Just to clarify what other respondents are insinuating ... specifically regarding the quality of the product ... military gear, just like civilian gear, is designed and built to a price point. Hence you get shit that breaks or simply does not work as advertised.

Ummm ... actually no. GM did not design or build the HMMWV (aka Humvee ... HUMMER is the civilian model only, the military models are ALL called Humvee). They were designed and build by AM General. That company began building and selling the civilian HUMMER in 1999, then sold the rights to GM. GM only designed/made…

On my very few instances of attempting to trade in a vehicle, I've discovered that (at least out here in Cali) the dealers will usually consult the NADA guide and not KBB. In the past (it's been a few years since I had any personal dealings in this matter), NADA provided anywhere from 25% to 50% lower trade-in…

Had a friend that had forewarning he was being laid off from an office job, so on his last day he snuck a fish into the manager's conference room and jammed it up in a cabinet that was hard to reach. It was at least a couple weeks before anyone noticed something wasn't right in Denmark (air conditioned office after…

In my mind's ear, I'm imagining "All Right Now" by Bad Company was the song of destiny.

That's just sad ... for what it's worth, "bunny" is not listed as a racial slur on that page, nor is "dumb bunny" ... bunny all by itself is and has always been an entirely innocent word, and is a very lightweight 'insult' when preceded with the word 'dumb'. The ONLY "slur" version is when you precede it with the word…

seems like your reflexes should get your foot on the brake and/or clutch pretty quickly, no?

You gotta explain what you mean by that bad clutch switch

You say the crossing guard arm came down on the back of the vehicle ... "railroad crossing guard arm came down and struck her rear window" ... for that to happen, she would have to have been past the guard arm, which places her vehicle squarely between the guard arm and the tracks (if not actually already on the…

When somebody tells you they are offended, it's not your job to decide if they are offended or not.

One thing in my experience, is that this entire positioning of certain foods as "black" food (and therefore part of a racist stereotype) was something I had never heard of until I spent some time in The South (military service in North Carolina with a lil bit of Maryland, Virgina, Georgia and Florida thrown in for…

You may have misconstrued my question about the menu ... I meant at that specific location / cafeteria in the photo ... has that specific institution offered that specific menu listing at any time other than during 'Black History Month'?

Quite frankly, based solely on the limited info in the above 'article' this game sounds more like a sim than an RPG. I don't enjoy sims and so do not play them. I won't make a decision right away on this game, but right now it does not look at all appealing to me.

I can't tell if you're being serious ... are you black and speaking from your heart, or a non-black person just reiterating what you think you understand of black culture?

Unfortunately, the douchebag dogpile is a direct result of people publicizing their personal lives. Especially when the person doing the publicization (or should that be publication?) is some kind of figure in the public eye, and he's publicizing info about someone else regardless of familial relationship. I…

How come hatchbacks are not popular in the US? I can't figure it out at all. Is it still the myth of "the smaller the car, the less safety" ?

Okay, I've just added step 3 'do a VIN check' to my mental used-car buying checklist ... now, how does one 'do a VIN check'? I've never heard of such a thing. Is that something you do at / through the DMV?

Blaming it for performing mid-pack? I daresay you misunderstood ... his car performed mid-pack because he spent his entire budget on just making it run at all, whilst his friends and comrades spent their money on "optimizing" (which I interpret as meaning 'added a multiplicity of go-fast parts') their cars. I'm kinda…

Jeebus I wish this kinja crap would let us properly edit/delete our own posts ... ignore my previous, I had not seen the "what color is this dress" bullcrap before I read this spoof.

K ... I don't get it. It's yellow and white. Are you color blind or what?
