Being a white middle aged male...I know.

Clearly, you are a winner also.

He’s not, other than perhaps by conflating “smart” and “educated”. There really was a tendency (not that long ago; I’m 50 and it was still there when I was growing up) for the working class to think education was a sucker’s game because they could make just as much if not more without it. It wasn’t until the 1980s…

As Grandpa Simspon said, “The metric system is the tool of the Devil--my car gets 40 rods to the hogshead, and that’s the way I likes it!”

I doubt ‘logical consistency’ is something they can even spell.

basically, less power than you get from any 4-cylinder today, without having to wait for 2500 rpm to get going.

Part something like this out

A sage comment, indeed.

So that really is a gold digger.

There is a clutch but you only use it to go into first from neutral I believe. Every shift from there onward is a simple paddle pull

I think i can just barely hear it shift into top gear at 7:44?Yes it seems those top two ratios are extremely close.From the little i know it’s not uncommon to setup a race gearbox this way.
The thinking goes something like this; The race rules will allow a maximum number of gears.Once first gear is chosen, the…

“dog box” is the phrase you were looking for.It refers to the way the gears engage.They can be made more compact,tougher and faster shifting than a normal road car synchromesh -at the cost of more noise and some parasitic losses.

I’m sure the seats are.

I try not to.

That’s mostly true, but a couple of points:

To your point about Occam’s Razor (I agree with all your other points), it does fall apart in this way.

If all of these accusers had dropped at the same time, then you could make the argument that the likelihood they’ve coordinated this specifically to take down Franken, perhaps for political reasons, would be unlikely…

or....2010 Camry?

Maybe a Dodge Dart? The dart has visible splash guards, which could break off easily. The back light looks contiguous like what a Dart, Charger, Challenger? comes with.

Kamala reminds me of Bernie (although I find her to be VASTLY more intelligent) in that people are jumping on the bandwagon without really knowing much about her. I think we’re all thirsty for a woman president, particularly one who is a minority given how shitty representation is in general, I get it. But she is very…

My brother drove a school bus for a few years, and among the more egregious crap people pulled was darting into gaps like this and eating up his stopping distance. It’s reckless and dangerous. Period.
