Frankly I’m glad they kicked you out and were pissed off at you. I’ve canceled my subscription to all the car and bike mags that fly “motojournos” out to exotic locations to test their products. After a few grand in tickets, wining and dining, blowjobs and coke, who’s going to write a bad review? There’s no

The motorcycle scene there is equally amazing. Their daily rides are Knuckleheads, Panheads, side-valve K bikes; basically bikes that anywhere else are either treasured collector’s items or long since rusted away.

How many cup holders would their cars have?

It’s pretty amazing when you realize you could slalom ski behind that vessel.

Why have we made car buying in this country typically a humiliating and infuriating process for both the buyer and the seller? Nothing else we buy is such an excruciating process. Was it always this way?

I think the Air Force is planning a large "call-center" environment, where a few refueling specialists are leveraged across multiple tanker craft via their "remote control" boom-flying. Think of the savings in personnel costs; it must be in hundreds of dollars!

And sometimes a monopoly is a necessary evil to get a technology off the ground. If ATT hadn’t been given a telephone monopoly, farm and other remote communities would still be waiting for phone service.

Let’s compare Elon Musk to my former boss, Jeff Immelt of G.E. In 2008, G.E. lost over a third of its market value. That same year, Immelt scored just over a quarter of a billion (that’s billion, not million) dollar bonus. He “made his number” by laying off over 3,000 employees worldwide. So while Jeff was making

This Is Why Valentino Rossi Is The Greatest Motorcycle Racer In The World.

Several cars of that era were designed for Wankel engines. The AMC Pacer and Chevy Vega come to mind; there were probably others. Fuel consumption is usually the reason given for switching to piston engines, but rotor seals were still a very big problem at that point as well.

“I’M COMING,” Tom ejaculated.

Brilliant, on so many levels.

In space, no one can hear you order a beer.

If I have another accident like my last, I'll be adding a "Carfax loss" amount to any settlement I make with the insurance company. Last time I settled for full repairs with OEM parts at BMW (some dope rear-ended me at a stoplight). Little did I know that thanks to Carfax the value of my car dropped by $5k at

This is an excellent article. I’ve been considering the same issue as my plans to sell my hpuse and move aboard my sailboat coalesce. Imposing on a friend has been my plan so far, but if I can avoid that with this strategy I’d greatly prefer it.

Those side airbag jackets were sold as an optional accessory.

You must have missed the decades when "Christian" churches were powerful proponents of racial discrimination. Same shit, different minority.

They did say it will include LSD.

Very informative. I've struggled for years choosing between vaginas with "good, rich flavor" and "mild, smooth taste." I had no idea that smokers were facing the same dilemma.

I sure hope the Rooskies at the fly-in hotel speak Esperanto!
