Shade tree mechanic culture. I grew up with a father that rebuilt cars to resell them. We had almost a full shop. Friends and relatives would all come over to get work done, especially when we picked up a used tire changer.

Sounds like Mr. Kazemi can’t drive.

Yea, when I grew up I had to assemble everything myself unless I was under the age of 3 or something. I built a bike by myself when I was around 7 or 8. I put together a train set when I was maybe 9 or 10. I can’t recall my parents helping me with building anything when I was little.

We keep proving over and over again that we cannot build our way out of congestion. Atlanta is the biggest example I am aware of. They spent hundreds of millions to build ‘future-proof’ highways a short time ago & they are congested & deadly as ever today. If you build it they will drive.

Going to call a big old pile of BS there. My brothers and I are not that far apart in ages, and there’s a huge difference in parenting between the firstborn and everything after.

Dang kids these days...

Because the grip of the tires on the road are the limiting factor in an emergency stop. There’s pretty much nothing on the road that can’t lock up the wheels if you mash the brake pedal at highway speed.

Halfa Romeo. Dur.

I’m glad they’re doing away with Celebrity Brain Crash and The American. They both got extremely old and repetitive after the first two episodes and to be honest I never liked Star In A Reasonably Priced Car either. I almost always skipped it because it felt like a filler to make the show longer.

Not even an RS owner, but man this is quite the in-depth article and a great read. Thank you.

Frustrating. I can only view the video this Sunday, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!!!

That entire video was cringe worthy.

And this is a surprise how?

Did you complain about when it happened? Did this writer? If not, then don’t complain about this. I agree with you that prior bad acts don’t condone current bad acts but don’t act like this is something new that has never happened before and feign outrage. If you or the writer complained about the example I provided,…

Thanks to a panel-wide misunderstanding of Asian geography and some nimble betting work, he won.

The first thing the reporter said got me going.

Find an engineer, any engineer, and kiss them. This is what engineers yield when safety is a higher priority than cost-cutting.

Snippit of the radio comms:

He saw a crime and reported a crime. Sounds like what people should do. Cops can prioritize as necessary. Seems wrong to assume the looters were all just trying to feed their starving children, as opposed to hitting the pharmacy or other non necessities. And how do we know the food was about to go bad, or about to…

<shrug> If the tax law is still adhered to - no matter how despicably low in relation to earlings the payment is - then I don’t see anything to get excited about. You can argue that he’s claiming credits from 1995 till you’re blue in the face, but if it’s legal, then why shouldn’t he claim it?
