So what's the stat on the number of men who bring a woman with them when buying a car? My guess is it's comparable. I just bought a car two weeks ago for my daughter, and had the deal all worked out in advance via email, and then when we got to the dealership they tried to screw me over. Fortunately my wife had the…

I actually kind of liked the pseudo-fenderskirted rear back in the day; made the car look really long though in profile as I recall.

On my way home from work Friday I got behind a refrigerated bob truck that had left one of his back doors open. His dolly fell out at the light in front of me (but bounced to the curb), and I could see boxes of stuff falling around inside the truck, so I flashed my lights and honked my horn trying to get the driver's…

I know it's been 30+ years since I got my drivers license, but at the time it was the law here that when passing someone (on a two-lane road at least) to honk your horn if it was during the day, or to flash your lights on bright briefly as you started around the car if at night, to signal you were about to pass. That…

I'll just leave this here...

That bobcat go'd thwait through that Hyundai.

When you've got binders full of women you get tired of only being able to haul 3 or 4 around at a time.

Yet another argument for a manual (or at least one of these)?

Sure he didn't just rob a bank?

I can't figure out an easy way to link to the page that would also post a pic, but the "Opel Deutschland" page on Facebook posted a number of pictures of the new Insignia, including this wagon which makes me weep as I presume a Buick version won't be sold in the U.S.

And some Jeeps.

My dad did something similar to this once, except it involved him on a tractor pulling while another guy was cutting the tree, in an effort to keep the tree from hitting the house. He was successful in that regard, but not in moving fast enough/far enough away to avoid the limbs on the far side of the tree (which we…

Surely Yellowstone and Devil's Tower are on the agenda. And if you drifted into Montana you could pick up Little Bighorn.

The only thing that would make this more epic would be if the apartment had exploded as they walked away (without looking back, of course).

Buttermilk should be the answer in this instance.

I used to work for a TV station that had a tower that is listed at 578.8 meters tall. I told our engineer I'd always wanted to climb one of these, and one day I met him at the transmitter and he gave me a tour, and let me climb up maybe 30-40 feet. The tower was triangular and the ladder was on the outside up to…

When I was a kid growing up in the country, we had a pet deer. Somebody brought us this fawn, so we kept it and fed it, and it became very tame. Our school was about a mile away, and one day as I came out of the lunch room a bunch of kids ran past, saying there was a deer behind the gym and people were petting it. …

That was in jest; typically those aren't covered in the U.S., so with it being covered it looked like an over-sized version of a plastic tunnel system sold for pets like hamsters, gerbils, etc.

Associated with #5, isn't it also true that you should not remove the helmet from an injured motorcyclists, since they could have brain swelling or something (not to mention neck injuries), and yanking the helmet off could make things worse?

Kind of off topic, but did anyone else notice that humongous hamster habitat at 1:11?
