At my previous employer (computer repair shop) I was able to dig through our recycle pile and salvage whatever I wanted. I built a lot of computers this way and sold most of them on craigslist. While my salary itself wasn't the greatest, the side income definitely helped out.

Well, technically they're all Type B. Mini and Micro are just subsets of Type B.

It also depends on where you live. Here in New Mexico, gas prices have had a much more dramatic swing. There are some places that are getting close to $2/gal vs the nearly $3.50/gal we were seeing this summer. In your scenario above, assuming $2.25/gal, you're looking at a monthly cost of ~$132, which is a…

Cheap gas is good and bad. Obviously it's good right now while we're filling up (~$2.40/gal avg here in ABQ). But the flip side is we'll likely end up with people who buy big SUVs and trucks without knowing when or how much gas prices will go back up. But if gas prices do go back up to crazy levels, I'll be waiting…

Communists. And anybody else who hates freedom. Yup.

Whenever I fly I use my DOE issued badge from work. I need to carry it with me anyway for work purposes, so it works nicely as general ID too. Plus with the whole RealID thing sorta kinda enforced and my driver's license not conforming to it (New Mexico) it's a handy alternative to not carrying around my passport.

Strange. Whenever I fly I use my DOE issued badge and it works every time with no fuss. That being said, the federal government has been slowly working towards a unified badge for all federal agencies (HSPD-12) and that's what mine is.

I use mine for various work documentation, but that's about it. Having a 5.7" smartphone kinda makes a tablet a bit useless. The good news for me at least, is that my tablet is an HP Touchpad that I bought with a pile of accessories, for $130. It actually runs KitKat pretty well, especially when the CPU is…

Exactly. So what AutoNation is offering is the ability to find a car online, reserve the price, put a hold on it with a credit card, and go in and pick up the car.

I was at the race yesterday. You know you're the new bad boy when even Kyle Busch gets more cheers than boos and you get nothing but boos.

Alright, fair enough on the current capabilities of rail. Trucks in metro areas, yes, will still have to happen. I realize I never mentioned that in particular, but I would consider it a success if we get the trucks off of the interstates and other highways stretching across the nation and get things more localized.…

It seems incredibly silly to me that we don't ship all of our cross country freight by rail. Doing so has a whole pile of benefits.

Lowest I've seen in Albuquerque is $2.65/g for regular. Not great, but definitely better than it was a few months ago.

Strange. I just flew on Delta at the end of Sept and it was just as I said. Same back in March too.

I do believe so. You are able to use all small electronics (phones, tablets, e-readers, etc) throughout the whole flight, provided you have it in airplane mode. The only things you have to stow for takeoff and landing are larger things like laptops and such.

That's ok. I'd only want my Hellcat to be part of a cool group anyway. I don't do any of that lone wanderer BS.

I hate that I'm technically a Millennial. But if one of these were close to me I'd totally fake not being able to drive a manual just to drive some of those cars. They're probably way nicer to drive than the old beater F-150 I learned on.

Probably because he doesn't know. Bleah.

I'll have to talk with him then and see what he says. Thanks for the info.
