My drum instructor used to make me play all sorts of strange shit just to learn the beats.  From Primus to hip-hop, didn’t matter, learn the beat... next.  It really opens up your ears.

The truck was carrying either a Total Containment Vessel or an Explosives Magazine. Regardless of which one they were using, those things are rated for a certain amount of explosive power. I worked for a company that had an explosives magazine that was rated for 1kg of plastic explosives. They essentially blow stuff…

For me it was an article that appeared here and I’m still stupefied by:

“...after their mom divorced me for banging my hot, young secretary across the desk in the back of my personal luxury vehicle.”

He’s a Republican, what you’re suggesting smacks of helping those less fortunate, which thusly reeks of Socialism and is just a hair away from making him a full blown commie sympathizer... in his head anyway.

Dummies? kidelo, please... a dummy is just someone who is below average, maybe even “dull”. This is a whole higher (lower?) level of deficiency. They’re ignorant, uneducated and closed minded... that’s easily moronic or “mentally defective” behavior we’re seeing here.

Try a set with a higher wear rating. I used to put a TON of miles on my car every year... then got a new job 3 miles from home. But I had put 60k rated tires on the car. Being a cheap bastard, I just drove on them instead of tossing them before they wore out. Eventually though, I just bit the bullet and tossed them…

I did not know that was something you could do!  Wonder if you can pull the same trick with the Golf R...

Was about to say the same thing... sure, it’s the same MQB platform and looks like a Golf... but if you want to look it up on their web site, it’s not the same car in the exact same way that a Golf R isn’t a Golf or a GTI.

The plaid seats is the exact reason I only wanted the base model GTI. They’re kind of a throw back these days, but they look great AND don’t burn your ass on a hot summer day nor freeze your ass on the coldest winter days.

Nice... a cop stopped my father on his way home one time. He asked why he was stopped and the cop said it looked like his tires were worn and then asked if he had been drinking.

“Respect” from “family members”? Sounds like someone needs a car with a large trunk... Pontiac has you covered my friend!

It looks neat, but I’m enjoying my GTI... and holding out for the ID.BUZZ because that should have more of the wow factor...

I’m going to completely guess based on what I read and my personal experiences... The cop didn’t like the loud music so much, but since most noise ordinances are based on sound levels taken with a calibrated meter and most departments don’t have those things... the kind officer was just waiting for the driver to do…

Yeah, the teal is too close to the green color I’ve seen in some mortuaries and morgues.  All it’s missing is a long, stainless steel table.

surstromming shown in video above, then there’s lutefisk. I have never tried either and I have Scandinavian roots.  I’ve tried Soul Food and while I’m guessing it wasn’t the best representation of what there is on offer, just judging on the reactions I’ve seen in the videos of these strange canned fish “foods”, I’m…

Technically they didn’t lose it if it’s still in their pants...

Yeet = took flight. Doesn’t matter how it took flight, just something that isn’t supposed to be airborne, becoming airborne. Or, something that could become airborne, becoming airborne in an un-natural or unexpected way.

I’ve seen one next to a Golf, it’s slightly longer. So if you REALLY, REALLY want the wagon version, it’s that RS 6 at $109k (starting). If you just want to have a fun, fast car with a bit more usable space in the back and want the AWD, Golf R will meet your needs.  Hell, the GTI is a blast, but doesn’t have the…

Sometimes the military likes to get involved too. Years ago I worked on a long distance sailing race. The USCG and local departments were all notified well in advance of the sail plans. The year before I worked on the race, one leg in particular got NASTY and wiped out a bunch of boats. So everyone was calling for…
