The long-tail issues people experience from concussions are, quite rightly considered the sequelae of brain injury. Short-term memory loss, irritability, light sensitivity, confusion...I can say from experience that they all suck, and can take several months to resolve.

I’m a Mazda fan, but this car was just stupid. The decision to sell it with such a limited range blew my mind.

Full-size spare tire. Hands down. Have done it with every car since the 90's.

Anti-choice has always been a pre-qualifier for anyone involved in Republican electoral politics, especially men, and particularly at the state level. The party and the anti-choice movement demanded a lock-step, linear approach, and the anti-choice movement derided any medical professional or anyone who accepted the…

One day, or never, we’re going to realize that fame and credibility have no association. I cannot see the utility in reporting the musings of an actor/professional semi-nude person about child labor, unless the purpose in publishing is to cultivate deprecating comments from readers and possibly some sort of negative…

The Scion xB was a useful little vehicle, perfect for someone in a city who still needed to run around and buy or move large amounts of stuff, but also wanted to park fairly easily. “Ugly” and “bad” are not synonyms, and the consumer cars on this list (with the exception of the Cavalier, Jesus) are all pretty good,…

C’mon. This shit has never been legal. It’s bonkers to expect a municipality to provide a place for people to do this stuff, given all of the costs that would arise: maintenance, ungodly insurance, security (guns are not unheard of at these type of incidents), on-call medical for the dopes who keep getting themselves…

I could never give money to a guy who ordered that license plate.

Many things can be true at the same time. The healthcare system in America is a mess, and it has spawned plenty of strange bedfellows; the conceit of this movie is anything but far-fetched. The military (particularly infantry soldiers) is in its own bubble - legally, ethically, they are under civilian control and go…

Just wait for the advertising that doesn’t allow for “opt-out”.

I love public transit. I use it as frequently as possible. It’s existence doesn’t obviate my need for a personal car, though, because I often need to go places not served by mass transit. America is a big place, and from the late 1940's on, Americans abandoned non-commuter rail in favor of the car resulting in…

WHen you’re a kid and you’re being treated unfairly by those in control of your life, and your alleged peer isn’t prevented from exploring opportunities you are denied, resentment is a given. If your peer is a notoriously awful person, that probably compounds things.

The worst car I ever owned was, in a weird way, among the best. A RWD 1979 Pontiac LeMans station wagon. No power options. Broken turn-signal stalk. Drooping headliner. Dead A/C. Dents here and there. Blown speaker in the radio - the only speaker. Terrible mileage. Terrible brakes. Broken motor mounts - rocked when it…

I wish I had known that my knees have drawn a line in the sand when it comes to sports cars. Not the driving of them, but the regular getting in and getting out. “Fuck those low-seated cars! You’ll have to replace us, if you want to keep buying them!”, they have said.

Wait until you try to take a turn at high speed...

It’s amazing how many car enthusiasts I know that have done stupid shit in their performance cars, causing injury to themselves or others. I love performance cars, but I know that most real performance cars can operate well beyond my limits as a driver. Part of being a car enthusiast, just like being a gun owner, is…

This isn’t a question of defending Bezos, which I’m not. I’m pointing out that the entire premise of the headline is false. Bezos isn’t the prime mover in this case, the contractor is, and outrage should be directed to the contractor who is building the boat and local government, who made an agreement with the…

Bezos contracted with a company to build the boat. The company made all the arrangements in cooperation with the city. Bezos didn’t do any of that, so why not be accurate? “Bezos’ Contractor Did Not Need To Dissemble Bridge”. How hard is that?

My brother put 300k+ and 3 turbochargers on one of those.  My brother also lives as if time stopped in 1988.

They do not.
