That’s an idea I hadn’t considered. I had been bouncing between

Holy shit do not make eggs and bacon while naked. I cannot stress that enough.

It was a glorious dumpster fire. Equal parts “I’m leaving because you hurt my racist snowflake feelings” and “bye, Felicia” whiteflag.gif

That’s a lot of weight mounted pretty high up. I’d get a long wheelbase sedan/wagon and put the battery on the floor behind the front seats. Put suicide hinges on the rear doors for more pit crew space, and put a roller cart on each side so loading and unloading flow in the same direction.

For a quick swap, I’d sacrifice low weight and go with a long wheelbase 7 series or something similar, so the rear wheel arch doesn’t cut into the rear door much, and load and unload from the sides. Give it some 180 degree opening suicide door hinges, and you’ll have plenty of space to operate. Make two battery carts,…

A huge portion of the population has free time on their hands, and is already at their breaking point with stress, and they’ve decided that this is the outlet. I’m glad all that pent up energy is being channeled in a useful direction, but my hopes are not very high that it will remain focused. My advice? Take…

Our ears are not faulty; it’s a crappy speaker. Just further evidence that our police’s time and money should be more focused on communication (both equipment and training) instead of on military hardware for use against civilians.

I can’t wait to be old enough for automakers to pander to me with a recreation of one of these lovely beasts from my childhood.

I have no problem with the “fucking” part, but I am on the lookout for alternatives to “go suck a dick” that don’t lean on sexual orientation. “Suck my dick/balls/ass” are all a little better, since they rely more on a power dynamic between speaker and listener rather than insinuating anything about the act of…

I only know one Chip. He was a good friend of mine growing up, and such an awkward weirdo that he made me look like I wasn’t an awkward weirdo (I was). But still, he was completely harmless, so it’s always weird to me when the name Chip is applied to a Biff type. It just doesn’t compute.

I second Brett.  I’ve only known a couple of guys named Brett, but they were both definitely Bretts.

Actually, most of those models looked pretty good in profile.  Nissan being Nissan, though, I expect to be disappointed.

Ambitious.  I’d probably take the easy route and start with an AWD 911 because the front drive is already sorted, but yours would be lighter and more fun.

Is this a Kyle?  Sounds more like a Brett move.

The Mazda6 wagon only came with a V6 in the US, so no need to narrow it down by engine.  Just search for the manual.  I had one for nine years, fantastic car, even with the auto.

I like how the Caddy disappears behind the Fusion, only to jump back out of hiding and say “Hi!” like a goofy amped up four-year-old playing peekaboo behind the couch.

Maybe it’s 20 lbs total, and they forgot to subtract the weight of parts removed...?

I was embarrassed to see these protests in my hometown of Springfield, IL, too. Luckily, the photos seem to show fewer guns and Civil War 2nd Place flags than at the other protests. After embarrassment, I moved on to being furious, because I have five family members who work in healthcare in Springfield (three…

Fuck Hermes and Coach, mine has Snoopy on it. I’m making donut pattern ones too :)

That is awful. I hope you are able to stay safe, and I am so grateful for people like you, continuing to help us all through this chaos. About half my family works in healthcare, so I’m just in a low key state of dread all the time, wondering how many Zoom funerals I’m going to this year. Making masks helps me feel a…
