Some say his Secret Service detail was recruited from NASCAR.

Here’s my big question about those seats, what about them makes them more attractive to people who don’t have wheelchairs, crutches, or might be pregnant? I can understand if someone takes up more space due to a disability, but what else is better about those seats than the added space around it and ability to raise…

If serious physical discomfort is caused by sitting in a normal train seat, then I think the odds are pretty strong that someone who sat in that seat and wasn’t disabled would be able to see signs of that if they paid attention. I know that I’ve always paid close attention to that, and actually make it a point to grab…

Thanks for the response, I guess my experience really resonated with you.

And at the same time, as a nonnative person, I’ve been discriminated against on a reservation by being pulled over for “speeding 55 in a 25" which was absolute nonsense because I was extremely familiar with that stretch of road’s reputation for being a massive “white guys only” speed trap having gone to college on the…

If only someone would make an *affordable* wagon. Priced like a crossover, but built like a *wagon*.

Kia has been knocking it out of the park for a while now. The Soul looks (and sells) pretty good for its segment, the Optima’s big refresh *still* looks good today, the Stinger looks great, and the only real weak link in the mix is the Sportage.

1080p displays are *far* from obsolete, for several reasons.

Good price, but waaaaay too much bezel for a proper battlestation. Though I suppose you could do what I’ve been doing with mine for the last year or so, and get a single central display with nearly no bezel (mine’s a 24" Dell with maybe 4mm bezels on the sides) and then tuck the edges of the larger bezel monitors in…

Yeah, they look absolutely great. Out here, though, you’d need to get the Alpine model if you even considered going up over the mountains across I-80, or up the hill to Lake Tahoe. Fortunately, 99.9% of the time we only NEED to get from one part of Highway 395 to another right here in town. For $200-300, I’d probably…

They’d have to be *really* awesome for $600 a pair. Holy crap. It’s easier to stay home. :D

Mexico is stealing our manufacturing jobs because they make $3/hr and have zero safety regulations at the plants. Never mind an abysmal record on pollution. This too is about to end.

People like talking about manufacturing jobs because the numbers are so high when an individual plant is closed or downsized, and it makes them sound like a big deal if they can save one of those but ignore the hundreds of other struggling businesses that exist in other sectors.

As a recent Hyundai buyer, I have to say the controls in the Santa Fe Sport aren’t... *that* bizarre. I wish the steering wheel had four-way switches and more buttons in better places, and I wish the heated wheel and driving mode buttons were more easily visible to the driver or at least more distinctive from one…

This. As someone that lives on the Nevada side, I completely and 100% agree with this sentiment. Hell, here in the Carson Valley, we don’t need snow tires all that frequently at all. There might be a month, maaaaaaaybe two months where there’s enough crap on the pavement to make you think about snow tires but the odds…

The article talks about LA drivers, but really should be focused more on northern Californians and bay area drivers if you’re talking about Interstate 80 like you are here. I live on the Nevada side of I-80 there and have driven over that pass in snow season with chains on my car before, only once. The brand new…

He had just grabbed that from a Wayne employee, I think. It looked to me like a corporate motor pool vehicle.

My first winter car was a rear wheel drive Mazda 929S, which absolutely loved to kick itself around on snowy New England roads. Tossing fifty pounds of kitty litter in the trunk was a standard move that both helped the car stick to the road a little better by adding weight to the rear axle and gave you the ability to…

Most of his summer job savings is put aside for college.

Came for this, not at all disappointed.
