In the immortal words of the Batman: “I would have called you sooner Commissioner, but I had nothing to report.”

The Sambar gets my vote. It reminds me of a Safari Minibus. It’s a great looking van!

With delays like these, you'd think Tesla is completely changing the transportation paradigm worldwide. 

Nicely done Mr. Morris. Are the t-shirts real? I have a few idiot relatives who’d wear them.

This is what happens when GM truck designers see the Tesla Cybertruck and suddenly realize the designs they’ve been working on for years are just minor variations of decades old crap.

What’s next, a delivery van racing series?

That boot looks a lot like a “personal massage device” a girlfriend of mine had. Even the color is similar.

I like this idea. If the DOT guys aren’t looking to meet an arrest quota by searching cars and checking outstanding warrants, everybody is safer. And I assume the DOT people won’t be packing, which greatly reduces the chances of somebody getting shot.

I am stunned to learn that in America, a corporation did not prioritize the health and safety of its workers over stockholder value and profit.

They called it “counter to counter” service. A networking company I worked with would use it to same-day deliver small switches and routers, or media that was too large to use file transfer. It cost $80 to send a switch from Miami to Atlanta on Delta.

Their baby will be named “Placenta.” 

I worked at KSC in the LCC from STS-2 through Challenger. Although the hardware was imperfect, the organizations supporting it were deeply flawed. If an organization like SpaceX had been running the project, the outcome would have been very different.

The color I notice most lately is the matte concrete gray that’s so popular now. I see it on everything from Kias to BMWs. I'd love to read an analysis of what makes wet concrete a popular color. 

He must have  been trying to get back to the pits before he got lapped.

I don’t think forward controls were an option for BMW given the cylinder location. The heat on your shins, which will be located directly behind the cylinders may be an issue.

A working Trash-80 and “Tris-DOS? Holy shit that’s amazing.
