So put the douche in NASCAR and call it an afternoon?

Selling a 2019 CRV and I’m glad you mentioned this.  Carvana just offered $1500 more than the local dealer did.  Have to drive it 90 miles to do it but it’s worth it.

Neat! Still not seeing the practicality on the day to day operation of the thing.

Just think of the fun interior colors you could get in the 80's. Greens, reds, blues, browns, plaid, anything you could think up on a coke binge they’d print and slap in something that would age worse than warm milk.

I love the articulation. Another method would be to have a second glass lens in the top of the housing so when the tailgate is folded down you still get the light from the bulb.

Every self serve gas station around here has a sticker on each pump that says "sound horn for assistance" so if you can't pump your own gas someone will (eventually) come out and help you. The better places will do this quickly and efficiently. Some... Not so much. 

You can get an Econoline for a third of the price that will last forever and can be fixed by anyone with parts stocked in every town for pennies and if something does go wrong you can find another one and buy it and STILL BE AHEAD.  Same applies for the Chevy Express if that’s your preferred flavor brand.

You remember that ICP song where they go “F**king magnets, how do they work” I feel they were involved in this.

From the outside that looks like a “well over 100K miles” car. The inside is nice enough but those hold up pretty well. I wonder if there is documentation to support the mileage claim or how hard it would be to roll one of those back.

Lots of different driving styles on display here.  A couple Jeremy Clarkson approaches and a couple who modulated the throttle nicely and limited the speed of wheelspin.

It is a bit of a gut punch that in January no one mentioned to you that there was a dark cloud on the horizon. Speaking from the tech sector the writing was fully dried on the wall by then. I had warned clients of shortages starting in November for items not limited to silicon. I had hoped that would be cleared up by

The domestic manufacturing argument is more complex than just investing in US manufacturing capacity. There are a huge number of things we simply can’t or won’t make here because there is no workforce that would do the job for the wages necessary to be competitive, or the byproducts of producing the items outweighs

Just don’t leave it on the shifter when you’re not shifting. Armrest with it at hand is fine.

If you want to have fun find a used ship broker and peruse the listings. They will list oil and grease capacities onboard.

HP is really the number that matters in marine applications. Sure the torque figures are probably high but in all applications it’s HP that pushes you forward as you’re spinning a propeller in fluid torque just doesn’t come into it.

No top, No Dice.

The boat really has to be designed to have all the weight hanging off the back end too. Some companies do a great job with that, some don’t.

That is one expensive f**k up.

Yup my money says it was the big Merc just by the cowl shape.
