Fewer things to hit results in lower collision rates. Being in Illinois I don’t disagree with the sentiment, but that has a lot to do with Chicago where backassward american (midwestern) courtesy* and big city aggressiveness and congestion meet.

* a form of driving that works in rural Nebraska in 1932 where by…

Whiners. In my day I had load games like this:

And if your timing is wrong by accident of birth year or when you started you don’t get squat out of the stock market. Those rosy predictions are for people who started investing decades ago, before the late 90s to the present bubble blowing. But with modern oscillations it takes timing.

In other media stories it stated he brought the situation to the attention of delta employees at check in and they allowed it after some debate. Logic winning over policy, issuing the boarding passes. Then other Delta employees decided differently once they were on plane. That’s the really bad part, overriding the…

I looked at the title and I thought, maybe the ex-Gawkerverse has finally grown a clue. Well nope. The article once again looks at the corporate state partnership and blames on the free market and classical liberalism, aka libertarianism. Who exactly pushes this narrative to misinform people through the media? Here’s…

I’ve been working on cars since I was 14 years old. I never take a car somewhere unless I know what is wrong exactly. I’ve had multiple cases of being treated dismissively or worse. One in particular the guy was rather nasty ‘how do you know that’s the problem’ (pinion seal leak) my answer, ‘because I crawled under…

So 11 million dollars to keep people in conflict with each other but ignoring the real problem how government preys upon people, creates dependency, and worse for the benefit of those who run it and those close to it. No we’ll just notice how these things are unevenly applied and use it as justification for greater…

Yes Trump’s an ass. But how did we end up with this guy as POTUS?

It’s an actual collection this time. The cars are kept indoors and dry in what looks like a nice leak free building. Maybe even climate controlled.

It should be 220 at your box, it’s then split into two 110s. Your AC unit probably has a 220 circuit run out to it.

Thanks to old house and old 220V window AC units I have 220 outlet in my dining room.

That dealer really wants his reward.

Anyway holding on to hasn’t proven to be stupid yet, he can get more for it now than in 2005 even at market prices.

Why does that remind me of the Mr. T classic:

When you’re a man some drivers not only don’t stop, they accelerate at you. Thankfully I’m big enough to cause thousands of dollars of body damage to a car and have thus only been hit at extremely low speed by uncaring oblivious people who drove into me after stopping. I’m 6'4" tall and standing right in front of…

“in every other boy that now, on our walk, avoided me because I had crossed a line and hit back.”

And much of that data that is not part of the mainstream judgment of a “good” economy. To use these figures is considered “conspiracy theory” and to publish them is considered “fake news”. Why?: Because they show what a lot of people are actually experiencing and that reflects badly on the economic interventions of…

Odds are you are correct that it is unethical. My guess is that the recyclers of these VWs have accounted for the value of the parts in their deals with VW. Now maybe because of the volume involved that would crash the value the used parts so perhaps they aren’t. It all comes down to what that deal says if it is…

Gun laws? Not really. It’s more of a function of how many people’s lives a political office holder’s government is affecting in a negative way both domestically and globally. Fedgov angers a lot of people around the world. And of course internal disputes within a government.

Also in Chicago... I was going to post the same. When the king comes to town they shut down major roads and to hell with what everyone else has to do.
What I see there is much better. They just want to stay together and there is a very minimal disruption of traffic flow. Also they are driving rather ordinary cars and…

Several of the cars Hitler rode in still exist and are rather valuable just for being 1930s and early 1940s MBs. Then there is the premium of being a car Hitler rode in. Burning one would be unacceptable. Example of what happened to one of them:

At this rate in another decade an exposed ankle will become risque.

Also this article probably works best with those who never owned 70s and 80s editions and don’t realize those four line drawings are about all there is.
