She doesn’t just drive better, she drives faster.

And a name. “Stormy” is my babies name. Infiniti Q50 Sport Hybrid in charcoal. A hybrid that sometimes doesn’t know who it wants to be. 

How many of you feel like your car drives happier when it's clean?

Davey was my best and only friend from k-6th grade and really gave credence to the final words in the movie Stand By Me, “I never had any friends later on like I had when I was 12.” Rather, I am 43 now and I still have never found a friend quite like him later in life. Sadly I will never get to tell him face to face…

The good ole “i’m Not going alone and unnoticed’

As an aviation buff and someone who takes a slightly obsessive hobby in aircraft and train crash investigations, this whole series of events have been frustrating from the start.

Yeah, really. I’m maybe a month or two out from being completely paid off, not owing anybody anything, and it took me nearly twenty years. Some of that time was bad decisions on my part, but by and large it was just figuring out how to get out from under using the resources that I had and a hell of a lot of luck.…

I’m going to make whoever inherits my stuff pretty happy. I have no kids, and I’m probably going to put one of my friend’s kids in as the inheritor of my estate. She’s going to be shocked. It’s not a ton of money, but it’s enough to buy a very nice house in NW Ohio/SE Mich, and a couple of nice cars too.

I’m sure declining sales have nothing to do with the $37,000 average car price.

Mahk was right

Point 1 is incredibly important (to me at least).

I’m not an engineer, which is why I’m asking this question. But at what point does it become more economical to slap on two more cylinders rather than boosting the fuck out of these engines? It would seem that cranking these types of numbers out of such a small displacement would require massive amounts of fuel and…

Given the insane age of the universe as a whole, I think it’s incredibly arrogant for any human to think both A) that we are alone in the universe, and B) that species haven’t evolved on other worlds millions of years before we did, thus giving them the time necessary to reach these levels of technology. Humans are…

Stealth is a concept to avoid predation. There’s no need for stealth if you’re unable to be challenged. Superman never needs to hide anywhere. If you caught him in your house, you couldn’t make him leave and he could do whatever he wanted. The logic might be similar here. The best we could do is die if we started a…

I agree, although we’ve got a history of keeping super high tech stuff like stealth bombers secret for 25+ years before deploying them. So, I think there’s a chance that very advanced military tech could be at play. I’m sure we’ve got a lot of tricks up our sleeves for the ruskies or Chinese.

These aren’t mutually exclusive, you judgmental ass. And i was trying to generate a bit of dark humor, but since that was obviously lost on you, let’s examine, shall we?

Didn't work. Still remember the last 20 years of Will Smith's career.

I’d add the ability to go over one of our local potholes without losing a filling, myself.

It's like there's another, smaller car hiding inside of it

This is one of those cases where no one actually believes it’s a threat, but everyone involved mumbles something along the lines of “better safe than sorry”, and claims it can be construed as a threat. Then they make a big deal about how they “had no choice” but to pretend this thing they knew wasn’t a threat was a…
