Yup, just smog but if any aftermarket part on your engine is not accompanied by a Carb certification number it is an automatic failure.

as a New Orleanian, I say...

Appreciate the sentiment- but as a veteran, this holiday isn’t about me or any other living vet. It’s about the ones who didn’t make it home. We’ve got our own day; let the fallen have theirs.

They can’t do squat about twenty million illegal aliens in the country, but 40 Land Rovers being here is a national threat. Sounds legit.

This needs to go to court to establish precedent. If the Feds can’t prove that they’re illegal, they have no grounds to seize private property. What’s Lehto’s assessment?

Excellent article. rsync is an insanely useful tool. For Windows folks running file servers, you’ll want to learn to use Robocopy.

How many failures before you consider a product defective? One, five, one hundred? What are you comparing that failure rate to if the only data you have is of your own product? It’s not a black and white line between the decision to recall or not. In fact a recall like this can cause more deaths then the original…

Changing the propellant isn’t, in itself, evidence of malfeasance. Products are altered all the time to make them cheaper, better, or safer, and that is not an admission that the previous product was known to be unsafe. There is evidence to support the assertion that Takata considered the previous design unsafe, but…

It would be the ultimate union member. Has no opinion of his own, all his desires are those of the union, and all of his hard fought union mandated income can go straight back to the union people.

“Of course, this is all speculation, just like how autonomous cars will take away every automotive job and leave one robot called Stan to build every car in the next ten years. Right?”

5th:

Fiat having a higher share price than Ford is completely irrelevant considering Ford has 3 times the market cap of Fiat.

Share price without consideration of the number of shares outstanding is meaningless.

Uhh no. Try, Cisco. It’s a little networking company. Maybe you heard of it. And IBM is huge there. Research Triangle Park is the Eastern Silicon Valley

Best one of these speeches I was present for was when I was at our high school graduation, when I was in 10th grade. Although it wasn’t my graduation, I was still somewhat interested to see how it all went down.

(When you realize that all of Mr. Kluwe’s speeches have been given to his bathroom mirror, his story becomes much more entertaining.)

Dear Class of 2015

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE grad season. Seriously, of all the things I get irrationally excited about (boss letting us out at 3pm? BEST. DAY. EVER.), grad season is the tits.

What about the I3 1.0 eco-boost from Ford and call it the green machine. Would that work too?
That would annoy both Ford and Corvette people right?

One of the worst Vette’s ever produced. By the time you put enough money into it to make it look and run decent, you can get a C5 or a C6 which looks infinitely better, is faster, and has more modern comforts.

I wonder if they’ll use the same lawyers to slam Consumer Reports as they did with Top Gear, or if they’ll get a whole new fresh group.

Tesla is probably planning on suing CR for finding a problem with one of their vehicles.
