I think it’s more symbolic than anything, but if other states were to follow suit it would be more effective. Hell, it might be requirement one day in the future. If his tax returns reveal something very unsavory I would think there would be more pressure for future candidates to show their returns for the sake of…

I had to have a tranny rebuild after hitting a small chunk of concrete (size of a pineapple). I was in 4th gear when I hit it and realized I shouldn’t shift into 5th. The debris hit the transmission housing and bent the shift shaft. Transmission fluid was leaking out the seal and I knew it was going to be over $1K…

She has prior arrests for assault and domestic violence (though never convicted), her father is a prominent criminal defense attorney; I don’t believe a word either of them say.

This cheapskate will be looking for significant discount for an iPhone 7 or 8. I bought my iPhone 5S 32GB about two years ago for $30 from AT&T; I also bought my wife’s iPhone 7 32GB 6 months ago for an effective $250 at Target. I don’t care to have the latest and greatest, I’d rather stretch my dollar a little…

When I was a kid, I would boil a few hot dogs in a small pot of water and use chopsticks around the rim to rest the buns for steaming.

The obvious right thing to do would be to leave the cars unlocked so fleeing residents in need of shelter can sit in a new clean and comfy car. Just make sure to wipe your feet before you get in, and as a courtesy, please no eating or farting in the cars.

I’d also assume that the sewer and drains backup during a flood and so you’ll have back-flow coming into your dishwasher.

This might be true in Appalachia, but I’m not sure there’s a coal-powered plant online in all of California. It’s all nat. gas, nuclear, solar, geothermal, wind, & hydro. I know there’s a few diesel-powered plants that would come online if there there was a natural gas crisis, but there’s only one coal plant in the…

Good for him. I thought he got burned badly by the 9ers.

Very impressed by this fellow. Yeah it sucks that it appears his project Tesla is ruined, but I have no doubt he can build another. I just hope he can trace where the fire started and not repeat this in the future.

I’d be curious to see how the higher efficiency translates to longevity, and if the motor will be more or less reliable than non high-compression designs. I wonder if they’ll get even more efficiency if they slap a super capacitor/hybrid system; it might be redundant given the flat low-end torque of the the engine.

Exterior - looks like Nissan borrowed lines from Lexus and Volvo/Ford.

Would such a deal be invalid in the US on the grounds that there was no meeting of the minds? Regardless, this seems like something that happened in one of the Hangover movies.

Man, why does doing the right thing have to be so damn hard. I really feel for the guy.

I just filled up my TDI last night at $2.70 per gallon (before my 5% cash back credit card). I’m good for the next 700 miles which might take me a month or two. We bought an off-lease Fiat 500e for beans and have been driving the hell out of it. We’ve already gone 12K miles in just 7 months so far. I’ll probably…

My wife are very clean when staying at hotels. We don’t eat in the room or make a mess. We typically decline turndown service and housekeeping out of security measure (we usually travel with money and valuable electronics) and just don’t find it necessary. We throw all the towels and bathmats into the tub after…

Dude’s an impressive swimmer. Could have probably been a competitive swimmer if he focused on it enough.

Perhaps they were factoring in the cost of fuel too. 300K miles at say 20mpg would be 15K gallons of 91 octane consumed. Let’s say $3/gallon and that’s $45K.

I love John Candy, I grew up watching his movies and cartoon.

I experienced the automated flushing fears my 3 year old niece’s while we took her to Disneyland. She refused to use the restroom for hours after her first encounter. My brother and I stood in the stall with her screaming until we were able to calm her down and promise her she would be okay. I just used my hand to…
