And lets be fair... Continental tires *are* garbage.

As a recent visitor to Beijing (Rings 4 and in) Near the Summer Olympics site, I can assure you of one thing; General driver ass-hattery is, in part, to blame for a staggering amount of the traffic and congestion. To the average driver, the rules are more like... guidelines. If you are in a nice car (always German,…

Hacking off the back end of a 5-Door Wagon does not a ute make.

The only head scratching experience I have had was with tires, strangely enough. I was paying a local tire shop to mount tires I bought online (Falken Azenis 615K - essentially race tires) because they didn’t have this very specific tire in their distribution network. They charged me a fair price (and pure cheddar I…

Now, at this point, you’re probably wondering the same thing I was when I discovered that Aston Martin offers unlimited mileage warranties on nine-year-old vehicles, namely: how the hell is this company not in receivership?

Eff GRRM, eff him in his stupid ass. The last two books were a clear indication that he has no idea what to do save kill everyone off and bring in new thrown claiming characters to torment and then kill them when he runs them into a corner. All of this comes with the clear benefit of GRRM foregoing the need for an…

Also, Engine swap gone horribly, horribly wrong

Racing always produces interesting failures.

I’ll just leave this here and show myself out...

As a Toffee Fan, I approve of this comment. Also.... Six Degrees of Deulofeu?! Surely, you can’t be serious!

“Barcelona included a buy-back option when they sold Deulofeu to Everton, and there’s every chance they’ll utilize it given how good he’s been.”

Cost / Quality / Time. You get to pick 2... guess which one is never picked.

Oh sure...the 5 figure cost of the driveline is not lost, but make no mistake; Labor / Shipping / Human costs often times quickly and violently eclipse the cost of the components. So... depending on how vertically integrated Tesla is (where money is just slushed around various buckets), it still amounts to a…

Its not a $2 wire anymore is it? :)

Oh ya? You should talk to some young Dutch professionals about their standard of living; Artificially low wages combined with obscene amount of taxation and a broken / under funded social security system?

Its not as shitty here or as green over there as everyone thinks....

Please. #7 Is a complete joke. Rally America is broken. The previous 2! generations of car would have walked away from the competition with the same consistency. That car would have been in a dog fight anywhere else in the world.

I’ll keep it short and sweet. Family, religion, friendship. These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business. When opportunity knocks, you don’t want to be driving to a maternity hospital or sitting in some phony-baloney church. Or synagogue

I don’t see *any* difference between her and say... any pop star since the first coming of Britney Spears

That’s a Toyota door (looks like mid-nineties as it closely resembles my celica doors). The area that was crumpled isn’t a structural member / safety component. There is a big steel bar that is your main protection...
