Full size trucks are not much bigger, footprint wise, than the stuff made 30 years ago. (I just spent some time rolling around in a 1991 Chevy 1500 extended cab, and it overall felt the same as my 16 f150 extended cab)

What is different now is the height of the trucks. Factory 4x4's are way taller now, and beltlines…

I’ve been seeing a lot more newer GM trucks, but I wish I weren’t. Those things are just absolutely hideous.

Insurance companies alter rates for no given reason all the time. My premium fluctuates 5-10$ every renewal. I wouldn’t be surprised if they did pull this kind of thing.

I had this same idea last night, I disabled the apps tracking and other integrations on my iPhone last night, and will see how long it takes for the app, or statefarm to yell at me about it not checking in. I think I have an old iPhone laying around, I Could use for this.

I have no idea, it seems they take most issue with my speeding, as one ‘rated trip’ I had 5 stars in 4 categories, but had a 1 star in speed, and overall the trip was rated a 1 star.

State Farm and many other insurers write policies in 6 month increments. 

my 94/100 driver rating would indicate yes, but given how much data they are collecting now, the $25 a month discount I’m getting is not worth it. 

Considering how invasive it is now, there is not much as a consumer, my total policy discount is only $160 based on my record (which I am currently rated 94/100 in the app) so it’s about $25 a month in savings. I don’t think that’s really worth having Corporate Big Brother in my car.


For reference: When I signed up,…

I just checked my State Farm ‘Drive Safe and Save’ app, and yup ‘Phone Use’ is a metric on my scorecard, as well as speed checks against posted limits.

I feel like the books are going to end this way, as the books play way more into the spiritual/fantasy aspects than the show does. Also the show completely ignored the White Walkers/Wights/Night King threat for a couple of seasons, the Audience is now way more invested into the Ruler of Westeros arc, than the Humanity…

I almost feel bad for Laughlin, because she is clearly being used as the Anvil for the Prosecutors hammer. If they can nail her with a huge penalty (be it jail time, fine, etc) then the subsequent cases will go much more easily as the bar will be set as to : how fucked you are if you have been indicted for this.

There are three, absolutely, pivotal moments in my sports history as a Dallas resident:

The Mothers Day Massacre of the Lakers in 2011.

The Strike Out Looking of Alex Rodriguez by Neftali Feliz to send the Rangers to the world series in 2010.

Being there for Adrian Beltre’s 3000th Hit

Love Dirk, love the Mavs. Tuesday…

Amazing news, I’ve been on the Motor Trend Network bandwagon since it’s launch and have never regretted it.

Long Live Final Gear.

I completely agree, I 35 through austin should be obliterated, or scaled down and massively tolled.

Although I am very on the fence about I345, I understand the neighborhood problems it’s caused, but damn if a world without it trying to merge 30W to 75N or 45N to 75N looks pretty horrible. 

Oh god, a bunch of gamer man-bois are mad and leaving fake reviews. I’m so perturbed!

Dallas Texas Finance Company employee here:

Literally every FinBro in this office wears a damn vest. Most of them corporately branded. It’s the most disgusting thing in the world.

But it does make it easy to spot who you should stay clear of.

AF1 Racing from Austin also took one of the Energica Ego electric super bikes out there and made passes. I think they were getting to the mid 160's on it. 

I do not believe it gets you through the paywalls at the individual sites.

Publishers make money off of selling ads, not individual subs. Adding the magazine to News+ offers a new revenue stream and instant distribution count increases so now they can go back to their Inside Sales people and say ‘ad prices just increased X, let our advertisers know’

barking up the wrong tree man.
