It’s really hard to get the message the writer is sending when you don’t read more than the headline of the article.

Life’s a lot better (in my humble opinion, ymmv) when you make your life outside of your work what you love and find a job that funds that and allows you to enjoy and embrace it (read: work/life balance and flexibility). The pool for decent paying tolerable jobs is much larger than those that you love and can support…

What are you smoking - “...release more quickly after a lockup...?”

Yes, this whole thing is like one of those self-induced Pinterest-fails. Let’s see how this project turns out when I do everything wrong.

So.. I’m reading a bunch of problems here that you caused.
bolts backing out of the brakes... no threadlock...cmon...THEY ARE BRAKES?

also, why even do discs... it’s a light car with the motor in the butt... it’s not required...you can easily lock all 4 tires on a bug with manual drums and that’s all the stopping…

I suspect it’s a common ailment among classic car owners- drumophobia.

US welfare programs ARE shit. You can’t really live on them, either, as all but those specifically for mothers with small children end in like 3 months. Even when they are paying out, you don’t receive enough to live on.

Are you REALLY in the “top income bracket” or do you just believe that you are becasue you’re living a nice upper middle-class life? I’m not judging, but I just need to know because I hear this from a lot of people. The honest truth is that if you make anything south of $500K per year then you really are not in the…

What happened to his car this time? Will he make it across the country? How many tows will he need? Stay tuned for more of the Continuing Misadventures of Raphael and his New Blue Bug!

I just wrote an enormous check for my taxes this year. I’d prefer that 60% of it didn’t go to the military or subsidies for giant corporations. I’d prefer it went toward education and infrastructure. That makes me a bad person?

>you can’t propose the idea of letting the wealthy pay for everything, while the poor can remain poor

When you say things like “free shit” re: Bernie you’re basically saying “i have absolutely no idea what i’m talking about”

They are very balanced and totally rational to any democracy outside the US that actually has good social safety nets

I do make $100k/year and I support him. I dont want anything for free (except free Uber rides like that guy in Funbag lucked into) but I would appreciate it if roads and bridges were maintained/improved.

Yeah, I’m sure he has had many interactions with “socialist-minded” people and that they have “berned” him! That’s a totally plausible scenario, just like God talking to him.

So perpetuating this intolerance and leaving some disabled woman on the side of the road stranded somehow makes things better in your mind? Are you daft?

aaaaaaand.... you’re wrong.

But that didn’t happen, did it? We’re talking about a Trump supporter denying a Bernie supporter help. Could the same happen if it was the reverse? Certainly. Would most Trump supporters do the same that this guy did? Likely not, because they’re probably not assholes. But trying to justify this because the possibility…

Bullshit.

except none of top level writers for Jalopnik know anything about wrenching anymore. Raph? Mike? at least Steph drives in low buck racing sometimes. (not you Tom, I enjoy reading your advice)
