Hot Wheels were always some of the highest quality toys you could get...because they were Hot Wheels. At most they might have a plastic body, but the rest was all legit.

I’ve had this happen a lot lately - most recently with a few bottles of Sam Adams Oktoberfest which had been sitting (on their side - perhaps that is important?) in the fridge for a couple weeks (they were purchased that couple weeks before, so they were not old).

Basically any large city after a sporting event.

I don’t - I have no trees where I park.

The fact that Nascar currently uses a 2" larger wheel than F1 blows my mind.

A British vehicle not starting?

Certain all-seasons do actually do pretty well in snow, absolutely. However, for one all-season that does well, there are probably two or three that are absolutely horrific - and those seem to be what come standard on vehicles these days.

And not everybody enjoys eating assholes.

Even if you have a good AWD system, you need good tires to take full advantage.

Is the France family running W-Series now? Sure sounds like their patented method of breaking what wasn’t broken.

No, you shouldn’t.

What more do you want out of a machine?

While some of them have the expected bonkers dealer discounts asking upwards of $200,000 or more, there are a few cars advertised below MSRP.

this depreciation loss can be even more dramatic if you buy a car with a much steeper resale curve.

It’s not surprising - it was the last Taurus-based vehicle in the US Market, so they had no interest in extending the life of that platform any longer.

God dammit, when NASCAR said “We ain’t want no excitement!”, they meant it!

Man, that Mustang really wanted to get to (and run over) the people behind the wall there.

I believe that would be sketchy ‘70s Soviet Union technology, a reactor with relatively notable design flaws (specifically an instability at lower power levels and a positive void coefficient, among others), terrible instrumentation and a completely untrained staff running tests they shouldn’t have, during the night.

Ironically, the strike actually helped our vehicle get done faster.
