Same here, I went with the APR wheels to replace them.

Hated those and also the MK7 Austin. Sold my Austins to a guy replacing the cookie cutters. Then Honda and Hyundai started to make their own versions of the Austin and it was no longer just a look you would see on a GTI, the Hyundai rim below.

Now that you pointed out how the ‘joke’ references the movie, specifically that the character shaves her head to show that she was stronger than her hair, it sort of neuters the already bad joke. If only it had been presented in a different way it could have been both funny and empowering.

I usually leave both of my phones in my pocket. On long drives (or road trips) they’re within reach just in case something (literally) explodes (emergency at work). One will connect to the other one and then come through the Bluetooth system.

My wife just got a crossover, could possibly be considered a small SUV, but it’s AWD. One of her reasons was so we would be able to make the trek to her mother’s in the event of really bad snow. Her mom won’t drive in it, lives at a higher elevation AND has a long, steep driveway. So when we get a couple of inches,…

I used to drain the TDI, put the plug back in, put in 2 quarts of cheap Wal-Mart synthetic, turn it over for like 30 seconds, drain it and only then would I change the filter and put in the new oil and it was still kinda dirty.

Drum Brakes as a 12 year old kid.

Well, maybe this one from Ford... but it’s probably not the only one, just an easy one to find.  Hence why some people were joking about it being the Everglades edition in the video above.

DC is just like NYC, there are cameras everywhere.  From the dash cams in the trucks to the doorbell cams on the houses.  The guy is on some kind of custom cruiser too so he probably takes his politics and biking quite seriously.

Look at the companion video.  Someone thrashed a brand new Bronco into some deep, brown water.  There was mud and crud on the BACK of the entire radiator and at least half way up the block.  Looks like someone watched too many press videos of the new Bronco and figured they could just go full mud buggy.

As noted by others, both the NY and CT laws outline specific reasons where you can let a truck idle for longer than 3 minutes. Like if you’re using the PTO, during periods of extreme (think super hot or cold) weather, etc.

Sure, but he’s a retiree. If this is what grandpa wants to spend his retirement doing, good on him! I sent the NYT article to a friend of mine who was also in the Marines with the tag “Retired US Marine turns to Eco-Terrorism”. Haven’t heard back from him so I’m assuming he didn’t think it was as funny as I did.

Except that this vehicle in particular has a ton of cameras all over it and probably has the driver on one of them getting out of the car and talking about it. 

It’ll die out... but that gets complicated and online comments may live online for a while so just take this as me saying racism needs to be stamped out, especially in young people who are learning it from their families.

You really, honestly think that the same clown who let his 13 year old son drive is going to be checking the date codes of tires? It’s not noted in this article, but some outlets have released the name of the child and he was the son of the passenger. So dad decided it was a great idea to let his 13 year old son drive…

They could have just used a picture of the signs from a few years ago that were hacked “ZOMBIES AHEAD!”

I remember seeing this when internet videos like this took hours to download and the video itself was more like pixelated garbage.  The audio alone was enough to make a bunch of us laugh so hard we cried.  So glad to see the video in a much more clear way. 

Nah, just a very boring, but possibly lucrative, and very lengthy, lawsuit.

Wait... this is a story about using old BART trains as rental properties and lighting them on fire so fire fighters can train putting out fires... and we use a bad photoshop of an aircraft on fire from the Hayward FD?

That would still be easy enough to follow though, if you kept at least one tire on the black part of the track you’re good to go.  That would apply to the entire track.
