Guessing balloons staged at different heights to indicate wind speed / direction at the various heights. Probably heights related to the inflated weather balloon taking Felix up. But that's just my guess.

The report was that toward the top of the weather balloon's fully inflated height the winds were above the safe range (I think they said ~18mph).

Guessing they are balloons to indicate wind speed at the various altitudes where the weather balloon would be during inflation. Just a guess though.

Or in this case, two Wongs can't make a right?

Peel P50. No real cargo room, single seat, can't corner well, less power than the batteries in your remote.

I find they are hard, but the car tends to settle down for me when cruising at medium to highway speed and is plenty comfy. My wife and I drove backroads from ATL to the middle of nowhere Tennessee for a baby shower, then that same day over to Asheville for a weekend away thing, then back to ATL. I was afraid the…

Agreed. I had a serious "WTF!?!?!?BBQ?" reaction to how it was written on Jalopnik. Then clicked through and it was a bit clearer. The "WTF?!?!?!BBQ?" shifted to how it was written here :(.

I had a similar reaction, but the article linked to cleared some of it up. Tilden is a non-Audi repair shop if I read it correctly. She immediately parked it in front of the repair shop before leaving to demand they refund / fix the new issues. They told her to f' off. She then took it to an Audi dealer at which…

Short answer, no.

Damn, no Ranger options. Would love to get a "Power Ranger" badge to put on a friend's truck.

Full Disclosure: I work for a mobile telco.

I find it hilarious that these people think they are reducing conflict points. AT the intersection, yes, but all they are doing is moving the conflict point to another nearby location which is still close enough to have a similar negative impact it already did. They installed a DDI near where I work. The…

I like the accent, just not in overly-mirror finish of it. Though I doubt I'd like the copper to have a matte finish either. Maybe a patina'd finish :)? Yeah, THAT would be awesome!

Save for the copper, I kinda like it.

From the cultural perspective, it does make sense. Bavaria might as well be its own little country. Not terribly dissimilar to the Quebec / Canada relationship. Or the Florida / USA relationship :p

Unbelt and reach for things in the back seat.

Exterior makes me think there was a three-way between a Caliber, a GLK and an X3 (rear hatch), the interior makes me think Audi gave Lambo designers the computer for the day.

Personal experience from having been a passenger in a car doing a burnout against a wall, it really didn't matter windows up / down. The smoke found its way in through everywhere possibly, though mainly through the dash / vents. Then again, it was a shitbox old (dis)Sable so it had the build quality of a cheap…
