The “Windows Photo Viewer” was sort of gone in Windows 10 later on too. It defaulted to “Photos” and if I recall I had to tweak some registry  keys to get the good photo browser back.

Thank god they decided to leave the Start button in. I think that removing the start button for Windows 8 was the biggest mistake Microsoft ever made, next to deciding Windows ME was ready for primetime.

Ralph’s a nice dude who probably didn’t deserve that. He wasn’t the lead designer of the 06 Charger anyway, but instead was the lead designer of the 300 at the time. He didn’t have much say in the initial design of the Charger.

Naw, Corvette guys will defend any Corvette to the death. What you need to do is buy a Corvette then drive it in the rain or something, and forget to clean it. Then go to the show with dirt and maybe a couple of bird turds on it. They’ll go ballistic.

You’d actually be surprised. I was a part of a huge Triumph community from back in the day (been riding Hinckley Triumphs since 1996) and I’ve had to listen to a lot of idiots try to tell me about my bikes. The Harley guys are the worst, particularly the old ones.

The folks who called it a Buell were aiming to piss you off. If they knew who Buell was they would know a Triumph.

Had to get rid of the CJ7. Mom got in, put the seatbelt on and the whole rail it was attached to came off in her hand.

I like your friend.

I’d prefer to read Gilles’ account of the weird psychopath who left him a voicemail that one time

My neighbor says she never gets bored of her Land Rover since she gets to drive a different loaner every few weeks.

My 87 Topaz. Bumper sticker as follows:

An old, old “car rating” website had a “top 10 Bad” page... managed to find an old screenshot from it. These were the top 4 on that page. (The rating system was a bit reversed... the worse a car was, the higher the rating)

I’m always astounded that real people spend their own money on Mitsubishis.

Back in High School some of my friends and I used to play a game called PT Loser, which involved us taking pictures of the most hideously modified PT Cruisers we could find and then roast the shit out of them in a group text. It all went well until that fateful day where I ended the game in glorious fashion with this…

I own a British car and an Italian motorcycle.

Mine is a roast fail;

For all you folks who want to malign Jaguars and Land Rovers, shame on you. You philistines. You just can’t appreciate the beauty of these vehicles’ classically-influenced designs and old-school appointments.

If you ever see someone standing beside their Ferrari, casually say “Awesome Corvette! What year is it?”

3db is definitely half “power”, but power isn’t linear when it comes to human ears and volume perception is the different.

Also, if you were to mount anything on the wall into the studs—pictures, TVs, shelves, etc.—would that not defeat the purpose of these screws? Here’s the background for my question.
