“American degrees.” :D  

Hey now. The race between all six cars on the track in Indy was amazing.  (sarcasm)

Dude looks like a Bond villain. 

Automatic ND due to its association with the Edison/Trump fusion science project man-child. 

True story. 

Let’s be honest with ourselves though. The 15 people with more money than sense who will buy these monstrosities aren’t going to be taking them off-road. They’re doing it for the attention and the most serious road obstacle they will ever see will be speed bumps in mall parking lots.

I upvoted it because it’s probably worth that, but man, that front end is hideous. 

I worked for a Tier 1 for a while. A large chunk of what we did was robotic welding, meaning automation. The folks who programmed and maintained the robots and PLCs (who had either two year degrees or on the job training) made more than I did as an engineer by a noticeable margin.

In all this discussion of pricing, I haven’t seen a single post about what everyone needs to know: Does stainless steel require Tru Coat? Can the dealer apply it regardless? 

Wasn’t he also “commuting” to another airport to fly a plane? It’s bad enough that he had been up for 40 hours, but also depressed and tripping. Should we maybe have sobriety checkpoints for pilots?

Something that irks me is people who don’t use turn signals. But the people who REALLY ruin my day are those who drive at or under the speed limit but can’t be bothered to signal. If you’re going to follow one law, FOLLOW THEM ALL. 

I do not understand why people insist on the dash toupees. They’re hideous and never help anything IMO.

They suspended his license for two years for that. Can you imagine what would happen in the US if laws were that harsh?

No. Not even if I was sharing Iacocca’s Coke. 

But he would also have to be the gooder good guy with a gun to achieve maximum NRA prophecy.

3/8" flex head ratchet. It’s obviously going to be a heavily used tool because ratchet, but it’s the best of all worlds. Long-ish, easy to maneuver, and does 80% of the fasteners I work on (suspension notwithstanding). 

I mean, it’s kinda cool, but.... No.
