But you have to ask yourself why they have great contracts, wages and working conditions - because unions fought for them years ago and established them as the norm for all companies. If we don't have unions to raise the bar, companies will just lower it.

The Constitution didn't play a huge roll in defeating the British in the War of 1812, but it was one of the first important battleships to use iron armor giving it the nickname "old ironsides." This influence is felt even in today's modern aircraft carriers.

So. Much. Seksy.

I'm not surprised by the polling results, because really ISIS does deserve the pounding they're going to get. OTOH, there are much worse things happening in the world and we're doing SFA about them because oil.

Actually, only 40% of the population voted for the Conservatives, so in fact the majority didn't rule. But that's how our ancient FPTP system works...

I'm in the same canoe, and I fully agree. We didn't start this shitshow and I don't like being sucked into it now.

So they striked.

Awesome! I've been following her exploits in BMW ON magazine. So happy to show my kids a great role model for SPEEEEEEED!!! (safely of course)

BMW was developing a system like this a few years ago. IIRC, there was a GS fitted with a transmitter/receiver and a 5 series fitted with the same in the test phase. They would talk to each other and could see when a collision was about to happen. Clever stuff, all of the systems/sensors are there, we just need to…

Dude I have a raging boner for this thing. Holy shit!

This is porn.

The Rollei Free move was priceless!!

The what?

I've grown up on imports (japanese and then european) during the same time. I would definitely hoon a new GT.

OHHhhhh... I thought the Quad 4 (another redundant name!) was the twin dual cam... that makes more sense. Wow. That's like a 25 year old quandary that you've just sorted for me. Thank you!

Random question - WTF is a Twin Dual Cam engine? I've never understood that designation, it just doesn't make sense to me. Twin and dual are the same thing!

This. All other Jalops are failures for not pointing this out. EDIT - and then I kept scrolling down...

OMG! I had no idea wagonation existed! This is just like the day I discovered pr0nhub!!

As a motorcyclist I feel the same way - when I hear about bike accidents (fatalities or not) I want to know what happened, learn from what happened and hope it never happens to me.

America! Fuck yeah eh?

I can't tell you how excited I am about an affordable electric car with a decent range that's not, as you say, an econobox. I'm probably more excited about this than I should be!!
