This was an exciting day at work, you can see me run down there to get people away from the pumps. I didn’t know at the time, but there wasn’t any fire.

The Vibe was a toyota matrix rebadged amd built by nummi.  It was good because it wasn’t a gm, not because it was actually good.

The least reliable car I have ever worked on. Forget it’s looks, it didn’t function in any sense of the word automobile. It is worthless, at absolutely no price would I take one in any condition. Not only could you not sell one to me you could not pay me any amount to take one because I don’t want any part of that…

Both my x3 and my suburban get around 12mpg average. The regulations don’t work if everyone is just incentivized to buy larger cars.

This is a dodge frame, right where it’s riveting together the spring hanger and rear frame section, the rest of the frame was solid.

My first mod would be putting a travis pastrana on it, so they did that part right

The bike is a non production race bike, everything on it and about it is specially modified.

A lot of this range/capacity/where is there a charging station on my route issues could be solved if they would just design a standard “power cell” (think big sci fi glowing cylinder prop with a big turn lock handle). Make a stop, swap out your batteries at a charging station and leave your old ones to charge for the…

In a storm I have to approach my driveway from the opposite lane. I have to time my approach correctly because I need to carry momentum and stopping to wait for traffic to cross lanes means not enough speed to make it. Then the DSC gets turned off and I have to induce oversteer to keep enough momentum through the…

I remeber there were a considerable amount of girls who played everquest online adventures back on the ps2, it almost seamed 50-50 male female, and this type of atmosphere just didn’t exist in that game, no one cared, and the game was significantly better because of it. I also spent a good deal of time playing…

well the first two should be easy given how short the segments of repeating data are.

If you are boiling lobster at all you are doing it wrong. The only proper way to cook it is to steam softshell no larger than 1.5lb live on a bed of seaweed. As for the butter arguments I will generally eat my first couple with butter and lemon, because i’m a fatty and like eating butter, but the third one on is…

I’ve seen this several times while working as a gas attendant at a very busy station, also seen people remove the hose with the handle depressed, showering their entire car in fuel.

One aspect that I think is really important that the crown vic got right is it’s ability to take hits. It was a tough vehicle that had considerable weight. If it weren’t for that the 3rd gen Camry would have been a better interceptor in nearly every other way, Now if Ford had put an auto in the awd montego / five…

This 1995 3000gt vr4 for sale with the original air box:

it’s gotta be better than my ranger (actually a mazda), half filled the bed with gravel today, now my mud flaps are a bit shorter.

me too (backs away slowly). The S2000 was a much better miata than the miata ever was.

I once helped (laughed and took photos) a man load a long track snowmobile into the back of his pt cruiser. To that man it was a truck, and no one was going to tell him differently.
