Claims adjuster 1: Wait a second, I don’t think a Range Rover even has a traverse de-googlator!

If you can drive the car without using a foot-mounted clutch, then the car is an automatic. There are no exceptions to this rule, except probably a bunch that you’ll tell me about in the comments.

Let’s help them edit it:

Assuming that the Fiesta ST is out of range MSRP wise, I’d likely go with the stick shift Honda Fit. You can come in well under 20K, haul amazing amounts of stuff, and it will likely run forever. I haven’t driven the newest generation though, so I’m not sure if it retains the go-cartish driving feel that I like in the…

My fourth car dream has always been a Shelby Cobra 427 S/C.

The air filter is right in the front/top of the engine compartment. 4 clips and it’s open, then just switch the new one in. If you put it in flipped around, the cover won’t go back on right, so it’s basically impossible to mess up.

This was my gateway into doing small maintenance on my own. I was quoted $90-110 (I don’t remember exactly) for air and cabin filter changes on my Honda Fit. It’s literally $20 in parts and 5 minutes of labor, even for inept me.

She took her time on a number of goal kicks and - particularly - leading up to the penalty, so my guess would be that they were referring to time wasting. That’s all I saw though. I did miss part of the first half, so there could have been something there.

Also a “Wash it out” trim on the Transit Connect that just puts rubber everywhere that there is carpet (footwells, cargo area, and the backs of the seats guards that fold out to make the cargo floor with the seats folded).

My wife is Indian. She would definitely comment on an erect donkey penis.

I’m actually considering buying a Transit Connect right now. This drivetrain would probably price me out of it, but it would be pretty close to a dream car for me: Something fun to drive to haul my dog/bikes/skis/kayaks and which can even double as a mini-camper in a pinch.

He didn’t miss the point. He understands what you layed out. In fact, that is his point with the women. Soccer is the big female sport in the US and our team members have been focused on it all their lives and have benefited from the best athletic training money can buy.

My family and I went to the Olympics when they were in Atlanta in 1996. I had just turned 13. To save money, we borrowed a family member’s motorhome and planned drive from small town Western PA and park it in a different family member’s driveway and avoid high hotel prices.

That’s a Hilux, isn’t it? If they mess things up, they’ll just yank the truck out of the water and try again. No harm, no foul.

Are you insane? You’re the first and only person I’ve come across who thinks these numbers are normal or acceptable or even possibly unrelated to working conditions for laborers under the kafala system.

You’re certainly correct that we’d expect lower cancer deaths (I think I talked about it above); alcohol...probably, but not that many people die of alcohol related deaths (save for auto accidents).

People have a certain probability of dying. For youngish men (25-34) in the US (per the CDC), the leading causes of death are unintentional injury (mostly auto accidents, but workplace accidents are in here as well), suicide, homicide, heart attacks, and cancer (in that order).

Those rates are “construction deaths”. Meaning that a worker was killed in an accident on the jobsite. They aren’t deaths of construction workers, who can die in many ways unrelated to work. The number given for “construction deaths” is about 40 (34 at 85% through the year). Very much in line with the expected deaths.

Why is it preposterous? People die at certain rates even in the countries of the world with the best labor practices. If the distribution of deaths in Qatar don’t vary from this pattern, why would we assume that it’s the particular Qatari labor practices that kill them rather than the myriad of other things that kill…

And I’m not at all chastising people for caring about the labor conditions in Qatar. While it’s much more complicated than most people might think, I find them appalling and would be extremely happy if the World Cup was taken away from Qatar.
