1994, I was 17 years old. Always a big person, 6'2", probably 215lbs at the time. Me, my dad, and my uncle were driving from KC to Atlanta non-stop. Sometime around 3am in the middle of Tennessee we stop at a highway rest stop to use the facilities.
3am, rest stop, middle of nowhere TN. I’ve been up the whole time and

I used to work in an office building at the end of the runway at Barksdale. B-52s landing was always the highlight of my day.

Now I gotta go watch Big Fish.

“oversize sheets of wood” .... You mean full size sheets of plywood and drywall. No dinky ass lip is a real substitute for an 8' bed. #LongBed4Life

Video starts with the jump and cuts before the apex, teaser gif in a similar fashion. This shit is called “clickbait” and I’m not watching a half hour 13:30 of YouTube Bro’s channel to find the jump.
Jalopnik as reliable morning browsing material is fading....

My wife and I do this out of habit/consideration for the other person. Not around the house when watching TV. But if we’re out, especially at a meal, then either we’ll announce what we’re looking at or the other person will ask “what’s up on the internet?” I suppose we’re just old though (40 and not quite 40) and grew

Maybe I just haven’t spent enough time staring at an ND, but nothing about this *screams* Miata from a distance. Maybe the A-pillar/windshield surround. But, overall, this is far better than I’d’ve expected.
Now take one to Flyin’ Miatas or somewhere else to get an ungodly engine, with a very muted exhaust, and you’d

Flatbed tow truck would be moronic in London. It just wouldn’t fit many places and definitely not most parked car situations.

The “regardless of the industry they’re in” bit doesn’t work anywhere but F1. You don’t have Microsoft branded iPhones or Pepsi branded Coke. Only in the world of modern F1 is such a practice considered at all normal. This is emblematic of the insular, myopic fandom that all modern race series have built and are now

Vodafone doesn’t make cars. Or do you put your keys in all your household appliances and try to turn over the engine before you find your car in the morning?

People shop horsepower, but they buy torque.

I have 6 in my truck, only use 1st when towing, and reallllly want a 7th when I’m on the highway in a 70/75mph zone.

State taxes average ~$0.29, Federal is currently $0.184. So current is ~$0.47/gal. A $0.25 increase is more that doubling the fed tax and a 50% increase total for state avereage to ~$0.73/gal.
or going from 10 eurocents per liter to 15 eurocents per liter.

Happy Birthday!

O’Reilly is really good at assuming you know WTF you’re doing (and sussing out when you don’t.) Any other place (Autozone, etc.) I’m in full Ron Swanson “I know more than you” mode. But O’Reilly is easy and their website shows which store has your part in stock. So I’ve always gone there since I was a novice wrencher,

The article you link to seems to prefer “Man Utd” ... or you could not get touchy about a name.

That last line hasn’t aged so well.. or did it just get better?

Did you have to pay a licensing fee to Doug DeMuro for that headline?

Best greatest hits original track?
Last Dance with Mary Jane ... and then everything else.
