking.  Drove fine and got good mileage but by 5000 miles the shifting had gotten stiff.  Dealer rebuilt the transmission and gave it back.  In short order it became clear the synchro’s were borked.  The warranty would be up by the time the second

My 2004 civic stripper (crank windows, manual gearbox, no toys at all) has 230 K on it and uses no oil, delivers around 35 mpg and is daily driven. It’s possible to get long life and lower lubrication usage in car, it’s just rarer than it ought to be.  Profit needs to grow, so, that’s likely a factor.

The German’s track record with veracity of statements about performance”are pretty suspect. Some questions. How much does it cost? If you throw enough money at anything it can be fixed. How far “away” is this tech?  Don’t tell me about “in the near future” or next you’ll be shilling a flying car.  More unobtanium.  

My 12 had a glass screen protector on day one.  If that gets scratched, oh well I’ll put on another.  It’s pretty cheap, they are mostly invisible when properly installed and replaceable.  Why not?

Toyota sez Busy for what?

please stop telling people how temperate New England is.  Housing is expensive enough thanks.

soon enough, daddy’s money will run out and the failson will sulk and scuttle off.

prolly easier and cheaper to just buy one.

I’m Shocked!
