From all of us to ourselves.

I am with you until the road salt - that was a blessing. The slush and filth from the melted salt, along with rusted out brake lines etc, cause just as many accidents as would slippery conditions. Or so I think, someone unbiased should probably do a study.

RIP, JP.

What we have to remember is that the US is less and less part of the world. I will be interested to see what will happen here once energy prices start rising, but I am not looking forward to what will happen to my electricity supply once EVs have gained more widespread adoption.

This is pretty much never going to sell anywhere outside of North America, except for the occasional Dutch brothel owner.

I have met a PRV apologist and it was very disorienting.

It’s “The Gambia”. 

Coming back from Manhattan to eastern Queens in the passenger seat of my mother-in-law’s car. I do rope access on skyscrapers for my job, but nothing is as scary as that.

I thought these were worth more, but a quick glance at other auctions and sales tells me that this would be a decent buy at $5K, or $4K at the end of summer.

Because it reeks of old money, like a well-worn Brooks Brothers sweater (little did they know...)

Point taken.

The best tool for dealing with errant balloons or zeppelins is a Sopwith Camel; surely the English could’ve lent us one?

My four-door sedan weighs 1,499 pounds and has 48 metric hp...

Depends on your location, I am sure. When I was working in Greece around the turn of the millenium, several of my Greek girl friends (separate words) were coveting dudes who drove Hyundai Coupés (I think it was called the Tiburon here).

This is great, but drag racing isn’t exactly the place for keis to shine. That’s like having a parallel parking competition for mid-engined supercars.

Agree to all of those, but I cannot be bothered to learn a new interface to replace Adobe. I will, though, once I can no longer get away without a subscription.

In my brain I am trying to explain this article to someone from 1953 and it is not going well so far.

As per her own statement, she held the throttle to the mat but managed to put it in drive. Not as bad as it could’ve been, but 99.9% certainly a driver error.

Not sure how you extrapolated that from my statement...

I hear people say this all the time and it doesn’t hold water for me. It just sounds like an excuse for people doing what they want to do anyway, like billionaires building rockets and further wrecking the environment to gain the presumed insight of the “overview effect.”
