I liked Far Cry 3 quite a bit overall, but the worst thing about it to me was the "wildlife attacking you while you try to shoot dudes" angle (like sniping an outpost and getting screwed by Komodos or a Bear or whatever). I'm really hesitating on buying this one because from the reviews it sounds like they made the…

I have such a want-on for this car. It will be legal to import them very soon, but still so expensive that you would be crazy to unless you are super rich.

The biggest reason I hate that light? It causes you to fail emissions, even if it is on for a slipping transmission or some other thing that has nothing to do with emissions. On that note, emissions should be done with a tailpipe test, PERIOD. Even if you have a failed oxygen sensor or some other related piece of…

The S7 is awesome, and they should never have stopped making it. I've never been a fan of their Mustang derivatives though. Although I respect the performance, the body additions have always looked too tacky/after-markety for my taste.

$40k for a car that looks like a brand new $5-6k late 1999 Daewoo. I mean, the Leaf is $40k but at least it looks like a $15-17k modern compact.

I bought a car from a guy that I asked straight up "Does it burn or use any oil" and he said "No". It didn't smoke, no signs of leaks, no oil stains on the bumper or anything. Then I found out it was using a quart every 250 miles or so. Pissed me off, but I figured it was going to cost me more than it was worth to go…

Most ads I see on Craigslist, for example, say something like "sold as is no warranty". Does that exempt the seller? What if you actually sign a bill of sale with that wording? Where is fraud the more appropriate way to pursue?

You're in for a surprise when that one breaks. I bought a trackman marble (thumb operated model) in the mid-90s that worked great for 15 years before the left click wore out. Since then I've been through like 6-7 of them, the latest one that just broke again being the blue marble wireless one. They definitely don't…

I love how the opponents keep bringing up the manpads argument... as if A-10s are being shot out of the sky left and right so it's a national emergency that they must be retired.

I've been thinking about this a lot, especially since his behavior has changed so much lately. Has he just gone plain nuts? This isn't the way to increase Russia's standing with the world. Russia was already becoming much more important to the Western world with all of it's business and natural resource dealings with…

If you are a meek and mild-mannered person that keeps to himself, will that save you from being the target of most of the violence in there or will it make you even more of a target? I saw you said that you never initiated a challenge but also never backed down from one. I would be the type of person to always back…

Mostly I was just wondering out of curiosity. Although I suppose you could always have battle damage take out the catapults, however unlikely.

You said there is only two ways off a carrier deck. So, theoretically speaking, there isn't any plane in the carrier air wing that could take off from the carrier like they did in the 40s even if they could somehow use the entire deck for the rollout?

A turbocharged, mid-engine, AWD sports car would be something you don't see every day.

Hasn't the regular Corvette Coupe had that for a very long time?

I always try to save the receipts because I'm always paranoid that I might somehow be mistakenly accused of stealing gas and driving off without paying.

The Auris sounds like a solid practical commuter to me, and knowing Scion there will be ways to make it more fun to drive even though it will never be confused for something truly sporty. Although if they could ship us the 3.5liter V6 version that was sold in Japan...

I said there is exponential growth of the amount of people that have to be monitored for developing infection. 160 people from the plane alone were added yesterday, as well as everyone related to the healthcare workers that treated patient zero with no proper protection. If any one of those people pops up with the…

The problem here is your idea of "under control" is different than mine. In my mind, "under control" doesn't mean "spreading slowly and from known sources". My definition of under control is "stopped". No new cases of US infection, no exponentially growing list of people to monitor for new infections, no breaking of…

We *don't* have it under control. Multiple people that the CDC *knows* were exposed have broken quarantine. If you are letting people you know were exposed to the virus break quarantine you don't have it under control because *that* is how pandemics spread.
