I wonder why the full Perspex bubble doors never became a thing? This looks like it came from the set of a Roger Corman movie.

Booting should be illegal. There are some cases where towing should be allowed, like an obviously abandon auto. If a car is sitting illegally parked for more than 24 hours, and the owner can’t be found, it should be towed.

For some reasons Nissans are a you-get-what-you-pay-for kinda thing. You’d be better off with a Ram or Ford. 

This is not a 60's Mercury Comet, but it has the same drivetrain, albeit with a bunch of smog stuff probably attached. I had a 200 thrift power in a Comet, and what it really needed was a 289. The 7-main bearing 200 and 250 are great, they’re just not going to do 200 horsepower without throwing some serious money at…

I don’t see why not, seeing as how they’re looking for avenues to make more money. The cars all have a computer, screen, internet connection, why not manage all the car stuff in an app in the car? I don’t need all these apps on my phone. 

“My inference was that he was getting nervous that Starlink’s involvement was increasingly seen in Russia as enabling the Ukrainian war effort, and was looking for a way to placate Russian concerns”

Subscriptions are the new corporate cash cow. What was the report last month? Streaming services made something like an extra $22 billion because people forgot to cancel after trial offers of channels they didn’t use.

“The Full Measure” sounds really inappropriate.

Well they’re all trying to out-conservative each other at this point. 

Lately it’s been Tesla Model 3 drivers, but there are still plenty of Nissans limping around with no exhaust, no lights, missing bumpers.

Caffeine and the “traction control off” setting is a bad combo.  

Soupy lake bed - this is the kind of whipped pea soup you find at the bottoms of lakes and lagoons. You can’t get an anchor to hold in it.

Didn’t used to be that way. I gave up on going once I heard they ended the “drive by shooting range”

They thought they could get out of that soup because they had a Wrangler. Turns out Wranglers don’t have special anti-soup abilities. That fucker dug itself in so deep that it’s probably going to need a back hoe to recover.

I’d rather hang out with dirty naked art freaks on acid for 2 weeks than NFL fans for 2 hours. Call me a snob. 

Currently steel making requires tons of pure oxygen and other gasses that are energy intensive to produce. BOF and EAF processes are meant to reduce the carbon from about 4% (cast iron) to under 1% (steel). Blowing the O2 through the molten iron decarburizes it, because the carbon bonds with oxygen and creates hot…

“Franke’s business partner and therapist Jodi Hildebrandt.”

I thought my childhood was traumatic. WTF. 

He aught to shut the hell up and not tank his company’s stock price again. The less he talks the better. Make the pickups simpler and cheaper. The R1T is supposed to get 35% cheaper to make by the end of year or something, which is good.

The EXP Turbo coupe had 120 horsepowers, but from only 97 cubic inches that wasn’t terrible. It was that era though, when horsepowers were pretty hard to come by in any displacement.
