For what it's worth, I *specifically* despise the "Stuff that guys like..." line, and cringe every time I hear it. In the canon of automotive campaigns, the whole "real people" schtick is awful and patronizing, and this article is spot-on. Hate away, boyo!

Ummm, I'm pretty sure you meant "Da bomb"...

As someone who has been victimized by and suffered random, catastrophic losses because of drunk drivers on two separate occasions, I endorse this sentiment. Unfortunately, the cosmos works in stupidly random ways.

PSN- the online network that forces you into updates for *something* every other time you turn it on, makes you wait 10-15 minutes to download a 100MB file, and god forbid you want to watch the "latest hit!" movie tonight, if you didn't start downloading that shit yesterday afternoon...

I've followed this story since the first film, and it's always been clear to me that anyone who thought these boys were guilty is a world class, grade-A moron. I'm in for a copy of the book without even reading the excerpt, because no one deserves to have gone through that, and I'm just glad you're all out, whatever…

I actually submitted a claim for pothole damage to IDOT (Illinois Department of Tranportation) a couple of years ago. They eventually responded with a really quite brilliant Catch-22; they weren't liable if no one had reported the pothole prior to my filing a claim.

Wow, yes. "2017" was indeed an awesome and compelling experience. "Insect Armageddon"- which I anticipated with great fervor- I traded in under a week. Such a disappointment, but if it appears they've returned to form, I might try the series again...

Well, since you asked- I do powder coating in my garage, and am trying to make it a stand alone business. To that end, I busted my ass for the past two months working on the car (a 2007 Civic Si); here's the engine bay, everything blue/yellow I powder coated.

OMG thank you thank you thank you!

Absolutely guilty as charged, and then some.

Thanks- I have done nothing for the past two months but work on that car, I do powder-coating at home, and was going to 'show' the car in two weeks... now she's likely totaled (estimate was at 10k+, there's also front-end damage), and I have a much better understanding of the meme "this is why we can't have nice…

The plate of the drunk/impaired asshole clownshoe manchild that rammed me, not so much.

I always obscure my plate in photos, like this shot from this very Monday on my way home from work...

I had just put a passel of freshly powder-coated part on my Si, and went for a test drive with a bunch of my son's friends in tow, just making sure everything was buttoned down. I was getting on it a little on a "50" posted road, but backed off as I approached the limit (and a known speed trap).

Another explanation (that was actually posted in an article here) is that there are so many minor mishaps and fender benders on the roads which lead to "rage-a-hol" induced physical altercations, but in the Russian court system hearsay evidence- and even bruises and witness testimony- is rarely enough to get bad guys…

In the 'Dollars to Deliciousness' ratio, chicken thighs are this otherwise cold, cruel universe's most awesome byproduct. You can ask Neil Degrass Tyson, he'll tell you the same.

Pssst... there're rumors of "a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 of indeterminate power output". It's likely not a CAFE thing, but rather a CASH thing. Insane power's an option, if you can afford it.

Had me, right up to the part about the "story-driven campaign inspired by the novel 'Atlas Shrugged' by Ayn Rand..."

Also quite handy, their "SteelStick" product. It comes in a tube, like a twinkie, with one part wrapped around another, and you knead it like playdoh. I wanted to powder-coat my hood prop rod, but the upper end is plastic and wouldn't survive 400 degrees. Cool thing was that I could then PC the brass nipple an…

I will personally guarantee it *was* released in 1978, as that was when I played it.
