If you remember where the hammer is. If it is in the center console and not buried under it and you remember you have it and..

It’s a trade off. I’ve had my car window broken by thieves 3 times and I’ve needed to intentionally break a window to get out of a pond 0 times.

You just needed to know the right setting.

I don’t think this is a Boeing thing.

Modern Civics would do a lot better.  2002 Civics?   Not so much.  Back then, you paid less money and you took your chances with almost all manufacturers.  It wasn’t until the late 2000s that small cars would be recognizable as a car after most crash tests.

For the life of me, I can’t figure out why the obsession with re-inventing the gear shifter. The gear shifter as we know it basically is from the 1910s when they standardized the pedals. Stick on the steering column, dash or floor.

I think BMW started that years ago as a way to make it harder to break in and steal crap out of your car.  Now a spring loaded center punch won’t break the windows in a second.. but it’s harder to get people out of the vehicle if you need to.

I was taught a long time ago, that the head rest was how you got out of a car. The ends of the metal prongs that hold the headrest in position are pointy. Yank one out, slam the pointy end into the window.

As a rotund dude looking at vehicles that almost all have black leather seats, I was hopeful for a return of the swamp crotch vent.  I don’t want to get to the store feeling like I’ve got an Ikea Food court in my pants.

It’s actually is better for the plant

Dawn.

I don’t think he can get the words out.  He’s too damn shocked.

“Good!”

My wife is the same way.  She particularly likes the English Roses, which don’t grow straight to save their lives, but have a lot nice smell.

It’s not a good sign when Lauri from the Hydraulic Press Channel does something safer than you.

Meh, I nevar profread the post on Kinja. You got 15 minutes to edit and fix the smiepellings.

I’m not a fan of pumped storage. It works great in theory.. but in reality, it is so damn inefficient, it might be better just to send spare juice to big heaters on a hill and hope the resulting hot air will spin the wind turbines a bit more later.

I know that current European standards require a space between the hood and the hard bits in the car so the hood can flatten when someone lands on it and help cushion them.

Teenage boys bounce pretty good and shrug off injuries that would kill a guy in their 30s.  Even still, he was lucky as hell.  He was hit about 3 weeks in to the school term and came back in the last week using a can and hanging kitchen magnets on the back of his head and his shins as a party trick.  Seemed to be in…
