Right as the police were dragging this person out of the plane, someone should've whispered in their ear,"Thanks for the DNA."

Tell me about it, one of the best cars I owned... Got 220k miles out of mine

I realize this is an automotive thread, but I have to include this example in regards to design. Leo Fender designed amplifiers with serviceability in mind. This is sublime in comparison to other amps from this time period... 

Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me that you were making a joke, All Things Considered, you are On Point. This has been some good Car Talk.

Yeah, I got “Your AT&T bill is paid! Here’s a free gift:” followed by an obviously-bad URL multiple times a day just after the holidays. Seems to have died down now.

On a C4 Corvette you had to take off this little very lightweight fiberglass panel behind a tire...light weight enough that it can pretty easily get grabbed by a strong gust and blow it across a parking lot making a college kid working at a parts store shit his pants that it might get torn to hell or run over while…

You have to do remove the front wheel for battery access on Ferrari F355 too.

We rented a Caravan about ten years ago. My family drove from Tucson, Arizona across the desert to Los Angeles in the middle of June. I watched the outside temp gauge climb past 110 degrees, praying we didn’t get a flat tire. I can’t imagine crawling around on the tarmac on the side of the interstate... Worst spare…

I have a stick in my ‘fun’ car, but for the DD it’s an auto. I probably would have gone with a stick, but for two things: A) the wife is just over shifting her own gears and B) Good luck finding a car that my wife wants to drive that still has it even as an option.

As I get older, and the arthritis starts to get set into my hip, I really have learned to appreciate automatic transmissions. 

Oh, sure, they “bleed static discharge off of an aircraft.” But we all know the real reason.

There is a minimum brightness?

I’m a HUGE fan of Mary Roach, and would highly recommend her books. Regardless of your interest in the topic when you start, you’ll be totally drawn in.

(Still gray, still not crazy, been at it for YEARS. WTF does it take?)

having worked ENG and currently work in production...no. These lights are extremely noticeable and if nothing else the actual bloom from the light would have been very visible. The driver wasn’t paying attention, plain and simple.

Max doesn’t have a gun to his head, he hates the whole “we race as one” because, many white Europeans are pretty racist. I lived in Europe for many years and can tell you from first hand experience this is very true. Also, Max is Dutch, have you seen their Christmas tradition? Black Pete. Pretty racist stuff, and they…

Mine is Mazda 3 specific, but there are universal units from Eonon (brand I got). Double check the specs and try to get one with at least 3 gigs of RAM.

Your clutch doesn’t need an adjustment, you need a new throwout bearing (and you might as well put a clutch in it while you are in there). But it might go a long, long time like that, just don’t hold the pedal to the floor at lights - put it in neutral and let the clutch out to save as much wear and tear as possible.

A transmission and programming/management software can go a LONG way to get an engine to stand out over another. Want it a bit sportier feeling, make the engine ramp up a bit faster and lean out later on. Dial in a bit more boost and size the turbo slammer for more low end grunt if the vehicle is heavier.
Things can be…
