Horses aren’t cars, they’re motorcycles with legs.

So you’re saying if I want a ripe avocado, all I need is an avocado that’s already ripe?  You should be careful, people have been killed for secrets like this.

Pinstriping?  This is a lower back tattoo.  It’s the first Porsche with a tramp stamp.

Oh my god I just realized that’s Jane Krakowski!

You just know someone in the police field is developing a gun that looks like a wallet... that will make it SO much easier for them to shoot a suspect when they reach for their ID after being ordered to produce their ID.

Yeah it’s a cool project but he really made a MUCH larger PS5 in 2 pieces with hoses connecting them.

Last rental I needed was an insurance-provided replacement while a car was in for repair. I reserved an SUV because it’s my dog vehicle.

Reading the comments here, the Supra is the definition of polarizing - people absolutely love it or they absolutely hate it.

The problem is, the Supra’s styling is so polarizing, the only people who seem to be buying them are hard core enthusiasts.  It’s not like a Z4 or 3-series coupe that a lot of non-sports-car buyers will pick up just because “it’s cute” or “it looks sporty.”  Once you exclude the casual buyers, the small engine starts…

I’m sure GOOP sells some manner of... insertable... sun lamp?

We’re not just talking about randomly wealthy Russians; we’re talking about oligarchs who are both rich and deeply entrenched highly influential political figures.

Yep.  And learning a lot quickly is difficult, just like climbing a STEEP mountain is more difficult than climbing one that has a more gradual slope.

I used their planning software to lay out my kitchen and THEN visited a store; spent about 40 minutes with a designer there who spotted some under-the-skin issues that needed to be corrected and made sure I had some non-obvious hardware and connectors, eliminated some extra items the planner put into my order, and…

Yes, when I did my kitchen through IKEA (full DIY job) I also priced through a large contractor friend and at THEIR (essentially wholesale) prices I would have still paid nearly double Ikea price for the same kitchen and still been MDF boxes. It was another 40-50% more on top of that to get to plywood construction.

“I’d be fine with a bunch of cheap houses, as long as they’re each custom designed and distinctive and have nice big well-manicured yards, and look like they were built 100 years ago so they fit in to the neighborhood. Why can’t anyone do that?”

The whole “racing” inspired design makes no sense at all, as evidenced by the fact that they all come with pillows strapped to them since the design is inherently wrong for sitting upright at a desk.

The rental agency I worked with listed it as a 7-passenger SUV... it naturally only had seats for 5, and packed a 1-Liter engine. I think you could pull a pop-up camper behind it if you didn’t try to take it up hills.

I rented a Duster in Turkey and I can confirm that even a steep cobblestone street is right about at the limits of its off-road capability.  

The dynamometer test makes ZERO sense, unless the dyno is imposing a simulated road load, which would substitute for wind resistance. Once it’s up to speed otherwise it’s just a big flywheel, so the car’s doing no work except overcoming drivetrain losses. And that ONLY extended its “range” by about 10% compared to a…
