I love that this is "DONKEY KONG" with the "DONK" in a different color. This one seems legit.

Assuming you have like $200 a month for gas/insurance/maintenance/etc, this is really hard. Your upper limit for purchase price is probably around $2-3k.

Seriously. Subtract some income taxes and you probably have a cool 1k a month. $500 for rent with a roommate and $300 for expenses, including a cell phone and some not-so-nutritious food. $200 left over. You need to get a car and be able to fuel it.

My parents both had coupes until there were almost four of us children. It's not that bad unless car seats don't fit.

If they didn't do this as an offset impact, the Volvo would have fared better than the Renault.

I see this being the spinners of the future.

You should see a "stock" 1/10th RC race (mod/open is even more mind-blowing). These look like toy cars in comparison.

And here I thought it was the moisture in your breath that helped, or perhaps the acid removing the corrosion from the contacts.

In comparison to Japan, labor in the US is cheap. So, in reality, this is just the Japanese being efficient by having parts produced close to assembly plants and exploiting cheap labor as close as possible to the point of consumption. It's uniquely-efficient. The German companies do it, too, but they act more like the…

This is the first 0.0 sticker I've seen in the wild. Nice find.

1) Wages are stagnant, if not falling, for most Americans.

By the time highways are full of these automated cars, you won't be able to afford the insurance to manually drive a car on public streets.

I once melted two pairs of decent-quality rollerblades by towing my brother at fairly high speeds on them with my car over a freeway overpass. He thought it was awesome, jumped in, and we drove off. About 30 seconds later we smell burning plastic and see that the bearings got so hot they melted the "tracks" and some…

Seriously. If someone gave me a car and said, "If you can roll this car on a surface street within the Boston metro area just by driving, I'll give you $1M.", I'd end up losing.

I think this is common to the entire northeast. Ever seen a Maine-iac? It all seems to either concentrate in or diffuse from the NYC-Boston region.

They weigh so little you probably could have flipped it back on the wheels with the assistance of the guy in the truck. I could have then pulled you out with anything I have ever owned with wheels.

While the total rainfall is not that high, the number of days with precipitation and overcast skies is much higher. You might go weeks or months on end with a relentless light rain during which you will never see the sun. This could only amount to 1-3 inches a week, but the way it constantly comes down (and drips)…
