So wait... lower pressure in the rear tires REDUCES traction? Oh boy, all those professional drag racers sure must feel silly, seeing how they have been doing it wrong all these years. /sarcasm

I thought of it more as active-aggressive.

Reminded me of PJ O'Rourke on pickups.

DEATH AND DESTRUCTION AWAITS THOSE WHO DO NOT USE DIGITAL GAUGES

It's pretty clear the Saturn driver, despite the reckless initial pass, was timid. Scared about closing on the truck in the right lane, he stupidly braked to reduce speed, rather than just expedite his move into the left lane. That guy needs to be beaten with a switch.

Hey Raph, a little insight on the tow driver not wanting to tow the car to a junk yard. I'm a former AAA driver, here in New England AAA actually operates its own fleet in places, mine being one of them. The reason they don't tow cars to scrap is that AAA fancies itself an emergency service, and by its nature…

I write software and people pay me money. Even with all the docs, source code, etc... sometimes I break things in a big way. He wasn't supposed to be in those systems.

There are plenty of people who clearly don't need a large SUV other than to satisfy holes in their ego. I, on the other hand, have a foster home for physically abused infants... the kind with permanent brain damage and have no feeling or use of their hands/feet. We have one of the 8000 pound monsters, because we…

I posted a suggestion yesterday...but I'll just say it again and with more pictures - because everyone likes pictures. (I'm leaving out my Ferrari 308/328 suggestion from the link...but feel free to read it).

Last time I suggested a stock Deuce and a half and you scoffed that it wasn't practical enough. For you consideration, a crew cab deuce and a half - SO MUCH MORE PRACTICALITY. Plus, the city of brotherly love is going to have a lot more snow than ATL...

I just took a $400 Taurus as a trade-in with that steering wheel. Nice.

Create a "portal axle" spindle.

This is my girlfriend's car:

I always thought this meant "Your hovercraft is full of eels"

When I was a service advisor, for most of my customers it was this. This light would single handedly fill my morning with quick tire fills. We had to keep an air tank on the service drive just for this light. Hate it.

He's not too rich to get the shit kicked out of him.

I believe I mentioned this in a comment for the Burning BMW story last week but... Don't just yank the damn hood open if you have an engine fire. The extra O2 rushing in can cause a massive flare up and you'll get a face and upper body full of fire.

Only if V6.

The crown victoria makes it easier for everyone to spot police cars and psychopaths.
Thank you for this.
