Missing in the ‘66 Cutlass critique (well, a lot was missing from that critique) was that the Super Turbine 300 utilized a variable-pitch torque convertor in place of a third planetary set in the transmission. When they work right, they’re perfectly cromulent mid 60s transmissions.

Our school system started with either Spanish or French in 7th Grade, and by high school they expand to include German and Italian, and they are mandatory. Students I’ve spoken to are stunned when I mention that I didn’t even take a language in high school.

I don’t know about the bunker, but long, long ago when I was in 9th Grade, in Social Studies we simulated an aircraft hijacking (this was WAY before 9/11, a simpler time when hijacked planes were flown somewhere, landed, and held for ransom). I got put on the “terrorist” side of the negotiation, and the only other…

Considering some of the other more salacious things uncovered in that surveillance video, she might have blown it in another 5 minutes.

The old Cup car is interesting. Is it an Ernie Irvan car or a Derrick Cope car? And which would make it more valuable?

Mid-2000s Buick LeSabre, though they can be killed if you try hard enough.

Joking aside, this would be an interesting test of the BS original intent theory, because leaving your firearm unsecured in your vehicle would seem to not meet the “well organized militia” part of the 2nd Amendment that they otherwise ignore.

Let’s be honest here, having gone down the Sovereign Citizen rabbit hole, this kid’s future was likely limited already.

Too many deviations from stock to be worth the asking price (I see it’s too low, the exhaust is all sorts of screwed up, the radio, the steering wheel. Is that seat factory?) even if the mileage is to be believed. ND.

When they can stay under their covers and doomscroll all day long...

And that is exactly what they do; look for any technicality to no play out the claim.

If you’re terrified that a random think might happen, lock yourself in your house, but check the CO detectors first.

This cannot be stressed enough.

Most likely the dealer bought insurance to cover the value of the car should someone make a hole-in-one, but those insurance policies have exclusions for “ringers”.

When I worked at a dealer group a few years back, one of my responsibilities was buying insurance for hole-in-one cars, and we actually had someone win a car at one of these tournaments. The prize was an A3 cabriolet, though the insurer allowed the winner to use the insured value toward an Q5 and he paid the remainder…

No. The port is behind the rings, and they move out of the way to expose it.

I live in an interesting area. New vehicle wise I’ve been noticing a lot of Rivian R1Ts and R1Ss, along with the occasional Rivian Amazon delivery truck lately. Teslas are so common that they don’t register with me anymore. Contrast that the fact that the only new car dealer in my town is a CJDR store, I see a…

I do wonder what the 0-60 or 0-62 MPH times were for Don Garlit’s Swamp Rat 37 and 38 electric dragsters, along with Steve Huff’s first to 200 MPH in the quarter mile electric dragster. I would imagine the numbers would be close, but those are not metrics included on drag racing time slips.

In this case sure, but in general it all depends on the size of the aperture and the actual mechanism. With a small enough hole, the air could leak out over a longer period of time. There were well-founded rumors a few years back that more than one Formula One team was experimenting with drilling microscopic holes…

And the slideshow presentation is particularly galling. This could have been a couple paragraph synopsis of what we all knew coming into the conversation, but no. Gotta get those clicks.
