Better question... How is an ice hotel a good idea for a SUMMER vacation? Even though these are built in very northern latitudes, these all melt in spring and are rebuilt in winter. 

And the cost of moving is now exacerbated even further by a new mortgage potentially several points higher than what you currently have! We refinanced our small home in Encinitas last year, and with the current market/rates/taxes we’re probably staying put for a quite while... But there are worse places to be!

One item to add: some tires have asymmetrical tread patterns... not to be confused with directional. These are usually ultra high performance, with fewer sipes (tread gaps) on the outside edge, for more rubber contact during hard cornering. These will be labeled with ‘outside’ in the side that goes out, obviously!

You would think a successful lawyer would realize the huge liability he’s exposing himself to by parking this on the street. It’s not street legal, is much wider that a car, weighs far more than any car, is painted dark green and has no reflectors (the cones could easily be removed). If left there, somebody will…

Before you close escrow (i.e. “spend a lot of money on real estate”) you’re given copies of the CC&R’s and R&R’s... don’t like them? Buy elsewhere.

“ The big three you mentioned, LA/SD/SF, have had air quality problems for a long time and they are only a bit better now thanks to the higher emissions standards they have created thus far.”

“Are you paying ~$15,000-20,000+ in mortgage interest a year?”

“For volume brands, your “custom order” is actually very rarely a custom order in the sense that a car on the line has a build sheet printed on it that says “bob’s car.” Instead, your order is matched against a car that was already being built anyway, you’re just ensuring it gets sent directly to your dealer rather…

The HOA is comprised of the homeowners; as stated that would be suing yourself! They might have a case against a management company, if paying the prop tax was the responsibility of a contracted 3rd party.

AC works just fine if the car’s not moving... The motor must be running for the AC compressor to cool the air of-course, but it works just fine at a stop, because the car has FANS!

Agree totally.. In certain conditions, (very little rain falling, but lots of wet/dirty/slushy road) the rear glass on a hatchback, wagon, minivan or boxy SUV gets completely covered and totally impossible to see out of! This is not an issue in a traditional 3-box sedan, where the trunk keeps the rear window from…

Have you seen the news lately? Car on pedestrian accidents in the US have been increasing dramatically, up significantly in 2016. Cell phone usage is the assumed cause (from both driver and pedestrian).

I know, but I simply provided a possible answer to your question: “what feature is keeping the engine behind the axle in the 911.”

the backseat?

“Edd is a shade-tree mechanic returning cars to stock ”

We did it to Iran’s centrifuges.

I’ve never had one, and for the most part think they’re pretentious. But this one cracks me up.

Bullshit! I’m usually one of the faster drivers on the road, never hold up the passing lane, and I get tailgaited all the time. On SoCal freeways there’s usually heavy traffic in all lanes and you can’t go any faster then the car in front of you. That doesn’t stop impatiant idiots from riding my ass at 60+ mph when…

Did you mean throttle-less intake? Multiair still has camshafts actuating the intake valves, just through hydraulics to provide throttling:

Sleep cycles can vary from 70 min to 120 min. A device that monitors body, eye or breathing movements and time wake time has merit, but any app that tries to time your wake-up time based on a fixed 90 min interval is utterly useless and BS pseudo-science.
