Little known fact, but Douglas beat Boeing to become the world’s first supersonic commercial airliner when Douglas test pilots pushed a DC-8 to Mach 1.01. Boeing commercial didn’t want to spend any calories to officially beat this record just to be second above the number.

They also pointed out he makes $122,000 per year...

There’s certainly fault here but I think what’s screwing him is that he was found guilty of extreme indifference which I don’t think is the truth here. He is certainly guilty of something but I don’t think he intended on taking out a bunch of people that day.

Mandatory minimum laws are obscene in all instances.

Holy shit, child rapists, murderers and other far more horrible people get far less time than this.  Did this guy fuck up and deserve to go to jail?  Certainly.  Does he deserve 110 years, not even close.  Total failure of the system here so far.

There can’t be that many people that have burned out bulbs.  I assume it’s people that don’t know how their car works.  Seems more likely. 

Until #vanlife happened, conversion vans (and vans in general, but especially conversion vans) had abysmal depreciation. Prices started to get goofy several years pre-’rona, and got more ridiculous since. I still didn’t think they had gotten this nuts. A quick search for comps suggests that this price isn’t as…

The ad twice refers to this thing as an “Uppfitter”.

I am old enough to remember when Darth Vader and Boba Fett were bad guys. 

Ho-lee-sheeeeeit that’s a lot of money for a 17 year old van.

Hello fellow non-native Houstonian! I sadly left town a few years ago, but my heart is still in Houston.

Great article. As someone living in Houston (but not Texas native!), it’s been interesting experiencing both “TexMex” and more traditionally “Mexican” foods. Both delicious, but there are significant differences(which I’m still learning!).   Majority of Mexican restaurants serve TexMex foods because...that’s what’s…

Pretty sure this is just the 4th Gen Tacoma with a blanked over grill. 

I have an impact rated one of these. The other one that is cool is the bendable one. That is handy for removing my rear struts without taking out the seats.

The first two movies were terrible...and I loved them both. Sounds like this one lost sight of what made the first two stupid fun. 

Sir, you are on Jalopnik, and Mr. Plow exists.

Oh, yeah. How is old Grimey?

Homer’s Enemy is my favorite episode ever. 

No, the sacrifices this time were all of his children.
