1st gear: I’m hoping this entirely stupid tread finally starts to die a quick death. People who drive massive pick ups deserve our pity and laughter. Not only do they look like idiots cosplaying as some sad version of a “tough guy”, driving these things is torture. Just this weekend I was in a parking garage and had

Came here to say the same. Just back from east central Africa and these things are EVERYWHERE. I spent the last 10 days in one doing over 60mph over heavily grated dirt roads for hours on end every day. I thought the thing should have rattled itself apart by day 2 but it just kept going and going without missing a

I rarely comment on stuff but have to agree with the others. This is an excellent comment 

Same here... for now. Rivian is a good example. A friend of mine has the pick up and loves everything about it EXCEPT their native screen. Rivian also insists on controlling all the technology so no projection is available. He hates it and it’s why I won’t get a Rivian, as much as I like them otherwise. 

I haven’t tried it with bourbon, but brandy is sweeter while keeping some of that smokey flavor. Hope it works out! 

Pro-tip: adding a tiny bit of brandy to the dough (with a splash of vanilla) takes chocolate chip cookies to another level.

NYE has always been my favorite holiday because it’s international and not-religious. (Thanksgiving is a close second). But since about 1990 I’ve done it in a different city every year and it’s been amazing. Sometimes it’s wild, sometimes mellow, but always somewhere new.

This is exactly the right reply. Thank you. 

IDK if this will ever be truly real and actual cars will actually ship, but I was by their showroom yesterday and the place was full of people checking them out.

How did this not make the list? Mercedes GT is one of the best driver-focused interiors I’ve ever had the pleasure to drive.

If you look at the front left fender, it also seems to have a weird, blocky turn light on it, which makes me think this is a special use vehicle at the airport. Maybe a traffic-control type thing.

I think, I don’t know, the assumption is that spinning is much harder on pedals because of the constant hard riding, be it really fast intervals or hard, heavy climbs, and less the elements

Trade it all in for this

Just a quick frustration with this take: you want the keys to be spaced out more but also want a top row of function keys? Where, pray tell, is the space supposed to come from and still fit within the confines of the iPad footprint? You also mentioned that the track pad is small - so making that smaller still isn’t an

Thats pure wonderful.

Jalop’s writers are on to something big if they keep at it: this is a tax avoidance scheme that rich folk use to fund a race car and get to write off the whole endeavor as “marketing” for a made up company. They only produce enough product and collateral to make it seem legit, but make no mistake, this is so

1st gear: American trucks are hot garbage.

Oh man my neighbor had one of these when I was a kid in the 1980s: fire engine red just like in the pics above. He LOVED that car - washed it every weekend in the driveway. I could never remember what it was called - so thanks for the recall. 

True (sad) story: my neighbor just bought one of these.

Interesting. I drive an RRS for a few years now with said heated windshield and can’t say I’ve experienced signal issues either in urban or rural environments (where those rural environments have cell towers, anyway).
