What engine? My Patriot has the 2.4 and rpm's are nowhere near 4000 at highway (70 mph) speeds. Maybe on an incline, but not just cruising along. As for rain...that's probably more tires than the car.

The Compass is ugly, but as fare as almost identical otherwise, never understood the hate for the Patriot. Love mine.

A buddy of mine definitely falls into the "Moron Bills Fan" category. He was involved in someone being dropped into a barrel fire one year. Anyway...on a related note, a few years ago at our summer party, he ends up in the kitchen with a bunch of dudes whipping each other with belts. Started with glow sticks (don't…

What about people who like owning their own home, having a yard, and don't want to live in an apartment building? But also not be way out in the country. The 'burbs have a place. Maybe not the best answer, but living in a city sucks for a lot of people. Especially people who need a bit of space to keep all sorts of…

Brought gloves with us to games we sat close to the field during our honeymoon road trip. Those liners screaming over the dugouts are no joke. Amazing how many people are looking at their phones during an at bat.

Actually, as a skier, they are great. Little known fact: most of the snow in the region is to the south of the city, in the hills. Also: I'll take snow, even a blizzard, any day over tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, mudslides, volcanos, tsunamis, wildfires...did I miss any?

That is an impressive amount of time spent on cruise.

Buffalo is the best kept "secret" in the country. Word is starting to get out though, so maybe not much of a secret anymore. But, of all the places I've lived and traveled to here in the US, it is by far the best place to live. Sure, other towns are a lot of fun to visit and vacation. But there is nothing like this…

100% in.

Nano Dynamics?

And this explains why Texas is, well, Texas.

One single human driver has a 99% probability of fucking the whole thing, because 99% of drivers have no idea how to leave gaps, not tailgate, not speed, properly merge, or operate a motor vehicle in general. Throw in your morning and afternoon rush hours, when everyone is doing anything but paying attention to…

This really should be the only Why Your Team Sucks article. I mean all 31 other teams are the greatest organizations ever when compared to this shit show. I gave up on this team a few years ago. The best part though: these asshole fans max out season ticket sales year after year. People lose their minds over…

Per Wiki: “Buffalo’s original plan from the early 19th century was loosely based on Pierre Charles L’Enfant’s 1791 plan for Washington, an Americanized version of Paris’s system of radiating boulevards. Buffalo’s radial street grid was designed by Joseph Ellicott and complemented by a system of parks and parkways…

Holy shit. Thank you for making everyone dumber. As said...the Falls can be shut off. Also doesn't empty in lake Erie, but who needs to know geography anyway. Buffalo and Cleveland are on the same fucking lake, by the way. Holy shit I can't even comprehend how stupid you must be. I would gladly accept NYC going…

I used to work for a company that designs and manufactures the furnaces that make carbon fiber. That's all it is...fiber. Thread basically. Weaved into cloth. Cool that it can be layered and formed into a structure via resin. Cooler that is just crumbles like in these videos. Well maybe not cool if it's your car, or…

Somewhat related...saw a Lotus yesterday. On the I-90. In Buffalo. Not something you see every day around here. Don't know what model, but wow was that a good looking car. Sounded good too just crusing along at 60. Green with yellow stripes, if anyone knows it.

Solid call on upgrading to a neck tattoo.

Fuck you. Seriously though: There is nothing hipster about this. This is someone putting legit work into making a damn fine truck. This is true craftsmanship. Not some fake poser "hey look at me I'm cooler than you because I have something old" insufferable asshole. Hipsters are everything that is wrong with the…
