Maybe it’s working in an engineering office mostly staffed by asocial males, but I can’t fathom having that issue with hugging and kissing in the workplace. What makes people think that is acceptable?

I’m an engineer and can’t stay sane on the job unless I use up my vacation days (1/3 of which I purchase each year).

It amazes me that BMW has the process controls tight enough to know exactly which VIN had the issue. Most other industries would have let this slide until it caught fire then run around in circles trying to figure out how many more units were affected.

Memphis Belle moment, just go into one hell of a dive to put the engine fire out.

That reminds me of the scene in Spaceballs with all of the crew alternating between holding their crotches and saluting.

Shhh... You’re not supposed to use logic and experience to refute the nannies. Their business model falls apart without panic and overreaction.

The kind of people writing these reports would likely scoff at $10/minute for their work, much less $10/hour. Consulting is the way to go as an engineer.

I don’t feel like there’s much you can do while buying a car that’s shadier than the dealer itself... I can’t imagine walking into one of those places as the average less than educated customer.

Wow... Didn’t realize how much I lucked out when Avis gave me a Hemi Charger for the 2 weeks I was in LA. Just happy my company picked up the gas tab...

I guess that’s why so many of those tow company asswipes carry guns, they’d need one to try to tow a ‘78 911 away from me...

Dansk has been buying up VW and Porsche factory tooling and making rust repair panels for many years now. I don’t think their end game is to produce cars, they just want to show off how comprehensive their product line is.

I don’t really think it’s disturbing, as a mechanical test engineer who is often prodded to break ethical standards. I simply refuse, regardless of the arguments in favor of cheating. In my job, I perform the test to the best of my abilities, document the results as I see them, and put it on the record as pass or…

I’ve heard the same message when calling certain state offices here in SC. Having traveled through the state’s more rural areas, it’s not entirely shocking.

Wow... Bye bye air-cooled Porsche dream...

At least he had the decency to use his own suitcase.

It’s almost the 21st century equivalent of a stoning. Orders of magnitude less emotionally scarring than what the survivor will deal with throughout her life, but effective nonetheless. Jail let him hide from the accusing stares, now he gets to face them from his bedroom window.

I deleted the phone list on my last rental when I picked it up but forgot to delete my own phone when I left. As mentioned, it really is a rushed process returning a car...

Someone forgot to tell that driver it’s not a contest.

That line stopped working years ago, around the same time as “innocent until proven guilty."

Real winner yelling at her like that over a Honda worth less than the average car payment...
