he may have bought his gun in a face to face transaction from a legal gun owner (or at a “gun show”). there is no federal law requiring background checks for these transactions (or in most states, and it is easy to travel to a state with no such law).

requiring universal background checks with felony punishment for…

the lede photo of a Mustang II is a pretty terrible choice for this QOTD. it was probably one of the best looking and functioning cars of its era, let down by terrible motors.

take that car (or better yet the ‘76 king cobra II in all its glory) and drop in a modern ecoboost 2.0 or 2.3 and a 5 speed and it would be a…

NASCAR recently had a problem where teams were getting around the tire pressure rules by drilling tiny pinholes in their rims (sealed with a low temp wax) or tire sidewalls so that while sitting on the rack and not getting flexed/heated they held pressure and once on the moving car they would slowly lose pressure…

I look forward to the 18" tires mainly because other companies than Pirelli will be willing to bid on the tire contract. there isn’t a whole lot of direct tech transfer between 13" F1 tires and modern 18-21" street tires, and so most companies took a hard pass on F1 and went to endurance racing or Indy who were using…

the RB and AM cars are about as different as 2 F1 cars can be..  the RB is the epitome of bleeding edge high rake aero with massive money ensuring every air molecule goes exactly the right place.  the AM is a cheap knock off of the 2019 Merc, long wheelbase, low rake and (relatively) less sophisticated air management.

they are still using (basically) the same construction as 3 years ago, because the teams rejected the newer tires last year and this year they are saving money for next year.

all the floor cutout and defuser strake aero reg changes were put in place to enable the use of 3 year old tires designed for lower levels of…

which is exactly what they used to do, then the FIA introduced new rules about tire blanket and wheel heater temps.

these rules are far, far to sensible. that being the case I will continue to flip up the aisle armrest, kick my leg out across the aisle, intimidate the passenger in the bitch seat (aka the hump chump) into giving up the armrest, and then recline before takeoff fall asleep snoring loudly, wake up a few times and make…

why didn’t they adjust the steering ratio appropriately? motorcycles do just fine with 1:1 steering ratios....

no. just no.

stop trying to make this generation of chrysler products happen. they were _all_ garbage cars. even if this were $2k fuckit money this would be a no.

at $4200 you can get something much newer and/or much nicer.

for instance, a 2011 impreza for $3300, which at 202kmiles I would trust more than a chrysler with…

wooo, 16 times he’s faced charges. and yet somehow he is both: still not shot by cops and still not in prison on 3 strikes....

I wonder why.

if only meth heads worked half as hard at working as they do at stealing shit to feed their monkey

how about a new Maverick with the AWD?  that’s about 23k.

the total base model in white with a receiver hitch is the lawn care contractor’s dream truck.
seats for the whole crew, enough tow capacity (2K) for a light weight trailer, a rider and 2 push mowers, enough bed for your rakes and shovels and bags of lawn debris and I’m sure ladder racks will be available day 1.

don’t worry, there will be a bronco version along sometime soon.  it is too easy and too profitable not to.  also, for sure the aftermarket will make grill kits and tailgate overlays to broncofy it.

at 220,000 miles, I am still getting 22 highway at 72MPH out of my pre-cylinder deactivation pilot. I would expect 22-24 out of a new ridgeline with VCM disabled (can you do that easily? is it just a switch on the dashboard?)

it’s about $28k with AWD/Ecoboost/tow pack minimum.

the 4000 tow rating requires ecoboost _and_ AWD _and_ the tow package, bringing the price up to about $28k including destination charges, $31k if you want the XLT which is about on par with the base ridgeline in features... your gas mileage also drops to about the same as the ridgeline in this configuration.

all…

That’s amazing!  Imagine how hard that must have been for the ancient celts to do when all they had was an old morris minor....

Philip’s ship took heavy, continuous bombardment during the invasion of italy, many members of the crew died or were injured.

Andrew (though a human shitstain) didn’t have control over what missions he flew, or ask for special treatment. it was actually the british press who threw hissy fits about “what if he dies in…
