The reason is to determine the cause of the crash to try to prevent a similar crash in the future.

I’d encourage you to have the alignment checked out now that you’ve got all the work done. The factory caster and camber curves were made with a specific ride height and amount of travel in mind, and with it lowered and nothing else changed you’re more than likely running more camber now than before. Maybe not a huge…

Many Asian cultures want remains of the deceased so their souls can be laid to rest.

Two questions:

Money doesn’t buy intelligence.

This is the problem. This stuff isn’t rocket science, and the tech behind protecting yourself after a nuclear blast has been well understood for decades. But unless you are a hard-core prepper who has put in the effort to learn how it all works and how to maintain it and survive on your own over a long period of time,…

The thing that escapes these people is that they can’t stockpile 40-50 years of shelf-stable food and water. Also, there’s storage and disposal of human waste to consider.

Families need closure in terms of the “what” and the “why” of the incident. It hasn’t been about the hopes of recovering remains for a decade.

The beacon is dead, yes. The actual data on the FDR and CVR may very well be recoverable, as those things are built to a degree that could impress the nuclear material transport cask guys.

I live across the river from DC and a few miles from the Pentagon. If stuff ever goes down, there is the macabre comfort that for me it will probably be instantaneous, so no melting skin and radiation sickness to worry about!

Next time I see the giant speed bump with a massive scrape on it, a trail of oil leading to the side of the road, and a definitely not lowered car at the end of the trail I’ll get a picture.  I’ve seen it twice now, and I haven’t even lived in this neighborhood for a year.

There’s plenty of speed bumps, curbs, and gutters within a mile of my house that would damage a car that low to the ground. Add in the pot holes from snow plows on the asphalt, and the big rig caused pot holes on the syncrete and the chances for damage increase exponentially.

I mean, we can do all sorts of things but...

“oh this looks cool and I can get a deal.”

I saw or read somewhere a good observation about this switch to electric, the gist was that the vast, vast majority of the previous gen Challenger/Charger sales were the base, or next step up trims with the 3.6 V6. Most of the buyers for these cars were people who thought, “oh this looks cool and I can get a deal.”…

Even if you can get these people behind the wheel and admit that it ain’t so bad, that will do fuck all. People are stubborn, emotional, and unwilling to change, especially about things like “does it have a V8.” Ask Pepsi how the Pepsi Challenge ultimately worked out.

Not true.  They have a governor who is famous for being able to ignore reality, so that’s what they’ll do here.  If you ignore the problem (or blame Democrats for it), it no longer becomes a problem.  Or so I’m told will be how the world works in about a month.

They have lots of sand to bury their heads in, though!

Someone was telling me that once upon a time, beach front property was once seen as low class from the rich people. Until they saw poor people having fun and they didn’t like that, so they decided to leave the mountains for the beach and kick the poors more inland...Basically the beaches crumbling apart is a virtual…
