Shit

The man with 30,000 toy cars didn’t have a wife or children?! I’m shocked. SHOCKED!

Sheldon Brown sez:

Every 10 people gathered, they lost a point in their iQ.

The only thing dumber than some of us is all of us, together.

Muslims in the US are far more assimilated than countries like France and Britain. And to keep it that way, we need to make sure we don’t do anything stupid like have a major public figure tell them they’re all unwelcome.....oh, wait....

It probably has something to do with the relatively low-tech, decentralized nature of the attacks (compared with, say, 9/11, Madrid, or London). I’m guessing these guys are leaving less and less evidence behind, whether physical or digital.

Oh, I love the slow pass story! Now *that* was “falling with style”. :-D

“I don’t have time now to talk.”

I just sat down for lunch and this article popped up. Now I feel like a real life Carls Jr. commercial.

I hope McNair refuses the eventual settlement offer. This is one of those cases where the toxic publicity plus likelihood of defeat might draw a greater-than-requested settlement award from the corporation, basically giving McNair a full win, plus monetizing the accompanying non-disclosure. I just hope McNair wants to…

Or, better yet, contactless charging with charge pads underneath bus stops.

You sir are the problem.

I guess you think this article is about other people.

Screw it. Ticket ‘em. If they’re so obtuse they don’t know the law (even when many highways already have signs saying “slower traffic keep right” or some permutation of the same) and so self absorbed they don’t notice or care they’re leading a huge parade, they deserve a ticket.

Again, I’ll have to disagree there. Apart from the 2600 V8 no Glas engine had more the 100hp in 1966, while the 1800 TI/SA and the 2000 Tii already produced 130hp out of 1800 or 2000cc respectively. The general suspension technology (struts in front, semi-trailing arms in the rear) was also unchanged from the Neue…

Ahhh no it wasn’t. The 1500 was quite literally the technological and stylistic template on which almost all BMWs up until the 1990s were based off. The most notable feature of Glas vehicles was the use of timing belts, a technology many manufacturers are abandoning again because chains simply tend to be more long…

Early 60s - an interesting era for German cars. Merc was seriously modernizing their cars at the time and pushing up production volume - but they chose the solid/staid/heavy/tomb-like route, and only just getting started. Audi was going front drive/longitudinal engine and building interesting cars. VW was still in the…

I don’t think engineering-wise Glas was so important. They mainly bought it for the Dingolfing production capacity. BMW’s main technological pillars were already set in 1961 when the first neue Klasse (BMW 1500) came out. The 02 was the 2door version of that car, the E21 a direct descendant.
