Personally, I have zero interest in doing 200 mph in any automobile.  I’m guessing that many Plaid owners will try it, at least a few on public roads.  And it will not end well. 

You had me until 170K miles.  Tick-tick-BOOM. ND. 

I remember this well from the car rags of the era.  I remember being pretty excited about what the future held for the next RX vehicle.  Imagine my disappointment when I finally got to drive an RX-8.  I mean, it’s not terrible, but it’s definitely “meh” when compared to the previous RX-7. 

I don’t think the towing thing is as big a practical issue as one might expect. This is purely anecdotal, but I’ve got to think that the majority of truck owners use their trucks basically like cars. They might tow a light trailer once or twice in a year, and maybe throw a bag of Sakrete in the bed once or twice if it…

This is fantastic! In a sane world, every Cody would get one of these instead of a coal rolling, Cummins-equipped brodozer. But I think it’s been established that the average truck guy needs the full kayfabe of “a working man’s rig” despite the fact that they could functionally replace it with a Camry and get by just…

We should all hope that this is the long and short of it.  Because the GOP is gambling on being able to slide the rabid Trump base behind De Santis or Hawley.  I’m not convinced that it will work, but time will tell. 

Yep. I watched a friend fall down the rabbit hole, “get clean,” then relapse multiple times to devastating effect. The guy vanished from his social life and nearly torpedoed his career so he could keep up his raiding schedule. 

Mayweather and Paul both won big tonight.  Anybody that paid to watch this matchup, on TV or in person, lost big. 

An inexperienced person trying it themselves is the issue here. I can tell you that I’ve personally made some horrible beekeeping mistakes over the years because I saw videos of beekeepers doing things a certain way and wanted to emulate them.  I can’t even count the number of times I’ve been stung, and they’ve always…

TIL that “beefluencers” are a thing. I’ve been keeping bees for 7 years or so, and I can tell you that Chamberlain is 100% right. I learned this the hard way, by sort of picking and choosing the techniques that I’d try. I saw so many videos of “bee whisperers” that would roll up on a hive in shorts, a t-shirt and…

The Trump camp overplayed their hand in trademark fashion here.  The assumption always had to be that he would make these Twitter-style press release proclamations and that his base would immediately blast them out into the Twittersphere.  He vastly underestimated their attention span and tenacity.  Also, as I…

I came here to say you shouldn’t count on a “hybrid” equating “better mileage,” but then I realized that my “hybrid” RAM is branded “eTorque” and is referred to as a “mild hybrid,” which is likely reassurance to the truck bros that they’ll still get the horrible mileage they demand.  Bottom line is that the electric…

Is the market really this competitive for these things?  ND for me because I couldn’t see spending $6k of my dollars on a 30 year-old “survivor.”

Generally speaking, I wouldn’t disagree. But consider the fact that the gentleman pictured below is one of the hottest names in Bro Country:

This.  Gives the police yet another “legitimate” reason to harass a certain demographic.

This is kind of a pattern.  A RWNJ somehow became a top moderator of r/minnesota and started taking down any posts promoting vaccination, masking, social distancing and so on.  When confronted by some of his fellow moderators, he went ahead and gave them the ban hammer and continued to keep down any information about…

Cobra Kai style!

Well, I think we found the archetype for “bro country fan.”  Also, I’d bet a crisp $100 bill that he drives a lifted bro-dozer that has never seen any surface less pristine than a mall parking lot.

Might be a NP for a few people.  ND for me.
