Exactly - the feature should have been about what companies offer the best selection of colors, not just one interesting color. 

This is standard technique for lion’s mane mushrooms, which have a lot of moisture and are hard to brown for that reason. 

Exactly! People think that the word “premium” means it’s somehow better. Probably chosen to get car owners who need it to agree to pay more for it. I can’t believe this debate is still going on. It’s like asking if wearing a more expensive watch will help keep me on time for appointments. You either need a different…

At 200k the engine is finally broken in and will run nicely. If it weren’t a Miata the price might be high, but these days, especially with the hard top, it’s about right.

Maybe a naive question - what if there’s no wind?

I love cars, but if you think public transit limits your options, wait till our coastal cities are under water, we’re plagued with droughts alternating with blizzards, and our sea life has been depleted. Walking a few extra blocks won’t seem like such a burden.

If the pictures don’t convey anything, the reverse is true. 10 seconds of a Camry rolling along the road accompanied by a sentence I could have read in 2 seconds is a waste of time. If the video uses images for a purpose - a cutaway of how the drive train works, e.g. - then that would be different. But a sped up view…

They’ll deliver the others as soon as they find four more customers.

Sounds erotic. Ddid you mean “have it in for Tesla?”

If a car injected fragrance into the cabin automatically I would pull over and set fire to it.

Yes. I have a Trabant Matchbox-type toy on my desk at work. It’s made of metal, and is therefore better built than the full-size car it represents.

I feel for you, but safety regulations say a car has to support 4 times its weight when placed on its roof to get a top rating. That’s the reason you can’t see out your window.

This. GPS, maps, payment by phone, all of that existed. Uber’s “tech” innovation was, “Hey, let’s be taxi dispatchers for amateur drivers.” That’s a far cry from self-driving car tech.

I hope your conclusion was, “She didn’t turn. The guy who set up the ramps was an idiot.”

Siping offers no noticeable gains? Tell that to Les Schwab’s accountant.

Yow. So did I, with the valve cover on my Miata. Turns out 60 foot pounds is a bit much compared to 60 inch-pounds. Broke 2 bolts before I figured out that I was the problem.

I’m allergic, so all bees are little flying syringes of cyanide to me. But killer bees are especially scary.

I know what you mean. I’ve got a 1991, and I’m happy if I get 28. The engine is made to rev high, and to have fun, you really need to keep the revs up. That might be part of it.

A spelling mistake is not the same as a typo.

Thank you for writing “coincidentally bound for repairs” and not “ironically bound for repairs.”
