The gist of the headline and article is that DIY studded tires are unsafe.

I'd like to add myself to the list of commenters who thinks you're high on drugs, Andrew. How the hell did you come up with "new bedliner tech"? Did you honestly mistake the waterjet table for a truck bed, or are you just trolling us?

Corvette Racing's yellow with black, white, or silver is well established now, and still looks as good today as it did in 2000.

She brought her car to a complete stop on the highway, and left hit there with the door wide open and no hazard lights on while she attended to the ducks 200m away.

Hmm, strange. I didn't know that. I wonder what sorts of tires come equipped on cars that are similar in each country. Things like a VW Golf, Ford Fiesta or Focus have all-season tires in North America.

I'm thinking it's a nuance in terminology, and BlurpleToyotaDishwasher is referring to all-season tires as "summer tires". Other than very high performance cars, I don't think there's many production cars sold in the U.K. or elsewhere without all-season tires as standard equipment.

If I drank 5 ml of gasoline, I'd consider that a large amount. If I drank 1L of milk, I'd consider that a large amount. So what?

FYI, the tags on the flickr page not only confirm it is JetBlue, but also says "Houston Hobby Airport", so now you have a location as well.

Judging by the letters we can see, the font used for "TACOMA" doesn't look drastically different from the current one. In it, each letter is the same width, so the centre point is between the "C" and "O".

Next there's the Mitsubishi Precis, easily one of the most beloved Japanese cars ever built. But it can't appeal to the demands of the upscale crowd the way the Ford Festiva can — not with its optional 1.3-liter engine!

Hi, Chris!

A standard North American licence plate is 12" x 6". In GIMP, I measured its width in pixels and the width from the centre of the tailgate (between the "C" and "O") to the approximate edge of the taillight. My guess is between 67.03" and 67.9" wide from light-to-light, not including fender flares or mirrors.

I was going to say the same thing. I'm glad that the first reply is yours.
