I stopped reading where you said not long ago Jay Z was coolest man in this world.

So you demand your friends text because your time is too damned important for them, and think that it's not ok to look at hacked nudes. I guess that makes you a rude prude.

CP as far as I'm concerned. I can wrench ok, but wholescale restoration projects that are only half-done are deeper water than I want to swim in. The other thing is, unless the parts for your restoration are really hard to get ahold of, then extra junk cars aren't precious for spare parts - they're just extra junk…

Wait one cotton pickin' second, pardner! You drive stock-cars. It's impossible that you can beat an F1 driver at anything! Just ask the internet.

Some of these ads seem...... not legit? I'm looking at you Pantera ad.

Hell cannon, or Hill cannon? I would give you a thousand stars if I could (image redacted courtesy of Kinja, goddamnit).

"although precision fire has become an almost totally absent tactic from Syria's brutal civil war."

Ohhhhhh. I thought you were talking about the SAAB nameplate from 15 years ago or so. Like my car (which you won't see, I guess, because kinja and Jezebel and rape-gifs or something, but it's a 2002 9-5 wagon):

I'm not exactly sure it's a horror movie...

Lingering stench of their nameplates?!? Lingering stench of their nameplates?!? I take a deep breath, and raise a middle finger at thee.

I'm not sure that it means SAAB autos will rest in peace so much that it means NEVS will have a harder time keeping the brand, or whatever comprises it now, and will come under more pressure to sell it.

Now that's an idea I can get behind!

VAG maybe. Volvo and Saab owned by the same parent, though? That's an innovation-killer for two manufacturers that often have nothing going for them except their innovation. I'll have to say nej to that.

I hope so. I can imagine other less desireable decisions being made: hiring less officers, not giving raises, allotting more to police department budgets at the cost of other municipal budgets, raising taxes so the police can maintain their assault-force capabilities. Once you give an organization a new toy,…

Militarization of the police makes them much more expensive, as well. The equipment takes maintenance. The operators need training and then continuing training.

Well, I won'd disagree with most of what you said, but regarding random celebratory gunfire, see: New Orleans. Just google it if you don't believe me. I lived there for years, it happened, and still happens, all the time.

I don't think the image is actually the point of it.

I wish we could continue this conversation in a non-public forum so as not to bore everyone esle, b/c you seem like a reasonable person. Sadly, that's not possible here. I would point out that when you test something at work, you aren't testing a 1.5 - 2 ton vehicle without a driver on a public road around other…

a) Dumber still to pay taxes for safety regulators, then abdicate that duty to the people with a financial interest in hiding safety problems. I guess we need to stop the FAA from examining plane black boxes because it freaks people out. We'll just trust Delta and United to do the right thing when it comes to…

Well you'd expect the reason for the disengagement, and whether it was initiated by the driver or the car, to be part of the data collected, wouldn't you? That's pretty basic.
