My ass-hattery knows no confines.

I had an '81 280 ZX and that car was beautiful as it was - leaky t-tops and all. This just tears away a small part of my soul.

Poor Frank. It's a damn shame what she did to his dog...

"[Y]ou can visit his Menlo Park, N.J. laboratory at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Mich."

Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield. That's the movie.

When your wife says, "THAT'S FUCKING IT! YOU'RE GETTING A NEW CAR..." and storms out.

Yes.

I used to race, so I have a (few) relatively expensive bikes. One of my favorites I've used to commute with on and off for a while.

I'd be interested to see how this breaks down in relationship to CAFE standards and the ability of manufacturers to get tax credits, or lesser restrictions on more profit-friendly vehicles, like trucks and SUV's.

This POS needs to stay dead and gone.

I want your problems.

Mt. Washington Cog Railway. As well as the worlds worst weather, the mountain boasts the first cog railway, and the second steepest ascent by grade. It's awe-inspiring going up and pretty effing terrifying coming down.

Listen. Instead of thinking about what I should/want to say next, I listen. You'd be surprised how often it makes the uncomfortable social situation easier, and the person remembers you the next time they see you. It's a great networking tool, too.

I went to college at a small liberal-arts school in southern VA. Our president at the time was a retired three-star general with strong ties to the intelligence community.

Dammit. Of course I'd pull the one google image for a sniper with no clip... I guess your honda civic is toast now.

Operation Overwatch

There's a reason this is the most expensive (proportionally) car to ensure. Last time I checked, it cost 4.5 times as much to insure a Scion TC as it did anything else in it's class.

Lunar Rover... literally out of this world. There are probably more advanced concepts out there, but none of them made it to the surface of the moon.

I don't know that there is a right or a wrong way to speak to a cop. Hmmm. Let me rephrase. There are certainly things one should not say to the police... "Here piggy piggy" probably tops the list, but in terms of the best response? That depends on your read of the situation. I've definitely gotten out of tickets

The idea of 21 days is a bastardization of a piece of learning theory that suggests optimized habituation occurs on average after 21 trials. For instance, potty training a child may take on average 21 distinct repetitions of the desired behavior to form that habit. That doesn't mean it will take 21 days. It may take 7
