Thanks for giving me my first, genuine LOL of the Internet today.

I think your typo is actually more accurate, so good on ya'!

You're right!

One is ripping off the hard work of a bunch of engineers and designers.

The other is ripping off the hard work of a bunch of marketing people.

I leave it as an exercise to the reader to determine which I think is worse :)

You say that like it's a bad thing.

If you need to get to work, but can't afford a car? Buy a damn scooter/motorcycle.

Sorry, but I learned to never, ever take out a loan on a depreciating asset, so when I needed transport and didn't have the cash I bought a moto.

And yes, I froze my ass off in the winter. And it sucked. But at least I never became some

Mid 80's car. Spotted in the late '80s, actually.

Australia: "Alabama, with funny accents."

Sorry, "Alabama, with different accents."

I think there's a point being missed here:

Sorry, but as both a pilot and a person who can't stand stoned people, I still read that accident report as a combination of "getthereitis" mixed with deteriorating conditions.

Also the pilot happened to be a pothead.

Mind you, now that pot is quasi-legal, I am very interested in some hard science about it's effects on

Sorry, but the law of the internet requires it.

"Huh huh. You said Dong."

Now playing

I'm going to go with "seating in a seat in the sky" along with "the trip not taking so long that kids are conceived and then given birth to along the way"

I'm afraid that last VW Polo ad isn't "real"

Well, someone made it, so it's real in that sense, but it was a spec ad by an firm to get VW's business. It never aired (at least not outside of YouTube)



The station wagon was so named because it was conceived as a way for factory workers to carpool to the train station.

And we would have gotten away with it, if it wasn't for you meddling kids!

Now playing

Okay, as much fun as it is to see rally car navigators spouting gibberish while bouncing around next to the driver, imagine if the drivers could actually have a virtual, heads-up map of the road ahead, along with surface conditions instead?

As an added benefit, I can't see Google glass ever crapping its pants in terror.

I took some disaster preparedness training (NERT) from the local FD a few years back and for any industrial / chemical fire they taught a simple and literal rule of thumb:

"Stand far enough back from any industrial fire until your thumb at the end of your outstretched arm completely obscures all fire and smoke."

Gives

Given the look on the woman's face, I can't help but think the tagline for this ad was "The Ford Grenada: A perfect car to give to your soon-to-be-ex wife in the divorce settlement."

And how often on a pre-flight would you notice your landing light was out?

From the video, it doesn't look like his wasn't working (and that made me wonder what he did for the landing?)

Unintended acceleration or not, I'd sell my sole for a Tesla.

My dad taught me a valuable lesson when he told me the following:

"Never attribute to malice what could be attributed to incompetence."

Yeah they totally chose that song because they knew everything about it and wanted to piss moto riders off.
