So one gets punished for entering a on-ramp (acceleration!) or having the temerity to stop quickly to avoid rear-ending a car that suddenly turns right without any signal?

I dont think this was suicide. If he really wanted to likely kill himself, he’d just fly on a Boeing plane once a week.

Touchscreen shifters are a fantastically stupid idea.

yeah at much lower numbers she even could have played stupid on this. 

Tale as old as time: get greedy - get caught.

It is absolutely stunning, and I’d definitely be interested, but I have a 2007 Toyota Sienna, and it has the same engine, so I imagine the performance is very much on par.

I’ve never been in a plane that was hit, but my dad (who flew a lot more than me) got hit a couple times.  He said there would be a bang and the inside of the plane smelled funny (Ozone), but the lights wouldn’t blink or anything.

Body of article: “Airliners are designed to survive lightning strikes just fine, you uneducated idiot.”

2007 Buzzfeed called and wants their lowest-possible effort listicle of shit everyone already knows back

Nobody believes that fortune cookies are Chinese food. It’s been well-known for decades that they were invented in America.

My only sleeper car criteria: Is it fast enough so we can fly away?

I was welding in Crocs once when I learned that hot metal goes right through them. Not the holes, the actual material does nothing to stop it. Never again. 

Keep a magnetic tray in the laundry room for all the parts and tools that end up in there when you are washing your wrenching clothes.

Yeah, it’d be that for me, as I’m thinking at most two beers at $7 - $9 per (going rate around here). Glasses of wine are around $12 at cheapest, so two of those and two beers would be closer to $50.

And $20 each for booze at a place that sells $30-50 entrees is really lowballing it. 

I suspect that most of the time someone is ordering the $19 burger, they’re not the one who chose the restaurant, and them ordering the burger is the price you’re paying to have the party there at all. It’s like the perfunctory vegan item at the steakhouse.

“So if you have $40 or $50 entrees and you have a $19 burger, and a third of the people get the burger, you’re losing a huge amount of money.”

5-speed 18 year old Honda Element haver - I’d agree that I’m definitely paying more attention to my driving than most of the people on the road with me - but I am not sure giving THEM manuals would be the answer. ;)

Manual cars ARE safer. My original response to the OP was removed (intentionally), but I’ll continue to disagree, that it’s a stupid myth (or a myth in general). You’re obviously lying if you think a manual car doesn’t force you to pay some kind of attention to the act of driving and your surroundings. You’re also…
