Let us not forget the most famous Staplerfahrer, Klaus!

This all sounds reminiscent of IBM’s move into personal computers back in the 1980s. Staid old IBM decided that they would throw off the chains of their old development model, one that was predicated on not-invented-here avoidance. That model had served them well during the mainframe years, but someone decided that it

996.2 C2 owner. Any powertrain engineer can tell you the benefits of water cooling. No comparison. M96's best feature that no one talks about: VarioCam. Fantastic flexibility across the rev range. Value: (i.e., I’m pretty cheap) 996, provided you find one that was meticulously maintained, as I did a few years ago. I’m

No need to put dead animals (pets or otherwise) in other people’s trash here in my city. Just call the city’s dead animal pick up phone number, put said animal in a trash bag, set by the curb, and it’s gone within a couple of hours. Dead animal in the street? Call & it’s gone. On a state owned street? Call MODOT’s

It’s not so much hiding the stuff, as much as having somewhere to put it. Guys I worked with had expensive tools they didn’t want sliding around the back in the elements, so they’d put it in the cab. The guys with regular cabs then couldn’t take anybody with them.

I worked in warehousing for many years (as an admin, not a driver). The ballet the drivers can get going was pretty impressive. For example one day I look out my window and watch three guys loading a trailer - two running clamp trucks dropping stacks on top of a stack of pallets, while the third guy is grabbing the

Nothing, nothing, nothing is an acceptable alternative to a single cab. If your truck using goal is the least amount of flexibility possible with the lowest amount of leg room, a single cab stands alone. There’s a reason that a single cab resides at the top of every retro-contrarians nonsensical wish list!! Everyone

The whole thing boils down to “don’t be an asshole” and everyone gets along just fine.

Each Chevrolet Bolt that Cruise operates costs $150,000 to $200,000

Just be honest and have it go

They unveiled it at the Peterson Museum in L.A. I would hope that is a sign of something?

Hey -- you tend to end up in a stable condition if you’re not horsin’ around.

Will people still be excited enough about a seven-year-old design?”

I beg to differ if your sights are set on a convertible and don’t want a Mustang or Camaro. This is an impeccable looking car and pretty reasonable mileage at 83k for the age. Compare against other convertibles of this vintage and condition, and it’s maybe a tad higher than some, but not egregious IMO.

Reminded of the time I was at an onsen in northern Japan. I stepped off an elevator and sitting there on the floor was a perfectly formed turd, pretty as you please. I sort of did that swivel-headed thing when you walk around the offending obstruction while never taking your eyes off it, got a beer from the vending

Can’t poop on airplane floors, can’t poop in the display toilets at Home Depot, smh, I’ve had it with these “rules.”

Damn, how much hearsepower does that thing make 

Just get the minivan. Wait, this isn’t “What car should I buy?” Carry on.

They were also used as ambulances and, by one team, a support vehicle for busting ghosts. You could be die in a Meteor, be buried out of a Meteor and be imprisoned in a containment unit from a Meteor. They really had end-of-life transport needs covered. 

People are dying to have a ride in one.
