I try not to kink-shame, I seriously do. However,

I’ve taken three shots, last one was back in February, none of them caused anything other than a sore arm (my vaccine was Pfizer/BioNTech). My wife did have some additional side effects but not enough to miss work, and was fully vaccinated when she finally got the virus, which for her was very mild (pretty much the…

Yup, same with me. And I get it that it’s not the same for everyone, and some people had to put up with a few miserable days, which is a bummer. But then there’s people like someone in my family who was just looking for an excuse to openly say she distrusts the vaccine, and paints this horrible picture of her first…

And even that handful of deaths weren’t entirely caused by the vaccine, but rather an underlying condition - previously undiagnosed in most cases - in conjunction with the vaccine. Some people learned that they had auto-immune diseases after severe reactions to the vaccine (which was not recommended for such cases if…

haha

This is one of the reasons I kinda hate Top Gear. They’ve confessed to rigging the Reliant for that segment years ago, but what stuck forever in collective memory was the narrative that the Reliant 3-wheelers would tip over doing trivial turns.

Do phones automatically correct Duel with Dual? I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen Duel - the film referred to as Dual.

Uh, you seem to be confusing scary with fun. The rust isn’t their fault, they’re holding up just fine this side of the pond. I think you guys have a real problem with road salt. You have rust like I’ve never seen anywhere else, not even in cars that spend 3+ decades outside by the beach.

No, you’re correct, the body style is in fact Shooting Brake. I’m assuming in this case Break is the name used by the coach builder, since it’s how I’ve always seen this particular one being referred to. The station wagon/estate body style is known as break in France, and Rolls-Royce always had a thing for stupid…

Well, late to the party, but here it goes: John Entwistle’s brown, coachbuilt Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II “Shooting Break” (I know it’s a station wagon, but since it was built specifically to go hunting, they called it Shooting Break). I’m not really into hunting, golden accents or The Who, but dear god, look at this…

How people still try to make the point that he didn’t share responsibility for the tragedy is beyond my comprehension. I’ve been at many shows with violent mosh pits and every single time things started to get ugly the artists literally stopped the show and got the crowd under control. It’s a very normal occurrence…

Hah, great point. Although in this case it’s a direct quote, so there’s a decent chance the local resident quoted here is to one to blame for that. I don’t know, if it was me writing an article and I had to use that quote, I’d have to use “[sic]” after “$8,000".

Yup, this car would’ve been 3 years old at most when it was buried. It has to be a typo.

New ones started at slightly more than $80K, and this was at most a 3 year old car when the supposed insurance scam happened - one that didn’t depreciate much over that period of time - so it has to be a typo, right?

But that doesn’t make any sense, they’re talking about an insurance scam (alleged) that happened in 1992. Current value is irrelevant to the story.

The car was buried in ‘92, what it’s worth now is irrelevant. The alleged insurance scam happened three decades ago - allegedly. It’s what it was worth then that matters

This has to be either a joke to a typo, right? Did you mean $80.000?

Thanks for this. The idea that the compensation amount can influence a jury’s decision tells you how much people have no idea how the judicial system works. The jury is there to evaluate evidence and testimony, and deliberate upon that whether they find the defendant guilty or not. The amount the defendant will have…

This paragraph reads like a review of my Renault 4 (also built in Yugoslavia). Change that horsepower figure to 34 and curb weight to 1,600 pounds, replace the word “Yugo” with “Renault”, and you have a review of a 1991 GTL in 2022.
