Interesting. I'd never heard of that in Utica, but apparently in Albany it's a thing.
I'll never understand upstate.

A bad burger is just the absolute worst.

Since automotive photography isn't my main source of income, I travel much lighter. I'll be covering Chicago's Media Day with a Nikon D3000 and an 18-270 lens. I carried three lenses last year and spent almost as much time changing I'm still wavering on whether or not the tripod makes the drive with me.…

I'm just mad I can't dig up the McD's "Beef Wennington" ad from way back.

Little Kid - YOU'RE Bill Wennington!
Bill Wennington - ...

I have no idea what he said. Point is, during the Chicago Bulls Jordan years, even Wennington got a sammich named after him.

I'm also thinking of the added drag as well as the driver trying to speed up, slow down, stomp on brakes, move steering wheel. With all of those movements in slippery and bad conditions, wouldn't that somehow translate to the truck driver? And also using one's rear view mirror and maybe even seeing a possible swerving…

I know he's old because of the nwu.edu email domain. (I had one, too.)

Craggs should have been on staff just about the time Evil Dave Sheldon came to power in the Associated Student Government.

Um ...that's all I've got.

Please, Drew, make this a thing.

Doctors should let patients talk for 20 minutes to explain a problem? That moves you from a 99212 (medical billing code for 5-min office visit) to a 99214 (code for 25-minute office visit). The physician gets to see fewer patients and each patient gets billed a higher amount. Inefficient for the doctor and costly for…

Just jumping on this in case someone's not quit clear. Esmerelda is 100% right - this is high-siding. The basic idea is that while skidding, the front wheel is turned 90 degrees to either direction (relative to the rear wheel). This is no different from what you would do in a car.

However, when the rear wheel regains…

I'm hoping these kids actually read those books.

Who the hell hasn't watched Tombstone?
No one, that's who.

Good lord this is FANTASTIC.

Also, I live in northern Illinois and pass untold numbers of XXX Deaths on the Highway This Year signs when driving the highways and byways. I understand your frustration.

This. All day this. This is why - I assume - I am sleeping on the couch.

Every time I wear my leotard and Dockers to a bar, they escort me out. Quickly.

Your wife is a terrible person.

Sorry you had to hear it, but it's better that you know the truth.

Who the hell DOESN'T recognize him?

So ...regular Chong Li?

Gone Girl, which I have read but not seen. If the movie's anything like the book, I think we're in for the feel-good romance of the century.

Thank you for this. I'm currently two-and-change months into my own car expense exercise and it's been interesting, to say the least.

In Oct 2014, I got a 2008 Audi S6 with 52k on the clock. I paid for the 2nd-best used warranty (24 mo, 24k miles). I drive it 50+ miles a day as a daily commuter car. It gets shit…
