I’ve always felt that way. That beige Camry was once someone’s dream car. I hate to see any car destroyed, which is kinda why I own 5 cars, and why I’m currently investing $1500 to repair the heads on a ‘96 Aerostar I only paid $850 for.

A little off-topic, but I actually named my daughter after a ‘beautiful alien girl’ from a popular sci-fi show. This being the internet, I won’t post her name, but suffice to say, she’s the only person I’ve ever met with the name. And yeah, Evora is kinda awesome.

They may be painted, but those suckers are totally split. With an 8" pillar between, that totally obscures the rear view.

Have you ever driver a vehicle with the rear window open/missing? Trust me, they shield us from a lot of wind. That’s why modern convertibles often have special body designs or wind baffles to reduce the forward-moving winds.

I agree with this article 100%. I own a computer shop, and have calls from customers requesting repairs to their cheap inkjets constantly. If they do photo printing, I recommend a Brother Inkjet. Otherwise, it’s laser all the way. My parents have been using one for close to a decade with nary a single issue, and I’ve…

I can’t believe how close he came to tipping over, then landed upright. It reminded me of racing video games that flip you over automatically if it sees that you’re going to roll.

What blew, exactly? (sorry, I can’t watch the video)

Wow... this is hilarious. I love hats (the less common, the better), but I gotta laugh with you on some of these. #2 looks like Carmen SanDiego. #1 is just incredible.

Not a lot of 1999 2WD Superdutys have traction control. Not that I ever said anything to suggest it did. And regardless of total miles, 10k miles of towing is a lot more than 90%+ of the ordinary cars (and even pickups) on the road will ever do.

My comment wasn’t regarding longevity; that’s more to do with the quality of the vehicle in question. My comment was based on thousands of miles of towing experience I have, with both FWD and RWD vehicles. I could have also mentioned the time I was towing a heavy trailer with my RWD Superduty, and nearly wound up in…

I tow a 22' camper with my wife’s Escape (First Gen, 4,200lb towing capacity), and it works quite well. I defintiely prefer towing with my F-250, but the car-based Escape handles it well. I have no doubt at all that the Ridgeline is more than capable of towing with a FWD platform.

It’s incredible how frequently I lose trailer blocks. I think there’s a raccoon nearby who’s building a wood-block house or something.

On a snowmobile, you slide over on your saddle to keep balance. Stock snowmobiles have no way to ‘lean’ either, yet they can safely travel (and turn) at incredibly high speeds. Snowmobiles are a ton of fun, and nothing like a trike; two fronts and a front engine is very different from two rears with an engine below…

As someone in the video said, everyone should’ve stood on the bumper. I have to use that method somewhat frequently, as I have a trailer with a jack that doesn’t lift high enough to clear the top of my hitch ball.

I’m really shocked at how well the Yaris held up. It collided with a solid wall and rolled at (what appears to be) 50mph or more. Yet, in spite of that, the car looks like a few I see driving around town; just throw a bungie unto the front to hold the hood closed, and you’re golden.

Settling out of court doesn’t set a legal precident. That’s why big businesses love to do it.

Here in the Black Hills, our Junebugs look just like that. They’re big, grumpy, and they hiss at you if you try to shoe them away. I’m glad I’ve never hit one while driving; in all seriousness, I think they’d crack the windshield.

This would be significantly more useful if it were flipped around; how to make other people stop being hateful towards you. Some people, doesn’t matter how much you try to be nice to them, they hate you on principle. And they usually live next door.

haha anything but! When I was a kid, we were homeless, so my parents bought an older RV to live in. Needing a phone for work, my parents bought one of those for a couple hundred bucks. I remember it was a “use only in emergencies and for dad’s work” phone. It came with an allowance of 200 minutes, and you’re right…

Isn’t that a cop, standing by the driver’s open window, talking with her?
