I love hugs!!

Same here, 30% or more. All this passing costs on to the consumer (ie the middle class and below) is getting pretty tiresome. Forbes just published their top 400 billionaires list. The amount of money these people take from taxpayers in subsidies, while at the same time complaining about paying their fair share of…

Oddly enough, as a regular person with a regular job, I pay quite a bit of my income in taxes, percentage-wise. Somewhere to the tune of nearly 30%, between federal and state (not including sales, etc.).

The filthy rich and their spawn are not “able to learn and be a better person.” They have been taught their entire lifetime that us poors are nothing of import. We are disposable. We are trash. They think in terms like “I can kill as many people as I like by poisoning their environment and only pay a small fine,” or,…

All the cars are registered and fully road legal. Always- They follow the rules of the road like everyone else, and if a driver speeds or misbehaves he gets a ticket. This is a fairly rare event though. And how are you supposed to get a car from one stage to the next?
“The local police are notified and some don’t like…

Being a lifelong Bond fan, I welcomed the Craig version of the Canon. He found depth and true emotion in the character. I just watched “No Time to Die” and thought her character to be well played, and highly necessary. There are so many other spoilers that overshadowed the introduction of a new MI6 agent. But, this…

This may well have been staged, but not everyone who owns/drives a Lambo is a complete asshat.

This EV won’t work for me because the commute to my job is 20 miles each way and once I get there they don’t give me enough money to buy this car.

I have the Focus MK4 estate, but w/ the 7spd auto, as it’s the only transmission offered here in Taiwan. The estate does not have the CCD suspension of the hatch, instead it rides on a model specific non-adjustable suspension, tuned for carrying load in the tail. Most find the suspension in the estate to be much more…

Murica, summed up in a single photograph. Yeehaw.

The gauge should start climbing. Once it reaches 24-26 inches of vacuum, close the ball valve.

Did the Heater Core in my BMW 850. I tested for leaks when it looked like this. Car Started and ran. Of course I had a huge bubble in the core. And it took a while for the car to warm up to purge the bubble and build pressure. Minus 10 out when I had to test it with the garage door open so I did not die.

Keep in mind (unless you already know this) that the 4.2 has the lovely cam sprockets that are a press-fit, and requires the special tooling to get everything aligned properly - there’s a pin that goes in the side of the block to lock the crank, and a bar that aligns the cams - then the belt can be replaced.

Hi, Folks! Mod Motor Guy, the shop owner checking in again!

Dealership is in the wrong. Allow me to explain my shop’s insurance policy, and you will soon see....

1. General liability - this is EXACTLY as it sounds. If I am out driving your car for whatever reason, be it a test drive, a delivery, or anything general…

When did Hollywood decide that adding or subtracting a “The” was sufficient to distinguish between movies, even if they came out only a few years apart and feature overlap in casts? Anyway, I hope you all buy the debut album from my band, Beatles.

This episode of Drive to Survive is going to be LIT.

Queen Mary’s draft is 39 feet. Outside the little bathtub it sits in now, the channel is only 25' deep. It’s going to take a lot of dredging just for it to float out of there, much less be able to sink below the current waterline. Those smokestacks rise 220 feet above her keel, so that would need a lot of water.…

He should say he had Carlos Ghosn in the hatch. 

the owner of the car should claim there’s a bunch of piracy material in the trunk, authorities will find the car in less than an hour

Unfortunately, everyone else who shares the road gets to be a beta tester too, whether they want to be or not. You thought you were driving to work, but you are really providing system inputs to see if the Tesla will react properly or not. Just have to hope your test inputs don’t “crash the system” - you might not be…
