Unless I'm seriously out of the loop, there is no double-clutch auto-manual transmission for the C7 [yet]. There's conjecture it'll come with a higher performance model and then become an option for the based model replacing the torque converter automatic that's currently there...?

I don't understand the mentality of never buying anything again on credit. Especially with regard to homes and vehicles. The average person can't swing major life purchases simply by writing a $250K check from their main checking account. Credit is useful, but it has to be carefully managed. Therefore, can I ask, what…

Not always. You can have a BLEVE when the container is in this midst of venting. You just need the material in the container to become superheated quickly enough to ignite. If you look up the mechanics of BLEVEs, you'll see this is possible.

That was a BLEVE...

The thing you have to be careful of, however, is changing your plan temporarily and the provider not allowing you to return to your same plan after the temporary period ends. This could be due to your having been on a promotional plan, or a plan that is no longer offered. I did this in August because I moved and was…

So, do the cables inside the fake wall have to meet the same in-wall UL requirements that cables inside a real wall would have to meet?

If I may offer two pieces of advice particular to getting rid of stuff you don't want to take with you - painter's tape. Especially if you have a garage door. I can't tell you how many people commented on this. They thought it was a great idea. Also, GET A PAYPAL OR SQUARE CARD READER. We did several hundred dollars…

Agreed. I moved at the beginning of August from California high desert to Maryland. Now, that's cross country. ;) We moved ourselves - Ram 2500 stuffed to the gills and a 6x12 UHaul trailer. Surprisingly, worked out fairly well with almost no drama.

Man, it seems like most of the folks commenting must work in some really dreary places. In my office at the moment I've got a pile of awards and challenge coins, patches, a big wall calendar, my Masters diploma, a bunch of plaques from my previous teams...and that's after I took down all my pictures of stuff I've…

I guess I don't understand why donating a piece of protective equipment to charity, even one with a cool design, will bring tears to folks eyes? Or is that a local euphemism? I mean, racers and athletes do stuff like this all the time.

There are plenty of decent schools in the US that don't cost $30,000 per year. Just FYI. Not going to college because you don't think you can afford it is, in this day and age, a dead end road. Look into grant programs in addition to loans - there are still many out there. Essay contests, public speaking, etc. …

Oh, pick me, I know! NEVER co-sign a loan. EVER. Not for anyone. Ask me how I know. The only reason why I'm NOT still in financial trouble from doing so is that the person I cosigned for wrecked her car and GAP paid it off (this was after she was basically 30+ days late for over a year on payments).

Wow...And the second angle, even more wow. They're lucky no one was killed or maimed. I can just hear the call to the insurance company..."Nope, wasn't doing any kind of performance or track testing, nope." Ouch!

Ditto. I don't pay for text messaging (I use Google Voice) and so everytime I need a password it costs $0.10. I live with it though for security's sake, and truth be told, I don't need it all that often as I don't often log on from new devices. But I would much rather use Google Authenticator or a similar app for…

I test drove the previous generation Cayman R and the new generation Boxster, both with the PDK, and, wow, it's just a fantastic gearbox. Everyone talks to me about "oh, oh, manual, driver involvement, blah blah..." Personally, I don't get it. I don't find the PDK to be any less engaging than the manual on my…

I think e-mail was already pretty ubiquitous 20 years ago. No, we hadn't (and still haven't) reached the paperless office, but that was the heyday of America Online, Compuserve, etc.

Go back to bed, Scrooge!

he was wearing a military-esque jumpsuit, body armor, using weapons his mom purchased, killed her then people at her school...you're absolutely right, it doesn't sound like he planned that at all. Give me a break...

I still have never actually used Instagram. I think being in my 30s and an Android user when it was popularized are the major causes. Nice video though. I always find CH amusing.

C63. It's called torque, people. Accept no substitutes.
