In case any of these airline bigwigs read the comments: I *could* afford to fly supersonic, but I find cheaper airfare more compelling, even if that means going *slower*. If I could save $1000 on a round trip flight to Tokyo by doubling the time in transit I totally would.

Here in Tampa only a few days ago a suicidal young guy simply sat down during a lull in traffic on a busy boulevard.

Rockwell Automation’s retro-encabulator similarly prevents side-fumbling, a detail you’re undoubtedly already familiar with.

I’ve got an Escort MAX360 and when it alerts and nobody’s on my bumper I stomp on the brakes and let ABS run the show. Between that and Waze I’ve gone more than a decade now without a ticket.

Your illuminating reply is literally the 1st time I’ve ever heard of a bad cop being forced to pay literal $$$ for their crimes.

Excellent use of the Red Herring gambit for disingenuous arguments. Erin didn’t say Communism or Socialism would’ve been better, that’s your fevered imagination.

While I thoroughly love For All Mankind and their desire to be accurate in depicting accurate science and space technologies from bygone eras, I did find myself fully doubting Space Shuttles orbiting the moon in season 2.

Happily, the ‘99 Legacy was wired for the tach, all I had to do was swap the speedo over so my odometer would remain low miles unlike the high miles one I pulled in the junkyard. That Sentra cluster is indeed sad.

The blank abyss where a tachometer in my minty fresh ‘99 Subaru Brighton should’ve resided finally scratched my OCD one time too many. A trip to LKQ yielded more than a few goodies including a tach. Installation was a snap. Here’s the sadness that Subaru expected us to endure:

I sold a set of 70% tread 275/70-15 General Grabber All Terrain raised white letter tires that had been on our truck after hitting a goldarned enormous ball peen hammer in the road and ruining the alignment on a long trip. They were howling by the time we could get it to an alignment shop.

I sold them on Faceballs…

Every Palm device I owned from the initial Pilot to the Treo 755p was great. The Palm Pre and its webOS however was hot garbage and an insult to the Palm loyalists.

I’d drive a late model Dart. Anything’s better than a SUV, big truck or bloated CUV.

This article has EVERY point: Russia wants to be a player on the world stage but all they have are laughable mock ups. And trolls. Hundreds of thousands of internet trolls.

I’m in awe at this display of interstellar joke trajectories. Who knew?

We currently own & love our Abarth, and the 500e I heard offers many of the same characteristics of amazing handling with an even lower center of gravity. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

A lot of limits in polite society might be perceived as arbitrary yet are necessary:
* Age at which you can have consensual sex
* Nationwide speed limits
* Blood alcohol content and DUI
* Age at which you can get married
* Age at which you can go die in a war
* Age at which you can smoke or drink
* Movie ratings
* Gun caliber…

My ass walks past the flashy chrome & billet restorations with a quickness to goggle at the Pacers, Gremlins, Mavericks, Corvairs, Marlins and etc. at shows. I’ll even stop and look at a Pinto if it’s nice enough, especially the wagons with the round bubble window. 

While I mostly agree with you, I also imagine you use pomade, love your rockabilly and enjoy the occasional Lucky Strike when your wife’s not looking.

To each his own. At the end of the day, they’re all just cars with slightly different shapes. Now stop posting about them and go restore one!

When the Boomers die, so will interest in the so-called “Tri-5", the ‘55-57 Bel Airs. I won’t miss them.

Also, don’t pick on the 3rd gen Corvette, all of them are cool, from the early chrome bumper cars to the boulevard cruisers.
