Some are good. Some are bad. This is bad. Very bad. It looks like it should be painted black and have a screaming chicken on the hood. Hold on... I’ll be right back...

I replaced the rear shocks on my Fiesta. Spent about 2 hours trying to break a stubborn nut.  Then, after purchasing a whole breaker bar set to no avail, I realized that the nut was actually welded to the suspension and I just had to loosen the bolt from the other side...

Her husband got a similarly shitty loan, so what’s his excuse?

Calling fake news on that story about Ralph Gilles and the 300 concept. Either entirely made up for this comment or just cut and pasted from Ralph Gilles’ efforts to embellish the development of the 300, but either way the story doesn’t hold up.  

Not True. The 2024 is built at a GM plant in Korea on a GM global architecture. This might have been true of the last gen, but not the most recent, which still starts at $23k and is a solid car.

The years in question?  Ages 16-20 while still living at home?  Splitting rent and living with roommates 20 years ago?  It’s easy to save money when you don’t have bills to pay...

I had a rude awakening re: credit cards recently. I got an offer in the mail for a Citibank Platinum Preferred blah blah blah card. It’s VARIABLE APR was 21%. And I have good credit. The current inflation driven interest rate climate for credit cards is already at usury levels across the board. In the last decade, the…

I have a snout home. A quad level nightmare not for its layout, but because of its suboptimal lot placement and lack of proper grading that have led us down a never ending spiral of water issues.

God is punishing the trains for going both ways...

I don’t think they are illegal. Just not required in the states, and therefore cut out of NA market cars to save cost. I could be wrong though. I think auto headlamp leveling is also becoming a thing.

Ford still, has this feature on a lot of their vehicles. A screen sleep button that turns off the screen.

Aww that was the last car they made with normal looking wheel arches and not whatever TF this is...

I mean, they made him like a child. Lacking most vestiges of common sense or knowledge. He’s selfish and likes things that make him feel good or powerful. The common sense approach to his situation would be to tell those he came across that his Knight had died but that he was going to use the armor to complete their…

I always thought the world of Fallout was basically the nuclear age envisioned by science-fiction comics of the 1950s. Where by the year 2000 everything was running on nuclear fuel and robots were everywhere but simple things like phones, toasters, and TV’s used pretty much the same technology of the day, with maybe a…

Of course the F-1 is fantastic.  But the company that produced it is completely separate from the one that produced the 12C onward.  I was shooting for the later.  The former still qualifies, although the all time greatest supercar they built was the only car they ever produced.

Agreed on this episode having two big video game beats. The clear of the Super Duper Mart and the Vault Exploration/Discovery scenes. It’s amazing to me how well they have nailed the look and feel of these things to the things you do in the games. At least FO3 and onward. It is uncanny and bizarrely thrilling to…

...crash course on who gets to eat who out in the Wasteland.

Masterstroke of dialogue here, (and I’m paraphrasing)

McLaren Automotive. They’ve produced a fairly large number of very competant and often times stunning supercars over the past 24 years. None of them are even remotely “bad” in any way. The Senna may not be my cup of tea stylistically, but it’s still an amazing car.
