WTF kind of shit is this? Is this site only rage bait now? Fine, I’ll bite. Oh, the poor moron just wants to assault the flight attendant and open the door of a plane mid flight, but you might find out that daddy didn’t hug him enough and that trauma built up over the years so he gets extreme anxiety whenever he

Having been on the receiving end of this kind of thing, this is why I never buy other people random stuff that goes with their hobbies. If they have a gift list, great, but if not, they get a gift card and I am happy to receive them myself. On the one hand, I understand the idea that they seem lazy, but in lieu of a

Even with all those obnoxious active safety features. Not surprised to see the CRV so high as a model, only that it wasn’t even higher and was broken down to specify the hybrid version when most of them are not. They come in two kinds: old ones lowered onto Pep Boys finest on-sale wheels and blue tint headlights being

Neat in that OTT ‘80s way and would be fun to see at a show, but even without the price difference, I’d rather own the stock pillarless hardtop where all the windows open than lose that for gullwing doors.

While I get the idea of being against cursing in interviews and such as a stand for professionalism in a business that is meant to have global appeal of all ages, in general, anyone I’ve ever met or known about who makes a big deal about other people swearing has used that concocted outrage to try to deflect attention

Anyone who feels better about it stopping some unspecified 9mm isn’t in danger. I imagine a targeting assassin is going to use something with more power and most mass shooters seem to use rifles. I guess it could still slow or deflect a more powerful round, but so does glass and it could deflect the wrong way. To also

I love teak, but it’s an odd choice of wood for this. The natural oils that make it weather and insect resistant also make it difficult to glue. What works well is to clean it with a solvent, like acetone, and use epoxy. That’s even more work and money than a more appropriate choice of wood. No surprise some of it is

First, it’s been on sale forever. Almost any car that old would be dropping sales, but sports cars are especially prone to it as they sell a lot on novelty/fashion as well. People who can afford a toy can likely afford something a lot more expensive and the rest can’t afford a toy. What doesn’t help the Miata

As someone who has seen people I care about assaulted and die slowly (unrelated incidents), had 30 years of PTSD, nearly starved to death, and had plenty of times they assumed they were looking at death from violence and sudden medical problems, for some of us, it’s the relatively little things that are the worst.

I think I experienced this behind what I thought was an asshole in a Model Y on the highway yesterday where they seemed to hammer the brake instead of slowing at a normal rate when traffic slowed a bit. This was after last year when I encountered several Teslas that I thought were weirdly brake-checking me on a

I assume by his whining about not getting engagement that he’s a social media parasite.

Without windows, it’s a toy, and putting windows in is difficult at best (unless they’ve done a redesign recently), you’re not building one for anywhere near $11k, and it’s their lowest quality kit, so it would take a lot of work to just bring it up to British Leyland standards. One has to ask with these things:

I had a friend who got a straight-cut race box for his street car. I warned him about the noise and he basically dismissed me as being a wuss. After maybe a week with it, he had a built helical box on order.

OK, deleting my rant against the encroachment of E-disposability into simple, resilient, and long-lived machines, for an all out racing bike I can see the point of the incremental gains of e-shift and, as the whole bike is disposable and not intended for general use, it doesn’t really matter. My concern is that, like

1. Close off long street.

My guess is you don’t want to see the pics of it in the house. While not dirt cheap, there weren’t worth that much in the ‘80s and I wouldn’t be surprised if it needed a major overhaul or similar resulting in the under-funded owner putting it in the living room. The article says it was discovered in this guy’s place,

People don’t buy performance and sports cars because they’re afraid of motorcycles. Some of us just have little to no interest or use for them and/or don’t want to be associated with certain highly visible bands of riders. Just because it’s registered as a motorcycle, doesn’t mean it is one, it’s more an issue of not

It’s probably more because it makes sense for a tadpole 3-wheeler to be FWD than RWD since so much of the weight is in the front (where it should be in these kinds of vehicles) and, of course, there are two wheels to distribute traction. It’s also easier to package and keeps weight down, though the former is not as

Sales numbers are still terrible. I have no idea how they make any money at those volumes and what must be tiny profits. Previous year sales for the Mirage is about the same as the GR86 and I’m sure there are quite a lot of people in Toyota’s financial group that would gladly kill that off. This is more indicative of

Power comes with range as a bigger battery can discharge more power or the same power with lower stress. For a car with a battery that supplies the range people want, it would essentially be intentionally hobbling the car to put a smaller motor in it for little savings in cost to the OEM at the loss of range from
