Haha, thats funny.  We have some of the highest gas taxes, no weather damage to our roads, and they are still garbage.  CA just siphons the tax money off to other pet projects while dragging out major infrastructure to help their buddies profit off of state funded projects.

I’ve always been of the mindset that German cars have poor reliability because their owners can’t afford to maintain them properly.  I would assume Italians have a similar issue from lack of miles.  The people I’ve known to drive their exotics seem to have far less issues than those who don’t.

The STS-V always seemed pretty awesome but having never even seen one its hard to know if they live up to the hype.

3 computers later I’ve clearly lost the file but there was a fairly awesome set of rally videos from the early 2000s.  The scene that always summed up how awesome rallying was included a subi barreling towards an uphill hairpin.  As it completes the 180, you can clearly see that the drivers rear wheel has been…

Assuming its from the group policing the 5 its KOST (coast) which is basically a terrible mix of everything over the last 40 years.

On the famously gridlocked 405 Freeway near the Getty Center, average speeds were found to be up by nearly 7 mph since the stay-at-home orders.

Had an ‘06 that was pretty awesome.  Not fast but fun to drive.  Could fit anything in it and probably would have driven it longer if someone hadn’t run a stop sign and smashed into it.

The only staples I don’t buy from Aldi are the ones I end up being able to use from a warehouse store. Onions, potatoes and such are cheaper to buy in bulk if you can get through them before they go bad.

NNNOOOOOOOoooooooooo!!!

Filed to Real Estate? Don’t we have a Houselopnik category?

There is a reason they only made one...

I swear I’m missing something with chocolate cream pie (and others) but every time I make it or it gets served to me I just think its bland. I’ll have to go find a good one.

Did some napkin math for my company and its about $1B to send people home for 2 weeks with pay. That doesn’t include any hit from simply not delivering products.

Not that coughing into the elbow isn’t much better than coughing into the air but especially with something like coronavirus it can live on clothing for an extended period of time. A better practice is coughing into a tissue if possible and then disposing of it correctly.

Forgot about catering.  Our corp just cancelled all their major get togethers so all the catering would have been cancelled as well.

Which class does a flying telephone box fall under?

Love this thing but I’m more in “solidly depreciated” Audi territory than new Audi territory.

Aside from the above (and being even more restrictive on travel) my company has also decided that all visitors need to answer a pre-screening before coming to any location.  Basically asking visitors all the CDC questions up front to ensure we don’t have some moron heading our way.

I was getting pretty frustrated at the lack of Free-valve mentioning until I noticed the largest section dedicated to it. Thanks for this as it has to be one of the best inventions to come to a “production” engine. Can’t wait to see it filter down to Big OEMs.
