All I know is it confused both my adult daughters and that has provided endless amusement on my part. :-)

The bike helmet thing is funny. I ride 10,000 miles a year race probably 15-20 days a year have broken my clavicle 4x my shoulder once racing. Of course The one time I hit my head and broke my helmet was on an easy commute to work, sunny beautiful day, and lost the front wheel because someone was watering plants on…

1) Im so conditioned to seatbelts that driving without one on feels like Im running through a crowded mall, entirely populated with bullies from my old school, totally naked.

I’m thinking the mandate that airbags have to adequately protect un-belted occupants is kinda ridiculous at this point. Before we had variable deployment technology, air bags hurt a lot of people because of the extra deployment force needed to keep an un-belted person from launching through the windshield.

What (and I cannot stress this enough) the fuck is up with these new ads that FOLLOW YOU AS YOU SCROLL?!?

I’m guessing the Driving School is for general managers to have an excuse go out to drive fast cars, then eat & drink on the dealership dime.  Techs get to learn those in-vehicle driving and handling skills in customer cars.

Payday loans don’t actually let poor people dig themselves out of any kind of financial holes. All payday loans do is make the hole bigger. They serve no legitimate purpose.

Not necessarily.  Dealers are not above just keeping one for themselves.

I noticed he thanked the Canadian Royal Airforce. It’s actually the Royal Canadian Airforce.

Ive driven the trans Labrador highway. Endless forests is an understatement

Two reasons:

What makes you think that isn’t possible?

My ‘92 F150 runs a slow, torquey 4.9l straight six. Just about 200k miles and still smooth and reliable.

Stupid. The budgets on these monstrosities is enormous, more than enough to integrate an effective hybrid powertrain that would REALLY produce a ton of low end torque.

But these are strictly profit printing exercises, bought by both conservative and Conservative (but not ecologically conservative) buyers.

PHEVs could…

This exactly. Fleets and heavy operators are figuring out that diesels high initial costs, higher costs in maintenance and higher downtimes for maintenance aren’t worth the gains in economy.  A dead reliable, low maintenance and cheaper gasoline engine is the economic choice in the long run.  

Pretty weak article when you think about it, but you made it all worth it with that comment.

This shit is what happens when people are too engrossed in their phones than their children.
