There is a way to improve. It's called 2-person cockpit rule. It's mandatory in US, why the fuck it wasn't mandatory in Europe is beyond me. Any airline safety rule that one country enacts, should be mandatory in all countries. When it comes to air safety, countries need to stop their bitching and agree on rules and…
Bland styling is a sure sign that the economy is improving.
Oh, no no no no no. I know Excel inside and out, and it gets you is all the highly paid engineers, architects, and planners insisting that you do their work. And remember, don't complain because they are the real moneymakers for the company and you are oh-so-easily replaceable. I have made it a very serious point to…
"Can you help me with my resume?"
Do you miss big vans like this mini van that's significantly smaller than its modern minivan counterparts?
But... VTEC can kick in, yo. The old ones literally just switched on all at once. Example: Oh hi I'm a '97 Civic Si, just responsibly getting good fuel economy over here, hey wait 4500...5000...BWWAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FU HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Anything that can make Yelp useless, I'm behind 100% When you can be a shit dick in a restaurant and still get treated like royalty because you might leave a bad Yelp review, there are some problems.
This is good advice.
I dunno, seems like they were doing things the right way. They had a need for a vehicle with certain characteristics, they *saved the cash,* didn't go further into debt, and bought a car on the private, used market. None of those decisions sounds particularly unsound to me. In fact, if they had come on Jalopnik and…
I have a theory about people who become wildly successful/famous on the level that Steve has achieved: their relationship with their past, pre-fame and success, is an either or proposition. Either they embrace it. Or they shed it like a snake sheds its skin, leaving it in the middle of the road, to dry up and blow…
Getting confused and accidentally tapping into one car... even that's not really 'allowable' from a safety standpoint. But NINE cars??? He probably did closer to $30k in damage. Just replacing the unpainted plastic bumper skin and a fog light on my Xterra was $1k from a 3 mph hit. Looking at all the sheet metal damage…
Russell Kerr was behind the wheel of his Chrysler Pacifica (of course) when he panicked, pinned the gas to the ground and smashed into the 9 cars, two of which had people inside.
How could the be deemed an accident? The first crash, sure, he hit the gas instead of the brake, but then instead of stopping, he made a conscious decision to shift back into reverse, backs up, stops, shifts into drive again, and goes off hitting everything. Those are very bad decisions, but clearly not accidental.
Pinned the throttle? He backed up and took a second run at it!? I'd be in frickin jail.
