This is my finest ever contribution to Jalopnik.

You have to allow for overlap due to head movement. Your head does not stay in the exact same place the entire drive. If it did, your point would be valid. 

Well, you know, I was talking to the prime minister of another rainy country, England, and she said that whenever there is rain on the runways, they put on rubbers and squeegee the tarmac.

I can find something wrong with nearly every movie when it comes to them trying to focus on cars. Very few every really get everything right. My five LOVES when I point out the automotive mistakes in movies so much that she usually replies with a “thank you”... or maybe it’s “shut the fuck up”... something like that.

Yeah, so... Can we have an actual thoughtful discussion about the problem, instead of more of this meaningless and repetitive crap?

I see we’re still tossing around the “79 cents to a man’s dollar” nonsense. I like the added pepper of pointing out it’s a “white man’s” dollar. It’s an efficient way of taking advantage of this wave of monetized activism while also glomming those delicious “likes” to appease the masses in the social media echo…

So much, all the time-

Awww poor thieves have to be treated tenderly!! Dude stfu! If they behaved like humans and stopped robbing hard earned possessions from innocent people they wouldn’t be caught in that position. 

Unpopular opinion incoming:

True that! I carry around a tip jar so that people can tip me for being a paying customer who contributes to them getting a fucking paycheck in the first place. #nomoreguilt #itsnotmyfaultyouronlyskillismakingcoffee

I would like to thank Kathy Lanham from Dallas, Texas for not only not screaming in reaction to the sudden and I’m sure startling trash can impact, but for cutting the video down to get to the point. 22 seconds, BOOM!, In. Out.

Hot take:

The only reason you and I are here is because of unsecured loads.

I’ve been engine braking for years. Am I perfect? No. Am I good enough that my clutch hasn’t suffered any adverse effects? Yes. Every time you start from a stop, you put a shit-ton more wear on the clutch than when you don’t quite perfectly match your downshift.

And so think about that. If you’re braking hard, you’re shifting the centre of gravity up over the front wheels, maybe even past them and so the rear will start to lift, especially one puppy-leg under cornering. You don’t want them to lift and lock up, and the only way to get them to not to is to match revs. So...…

Think about it this way: Downshifting for engine braking saves some wear on your brakes. It also increases wear on your clutch, synchronizers, and throwout bearing.

My uncle was the most careful, gentle, intellectual, Consumer Reports-reading car guy you could ever imagine. He usually drove a Buick station wagon, but his wife had a cherry Karmann Ghia and he had a Fiat Spider (in impeccable condition, naturally) for the occasional weekend jaunt.

Haha, you couldn’t be more wrong.

Just shame of sitting in coach.

Just spoon ‘em.
