Yeah, I always sort of get this puzzled look on my face at the reliability naysayers. I know not everyone has the same experience, but my car, which I bought with 39k miles and now has 159k (and flogged over city streets for the past decade) has needed an AC compressor and a power steering line and that's it. (Not Read more

My current DD is a 9-3 SE. Definitely a car that was built for a different style of road than what is accessible here in the US. Most cars, trucks and vans feel quicker stoplight-to-stoplight, but the odd and thrilling thing about these cars, even stock, is their great mid-gear thrust. 3rd gear at 3000 RPM and the Read more

Look, there is a very simple, very clear explanation for all of this. Read more

My eyes went all googly and I don't think they'll ever go back normal. Read more

This is one of the best comments I have ever read. No joke. Plus Fucking One. Read more

In his statements after the round (made before he didn't realize that he had mis-played the drop), he stated he knowingly moved the ball back 2 yards off to get to a better yardage for the shot. (Yes, someone as good as TW cares about 2 yards). Read more

I think he did it because he confused the two options regarding where he could drop, not because of some sinister intent to put one over on everyone. Regardless, clearly a substantive Read more

No, that's not the case at all. Way too hard. There's no way that computers or lasers or computers with lasers can handle that sort of complexity - not now, and probably not in the future. It's like hitting a bullet with a bullet or something. Nice try though, Future McSciencedude. Read more

It's truck month at your local Ford store! Hi folks, Mike Rowe here to tell you about all the great deals here. Read more

Right, that's just what I was saying, the technological challenges are just way, way beyond the scope of what modern science and engineering can handle. Read more

Whoa! This guys BARF¹ is at least one standard deviation better than would be expected. I hope we can get more data to see if his HURL² is in line with projections, though. Read more

It's just so weird that we have this slow-mo/lasers/radar technology that lets you see the objectively, inarguably correct call after the fact, but there is just no way to adapt it to make the objectively, inarguably correct call in real time. So, so weird. Crazy. Read more
