But is the road traffic so light that they don’t notice a Jeep bearing down on the gate without slowing?

Trump has a good heart

I know, right? When I asked a couple of contractors about replacing my old cordless DeWalt driver, I was surprise that they dismissed the products out of hand.

I’d tentatively tie this phenomenon to the much shorter life cycle of C-level execs nowadays. Cutting costs or moving manufacturing is a quick way to increase…

Craftsman is not what it used to be, and certainly no longer deserves the respect it once commanded. Many of their tools carry a one-year warranty only; even those with longer are often made cheaper and more poorly.

Craftsman and Sears are no longer directly connected. My Craftsman beam-type torque wrench disintegrated…

I saw something like this happen! I was at the front of my lane one evening. Driver ran a red light at high speed; his car was bottomed out. Struck some poor car that was turning left, careened into a gas station. (This needs italics but I’m tired and can’t find it on my phone.) So just italicize it mentally. Careened…

Half the planet trying to lighten their skin, and the other half trying to tan, inevitably reminds me of Seuss’ Sneetches. The only winner is whomever owns the machine.

Just an idea for keeping it all in the family: I have one of those Amazon one-button gadgets for purchasing my favorite whatever. It’s on WiFi and easily pocketable; the specs and schematics are already online.

Maybe set it up as the button for this RPi project? All I need now is an astonishing amount of free time.

Candles reach over 1000 degrees C in a small part of the flame.

The ignition temperature of diamond, for example, is lower than that. A slow-burning candle will destroy every valuable inside while also freshening up the room and setting a romantic mood.

This is not a good idea.

How is Dodge on that price comparison? I thought they stopped selling their Grand Caravan* at least two years ago, and only the Town and Country soldiered on with a Chrysler badge.

*Town and Country, which the Pacifica replaces.

Somewhere in Uzbekistan, a shepherd picks his way carefully across a slope in the wan sunlight of an early morning. Squinting into the distance, he feels a familiar tugging.

Notice that there was no sequel?

It does seem to be the driver’s negligence at least partially. In the earlier Jalopnik post on the incident, a commenter pointed out that the tag axle was up despite the truck’s load. And someone claimed to have passed the truck earlier and that it was idling on the shoulder with some obvious mechanical trouble.

Driver…

Yeah, no.

I watched this three times over. Mr. Brake Check was in left lane at passing speed, overtaking car on right with another vehicle merging into the right lane. Guy was there for good reason and at reasonable speed.

Mr. Dick Smallish behind him wanted moar speedz, and communicated this urgent need by closing to a…

An ‘05 or 06 GTO.

In high school I thought a straight pipe exhaust meant an exhaust with no bends.

Ridiculous. I was nodding along, mentally ticking off little check boxes.

I’ve got a TruCoat story, and it’s super quick. I leased a minivan through a broker but delivered by a local dealership.

Let’s see if we can star this up to 666.

You missed the awning over the windshield. It looks like KITT had a monobrow.

I wonder how he ...stole her urine...does she not flush?
