Any Hummer, really. Unless you are actually active military OR need to regularly drive somewhere that doesn’t have a road, there’s no reason to daily drive one. Add to the fact that 99% of the people driving them are rich asshole douchebags who are desperately overcompensating and you have a car that’s extremely easy…

Meh, not big on the Cube but there’s something about the late, lamented Scion xB that I really liked. It was an inexpensive compact toaster and it had no problem with that. Decent, affordable and with ludicrous amounts of space - what’s not to love?

Wow, it’s almost as if they have absolutely nothing better to do than go after minor vandalism offences. Didn’t they have a few thousand Nazi’s parading around and inciting violence a few days ago? And don’t they have film of a bunch of white supremacists beating a black man nearly to death at the same time while they…

Meh. I kind of miss the parachute pants.

Yeah, yeah, whatever - I went through all of this back in the 1980's in high school. Neither we nor our teachers were stupid and we all understood that the worst-case scenario was actually surviving a nuclear strike. We were reassured several times that our relatively small city (pop. ~300K) had industries that made…

This is the only sensible response. If you get a warning that a nuke is going to impact within 10 miles of your location, get as close to that spot as you can in the time you have left. The best possible outcome is instant, painless vaporization.

And remember, people don’t just sit still and starve quietly. EMP NYC and within 24 hours it will be out of food. Long before that law and order will have broken down and the number of people killed in the post EMP violence will exceed the number killed in the immediate aftermath of the EMP. Within a few weeks there…

Why? What could their possibly be to live for after a nuclear holocaust? If you are so unfortunate as to survive your second best outcome will be dying quickly. There is no possible way that life will be in any way enjoyable for at least six months at best, and if you’re anywhere near enough to ground zero to notice…

Yeah, the posturing loon who can barely lob a nuke 100 miles from his own shoreline is the guy causing the problem. Right.

Inflatables are your salvation. I have two inflatable single-seat kayaks that go in the back seat of my convertible with the paddles sticking up. I had a kid, so now I have one big tandem inflatable with room for her to sit between me and the wife; all of them each fit into the equivalent of a large suitcase.

Canadian here - as long as something isn’t actually falling from the sky, my top is down. Period. Cold? That’s what seat heaters and winter coats are for!

Point them at an Eos. Very nice interior to spend time in and a lovely cruiser. Just spend the extra on the aftermarket warranty as they have VW reliability and any repair to the roof is going to be more than the car is worth.

Born and raised in Canada, I’m so liberal that I don’t even appear on the American political map (I voted NDP for years - look that up if you’re curious). I’m also a brain cancer survivor myself, although my tumor was a much less aggressive strain and I’ve been incredibly lucky in my treatment. So all told, as a good…

I doubt Senator McCain wants “I put worthless quitter Palin on the ticket” for his tombstone.

Exactly. Just look at the messages that cops are hearing now:

My first wife was Jewish and not even close to orthodox. Her parents were divorced and she never went to temple unless her family dragged her there for something. I’m a tolerant atheist made even more tolerant by the fact that Judaism is as much culture as religion, so I honestly didn’t give a shit. I’ll sit through…

Festivus is a really fun non-denominational holiday!

See, I could not give less of a shit about the interior of a corvette. I do give a shit about the interior of a Cadillac.

I always wanted to put an extra-loud air horn into my Mini convertible just to scare the living shit out of assholes who never seemed to notice me. Blast them, make them panic and think that a semi was barreling down on them and then enjoy watching their adrenaline shakes wear off slowly as they realize it’s just a…

I was just at the Pride Boston march this weekend and was surprised to see Delta was marching along with Virgin. Now I see they’re pandering to the right wing, so that was obviously just lip service. Not that I needed one more reason not to fly Delta, but this is caps it.
