I doubt most people are going to come close to doing what you’ve demonstrated the Ridgeline is capable of. On the other hand, if you’re going to be doing anything of this nature on a semi-regular basis you’d more than likely be getting a half-ton pickup. For all intents and purposes, this test seems not to reflect a…

The Joker makes a bigger appearance in this video than in “Suicide Squad.” BAM!

I guess I’m just fed up with how the South is depicted and stereotyped. Nothing I do is going to change it but it still gets me riled up. I guess I should just let it go and focus my energy elsewhere.

Well having spent 20-something-odd years here I think I have more authority to speak on that than you. I’ve also lived in California, Texas and Arizona so I have so other experience to speak of, but I would never make blanket statements about those places just because I spent a year or two in a couple of other states.

Yeah, OK, we understand it now. Anything and everything any man does is sexist.

True. There’s only so many beacons of culture in this state, but its really lazy to make a generalization about a state of millions of people. I guess it just struck a chord with me because its my home state. There’s plenty of shit to talk about any state though.

Not really. North Carolina has its pockets of backwoods and backwards society like any state. You’d probably be more at home in the super-progressive city of Asheville. Trust me, I live and go to school there, and it gets annoying when there’s a protest every week blocking the downtown area. People snarl at you if…

The charge against the assailant is increased from simple assault to a misdemeanor. So really, its not an insult to women at all. It’s saying that if you assault a female, you deserve a harsher punishment.

Why are luxury car commercials trying so hard to be pretentious twats? Oh, I guess cause that’s the makeup of their target market.

Now that I have watched every episode of Roadkill multiple times, I have moved on to Dirt Every Day. I have not been disappointed.

I’m not sure if this was caused by the fact that it was the middle of the afternoon and/or people not knowing that DRLs don’t also illuminate the taillights, but coming up I-40E through the Blue Ridge Mountains a few weeks ago during a heavy downpour, no one seemed to have their full outfit of lights illuminated.

I’ve been putting together an all-analog entertainment system complete with VCR, dual cassette deck and a turntable. I recently went to Goodwill and bought a whole slew of classic movies on VHS, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off being one of the clutch gems I found.

But the real kicker is that, yes, these factories and plants are in the U.S. and staffed by U.S. citizens, but the parent companies are based in other countries. Most of the profits wind up back in those countries, some of it does trickle back into the communities in which the factories are located, but a true…

What do you mean? There’s virtually no automobile-based show I don’t enjoy watching. (“Fast ‘n’ Loud” being the exception.)

For me, and I’m sure a lot of other people, it’s not the content of the lyrics that is off putting. It’s just the fact that some people have a different taste in music. I don’t like a lot of synthetic, digitally-created backing tracks, nor do I like the spoken-word delivery of the lyrics. Kudos to being able to come…

I get exactly what you’re saying. I love watching MotorWeek videos, especially Retro Reviews. (If you’re not familiar, they are a Maryland-based, public cable-produced car show that’s been airing continuously for over 35 years). They are fact laden and not made to be entertaining or have superfluous content, which I…

Perception is subjective. It’s always been a car show to me, but I guess it takes a true love for all things automobile related in order to appreciate it. Trying to pick out every little flaw about what’s scripted and how well they mask it will take up so much of your time that you miss the point that the show’s true…

But when it comes across as being truly sincere and genuine and convincing, that makes it so much better. There’s been many a challenge and segment on 2002-2015 Top Gear that had me cringing at how set up and staged they were. But the truly great stuff is when you forget about it being scripted and it seems like its…

My way of enjoying hummus without dipping: Eat it with a spoon!!!!! For some, the texture and consistency might not be ideal for eating it solo, but on more than one occasion I’ve had a surplus of hummus and no chips, crackers or other dipping implements. Creative; not in the slightest. Practical; very much so.

As I read down the list, it eased my worries about doing an unpaid internship over the summer. I’m of course getting credit toward my senior competency requirements, but I also didn’t want to end up doing bitch work. I’m also not really sure you were referring to internships, but I took it as meaning “any work without…
