"They could have picked more comfortable seats than the seats from a Smart car."

lws1984 commented on 1989 Chevrolet Camaro RS

"The fact that Jeremy Clarkson drove one of these, and actually liked it, is reason enough for these cars to be added. Even if the aircon didn't work."

lws1984 commented on Put A Nuclear Reactor In Your Basement

"Why has nobody commented on the fact that it looks like a warp core?"

lws1984 commented on Eco Park Time Travel Mart: "Whenever You Are, We're Already Then"

"Did you know that if you put barbarian repellent in your gas tank, you get better gas mileage AND scare off anyone who wants to steal your car? I found this out next week, it really works!"

"@PaulE: 900's have to be the second-easiest Saabs to work on."

"This is a triumph."

lws1984 commented on Everex Cloudbook Unboxed, Fondled, Declared Horrible So Far

"@jrog: Yes, that does work decently, however, it's still kind of a lame touchy solution, rather like the Mighty Mouse."

lws1984 commented on Everex Cloudbook Unboxed, Fondled, Declared Horrible So Far

"@AdidasMJO: Surely you mean mouse button. Been using Mac since the beginning - and the fact that they STILL don't have a laptop with 2 trackpad buttons is deplorable. But then, so is the Mighty Mouse. On the Cloudbook, I think the best solution here is to see if it blends, then open the blender and make a cloud of fail-dust."

"I'd buy one of these in a heartbeat."

lws1984 commented on Potty Watch Helps Junior Get House Broken

"It needs to have a remote so that parents can make it go off whenever they want. Growing up/being a teenager with small (not-yet-quite-potty-trained) children around meant that I became intimately familiar with the fact that children should ALWAYS be taken to the loo before getting in a car. My parents gave my kids two options: Go to the loo before getting in the car, or don't go and get punished, in addition to the embarrassment and discomfort of pissing/shitting one's own pants."

"<3 NPR. <3 Volvo. Yes, I'm a New Englander. Yes, NPR is preset #1 on my radio."

lws1984 commented on Why Do You Hate The Dollar Coin?

"Hudape's got the right idea! The 1-Euro coin has 2 metals in it (Copper-colour and silver-colour, I think) If we use some extra pennies, we can give the dollar coin a copper ring around the edge. That, and bring out more $2 bills. Problem solved!"

"If they put Old Spice in these things, I might use it."

lws1984 commented on Geely's London Taxi Coming To Detroit Auto Show, Sale In US

"I'd buy the British import if it wasn't so damn expensive. I'd buy the Chinese import if it got good saftey marks. These things would make an excellent family car."

lws1984 commented on Wii Shaft Virtual Console Joystick

"Come on. Two shafts for $69? These guys have a bad sense of humour. At least include a couple of sockets!"

lws1984 commented on Saabs Gone Wild at the 24 Hours of LeMons!

"A 9000 will definitely not hold up as well under pressure as a 900 will. Hell, I'm relatively confident in the ability of my 900 Turbo (1988, crashed thrice) to pull stunt duty for a Swedish Dukes of Hazzard remake."

lws1984 commented on Pen Phone Design is Smallest Yet

"Needs to be more like a sonic screwdriver."

lws1984 commented on Mac OS 9 Classic Is Dead, Dead, Dead. DEAD. In Mac OS X Leopard

"If you really absolutely need Classic, you're better off going to a flea market and buying a PPC Mac that can run Mac OS 9."
