I’m surprised nobody has mentioned magnesium citrate liquid. For a buck to $1.50 a bottle, this will open your colon in biblical style! Drink a bottle of this stuff, then make sure you’ll be close to a toilet for at least the next 12 hours! If you are REALLY constipated, this stuff is probably your cheapest, quickest…

I only rode a school bus during the 2 years I lived in New Hartford, NY (1969-1971). This was back in the days when they allowed kids to STAND on the bus. I was a big kid, and was one of the last to be picked up on the route (living right on the border with Utica), so I ended up having to stand on the bus, holding on…

Your example is irrelevant. It might’ve been relevant if it were “4wd trucks get stuck proportionally more often than 2wd trucks in the mud do”. My comment hinged on the fact that these things fail in doing what they were designed to do, when being used in the way they were supposed to be. You need to take a class on…

Eh, all we need to do is declare Mars a “guano island”, and it’s ours!

I used to be a long-haul trucker, and yes, I’ve been down I-80 in Nebraska and Iowa many, many times. At least there was the Iowa 80 truckstop to look forward to (between Des Moines and the Quad Cities...), but aside from that, really not much. I remember when I was new to the business; the company trucks didn’t have…

Hey, I’m not a statistician, and this is not a peer-reviewed paper. All I’m saying is that, in a LARGE study over a large area, it turns out that on the 1 single thing that these devices were supposedly made to do, they actually did nothing. Essentially, this study proves that “deer whistles” are nothing more than an…

The Ohio state police did an actual scientific study on them on their cars some 30 years ago. The result: cars with deer whistles on them were actually slightly more often involved in deer accidents. If those things do anything, it seems they might actually ATTRACT deer to your car!

Unfortunately, the doe doesn’t have any bucks!!!!!

First of all, Montana (a state with few urban areas) is probably one of the last places that needs this. Also, although the law states a 20 mph max, you just KNOW that every man-boy on a crotch-rocket is gonna do this at any fucking speed he wants.

Congratulations for upgrading from the usual pieces of shit that you buy!

Torch, you and your VW minutiae have ruined me! I was watching the new movie “One Night in Miami” the other night, set in Miami, 1964 or 1965. They arrived at a motel, and parked right in front of the hotel was a VW type I, which had 2 squares of cooling slots on the lid. Knowing that before 1967, only convertibles…

Oy, gevalt! What a tempest in a teapot! FWIW, I didn’t see anything resembling “good driving” from either participant. Also, somebody doesn’t know what a “PIT maneuver” is. Had the BMW actually hit the Tesla, he would’ve essentially given himself a “PIT”, not the Tesla.

How about one of my grandmother using a racially insensitive epitaph in public? I miss those days.......

Yes, this frame was a “Mississippi Schwinn”, from the ill-fated period of about 5 years when they thought they could just move manufacturing from Illinois (where union people knew what they were doing) down to Mississippi, where a bunch of minimum-wage flunkies would cost a lot less to build the bikes. Quality control…

This bike is like an ill-advised burrito at 11:00 at night; it keeps coming back to you.....

Man, those windscreens look like they were taken off of a DC-3!

Looks like there was a lot of bad driving going on there, on both sides. Yeah, the truck driver should’ve moved over well before, but unless you’ve actually driven a 40 ton truck through LA freeway traffic, you shouldn’t judge. I have, and trust me, NOBODY wants to let an 18 wheeler merge in front of them. And the…

I can’t agree. Plastic clapping just looks cheap, and after oxidizing for a few years, it looks even worse. Add a chip or crack, and it looks even worse still. End up with one cladding panel missing, and it looks like a rolling wreck. No, plastic cladding exists only to hide body rust.

American market Dauphines almost certainly had that entire unit replaces with a sealed-beam headlight.

I’m wondering about that humongous windshield. It’s guaranteed to be expensive to replace, and since postal service garages tend to keep a lot of spares on hand they will take up a lot of storage space, too. A split windshield would be a good idea, except the wiper setup would make that impossible.
