China has large air-quality problems and is actually mandating TOUGHER standards for emissions than California.

After personally witnessing 40+ years of American car companies making crap to sell to us I am not sure we need a Chinese bogeyman to scare us.

Bust at least you can buy a new car for $5.00

I’m sure there’s a bunch of Chinese car companies that would love environmental and safety regulations to be relaxed, so they can invade the market with cheap and dirty deathtraps.

You heard the man, people: do not, under any circumstances, like, share, retweet or discuss any Deadspin articles, no matter how much you may have enjoyed them, lest they gain goodwill without proper payment. And need I remind you that they are owned by a multibillion-dollar company?! I can’t quite articulate why that…

But my state (Florida) is surprisingly well-run and properly-funded. So what does our idiot GOP legislature and Gov Voldemort continually try to do? Undermine it by pushing new hires in the direction of a “personal investment account” 401k-style system. In the long run, if enough people choose that option, the pension…

I like tuna. Out of a can. Preferably albacore in olive oil. On a good hard roll. And not absolutely necessary, but maybe a small pile of potato chips.

I know you referenced it in the article, but it should be extremely highlighted:

Amazing what you can do if you just roll up the corners on your approach/departure angles.

As an aspiring engineer in Baja SAE, I really relate to this haha.

This is just such a good fucking point.

LOL!
Well said. Nobody on the Rubicon did more “building” of their rig than these guys;)

I mean, it was the engineers driving it, so they kinda did build it themselves.

If you really wanted to go draconian like this, then the companies will just bury the spills and pretend like they never happened, which is inevitably more dangerous.

I’m commenting only to put 84 gallons into perspective.

I don’t want to make it seem like I’m defending the state or the oil company, but small spills like this this really do happen every day, not just with oil companies, but in any industry that deals with quantities of oil/fuel. It probably didn’t even occur to anybody in the government to make an announcement about it.

They likely dug a containment trench around it and and used an absorbent to soak it up and then dispose of it properly. 84 gallons is a very, very, very minor spill.

No one from Chicago eats deepdish.

I don’t think you have a very good grasp on which of us is the angry one.
