I used to work at a “upscale budget used dealer”. here’s a scenario that played out daily back in the late 00's when gas got spendy for a while.

Let’s be honest here, TV’s been on a downward slope since 2007. Entirely due to their own hubris thanks to ignoring streaming. What networks like Discovery Inc. and Turner Broadcasting are doing is filling timeslots with the cheapest shit possible to produce, running more ads on it than they’ve ever done in history…

Shoot, I want to see “Connections” again. First time I saw Discovery was that show. It was awesome. This crazy Brit would start talking about some weird problem of 1300, which lead to an invention, which lead to another problem, which lead to another problem, etc. etc. etc. And after an hour of watching costumed…

“We can’t comment on future products, but our employees are free to discuss in minute technical detail their current projects on LinkedIn.” 

I took this picture on February 10, 2014. 4.5 years later we’re STILL waiting on an official release. The word of the day is ‘clusterfuck’. Can you say ‘clusterfuck’? Sure, I knew you could. 

What’s the difference between H20i and a hardware store?

I don’t know. My wife’s car before we got married was an old Buick sedan. Then she had a Kia Rio, which she liked. After we got married we sat in a Flex at a car show and she loved it despite initially hating how it looked. She loved the space and the comfort. We leased one and really liked it. But it was just too big…

We just got my daughter her first car for her 18th birthday: a yellow ‘03 Protege5. With stick.

Back in 2012, I went to a self service junkyard with my dad. On the lot was a Pontiac Aztek. I then made the comment “even in the junkyard, it’s still an eyesore.” 

Time to learn how to wrench.

The sound of Thunder:  “BOOOOOOOOOM!”

I own a Renesis-equipped and an EJ257-equipped car.  Every day is a disaster waiting to happen.

For a range extender application, where the engine can always run at maximal efficiency, I imagine it actually will be quite reliable. And servicing it will be much simpler, especially if it’s in a vertical configuration as in that drawing: unbolt the top casing, swap out the worn rotor for a new one with fresh seals,…

Ugh, this makes my heart hurt. I love high revving, small displacement engines and they’ve all but gone these days. I think the BRZ and the Miata now have the highest revving “small” displacement engines and I don’t even consider 7500RPM to be that high. You gotta clear at least 8K to give me the fizz. 

The tariffs protect pricing for domestic steel manufacturers. So, by making the Chinese steel more expensive to purchase, it allows domestic manufacturers to raise their prices.

This is the correct answer but likely not for the reasons you intended.

I think at this point the Cayman is it’s own thing. It’s a sports car where as the 911 has entered GT territory since it’s gained a good amount of weight over the years.

Ahha the matching scrotum for the cocks that drive these things. 

lol the average male IS 5'8
