Side effect of the recession: When the pinch came, many of those pinched stepped down a notch in the economic game. For those at the bottom, there wasn’t anywhere to step.

Eventually it would. I mean, do we really need complicated infotainment and “connected car” features? You look at the configurators at various manufacturer’s sites, to get just a few of the options you’d like, you’re forced to accept other packaged features that you don’t need. In no time you’ve priced yourself out of…

How is a truck ‘foolish’?

AUTOPILOT IS JUST CRUISE CONTROL. FOR FUCKS SAKE PEOPLE.

PRESS CHARGES. PLEASE!!!! PRESS CHARGES!

Well, that deep metallic is a way better red than the shitty flat Protonic Red that BMW offers.

That actually doesn’t look half bad. She actually made the car look as special as it is technologically. Take notes BMW! Nobody wants to keep buying cars in varying shades of silver/black/blue forever and ever.

Get rid of Eddie Jordan, and have Harris and Sabine compete against Matt and Rory. Comedy gold there.

Counterpoint - if a manufacturer is making limited edition cars that can be flipped right away by the buyer for a profit, then the manufacturer didn’t charge enough for them to begin with.

Read the text near the end. The people in the white house did.

Were there any cyclists involved, preferably ones resembling Eric Idle?

The company and the product was a cluster, but it is so dang pretty... I hope someone can make a real car out of that design. I don’t care if it is hybrid, electric, an LS crate or a 1641cc VW with dual Kadrons powering it. I just want to see more of them on the road and smile.

Yep. I’ve also noticed that a disproportionate number of union bashers drive vehicles built by the most heavily unionized workforce in the world, Germans.

Isn’t it Sweden like the most progressive country on those issues? Granted the sources I read from might have been biased against Sweden (one was a response to a Swedish ambassador being quite harsh to there host nation). Honest question though because my impression was that sexual assault was taken quite seriously in…

The reason most motors fail after as little as 200,000km is that owners regularly forget to properly fill the oil. The correct fill level is to the top of the filler cap. Manufacturers put those guide marks on the dipstick to ensure drivers maintain enough oil so the engine keeps running, but not enough to allow it to…

White collar union worker here. I get shit all the time about it. Never to my face of course. People have no freaking clue what goes on behind the scenes in the education system.

Mariners fan here. That’s such a painful memory.

Rhubarb stalks are safe to eat (if sour as hell), but the leaves are toxic, so throw those out. The easiest preparation is to chop and stew into a sauce with a ton of sugar and a bit of water, then serve over vanilla ice cream. Way less effort than pie.

I feel a disturbance in the force, as if a million Sonics fans are all laughing at the same time.
