Shovels: also a kind of technology.

While I'm no fan of it either, I'm not gonna complain about something finally being done to deal with trolls. I'm assuming those Make Money bots will get caught in this as well.

I vote for Two Lane Blacktop. It has that 70s style movie flair in that it's a little slow by today's standards, but its a great car movie.

I often joke that all men in their 20s are assholes and all women in their 20s are crazy. Grossman brings this theory to life... but I love his books, and I find his characters infuriating and captivating. Much like people hate on Sansa Stark... a character that is, sure, annoying, but believable. Both she and…

I am not sure if I'm going to catch any flak for this, but I think that almost any car (except maybe spongy little cars like the 2CV) could become better with less power... and I'm not trying to dodge the question.

Either Doris Lessing, really she was one of the best of the 20th century, also C.S. Lewis

The lord of the Rings, though this is a bit long so I would be happy with just "The Walking Song" from it.

"I have no patience for small things."

When you walk up to a Porsche owner and they are telling you about the brands storied past and how they have always been an innovator you can compliment them on how original being the first company to put a turbo on a car with a rear engined flat six. Oh wait, that was Chevy.

time loop. We're caught in a

Not really mistreat but RX-8's engines blow up unless driven hard on a regular basis - Italian tune-up! All the ones with lost compression and eventual broken apex seals are ones that have been gently driven (likely not taken above 7000rpm at least once daily), thus allowing carbon to be built up. That, combined with…

As long as they mean early 70s, we're good. 70 and 71 were my favorite years for camaro looks. Much more so than the slab lines of the 60s camaros. These camaros to me actually *look* like a sports/pony car instead of looking like a biscayne or chevelle that got caught in a vice and squashed down a little.

Different missions, for certain, but this is still the high water mark for American car styling.http://image.motortrend.com/f/wot/happy-b-…

As with any race, but especially at Le Mans, if you can't finish the race it doesn't matter how fast you are.

I thought that article had some good points regarding adult experiences should result in more mature readers and how some YA (far from all of it) is pretty absurd from an adult point of view. I tried to re-read some Christopher Pike last year, and I loved those books, but they were objectively terrible as an adult who…

If you don't count fairy tales into the fantasy genre (I had a ton of beautifully illustrated fairy tale books as a kid that I learned to read with), I think it was The BFG and Matilda. I learned how to read at a really weird rate, where I went from struggling with picture books to college reading levels within less…

So, long story short. The car's body was found rotting in a field. We have no idea how the car got from pre-war Germany to the US Midwest. We assume it involves a serviceman after the war. We figure that most of these cars were likely melted down and dropped on England during WWII.

We hill-climbed our 1934 Borgward Hansa 1100! Is that close enough?

Dear everyone,
