The question of whether vaping is smoking is up to the party making the rules, whether that is a restaurant or an airline, not the vaper. The problem is the person who knows better than the host of the establishment what is and isn’t smoking, and insists on violating the rules in that environment, as if there is some…

If someone were to figure out how to make the stock drivetrain 4x4

You can vape with no visible exhalation just as easily.

Fun fact about the Tiger: The opening of the TV spy satire show Get Smart! would always start with Maxwell Smart driving up to Control headquarters in a sports car before going through the multiple sets of doors that secured the operation. The first two seasons he drove a Tiger, but was downgraded to lesser sports…

The only advantage that I could see would be during inclement weather. Having the car pull up under a portico could be nice if it’s raining hard, or if the ground is snow covered.

I would bet this has more to do with people talking on their phones than singing to music

Waiting three years makes me think there’s something more to this story than either party is admitting.

It’s the Pinto story all over again. There’s a spreadsheet maintained in accounting that kept showing it was cheaper to resist settling individual claims. But now some of the assumptions in that spreadsheet turn out to be wrong.

$22K, though, for the 33 year-old Caravan? A car that only existed in South America? That’s some very specific nostalgia there, and I love me a shooting brake.

I, for one, did love this version of the Vega. I’m a sucker for a nice shooting brake, and this was the nicest example available in the US at the time. I never had one, though, so I can’t say anything about how they actually functioned. The closest I came was a friend that drove a clapped out Vega coupe for a while,…

But despite what the title says, this isn’t Tag. To play Tag would require that one person be It, and the others get a set amount of time to take off before It would pursue and try to catch them. This would require something like the other players having to follow a set route through cities that It knows of, and then…

Exactly. There is no trolley problem logic, simply decisions based on perceptions of mass and movement. And there’s not going to be an evaluation of dog vs. coyote vs. raccoon, simply whether the greater risk is to hit something or swerve.

NEVER, EVER, EVER SCAN A QR CODE IN THE WILD!

I think that there is still real value in names like Chrysler or Pontiac, but nothing worth the price tag that would be asked. There’s probably more potential in reviving an older brand for luxury cars, like Packard. The brand would come cheaper, and there’s less baggage related to shitty vehicles sold within buyers’…

It’s not so much idiocy as religion. We were founded by religious fanatics who believed in providence, the notion that good outcomes for people was the result of God’s favor, and bad outcomes were the result of moral failings. As a result, we revere the wealthy without thinking enough about how they became wealthy,…

My guess is that the Heritage Foundation told Trump to pick him, much like they told him who to nominate to the SC. And Trump doesn’t really care about anything other than himself, and just went along with it.

But it’s still magically worth billions, because Wall Street is run by chimps.

His behavior makes me think PCP. That kinda shit will age you fast.
