Anyone know what the Stig was fiddling with on the BMW during the hot lap? Something on the center console, I know it can't be the shifter because both are automatics. #topgear
@daemonoid: Didn't know those semi autos were so effective. I always thought the dual clutch was the best, didn't know semi-suto slushboxes were effective at apeed. #topgear
Fine, as long as I don't have to pay for it. If they can find places to put them where they'll actually be used enough to offset their cost, build them.
Since private industry hasn't done that yet, in spite of the technology having been available for decades, I don't think there is a strong business case for them.
Gee, I always thought automatic transmission was an American thing, and that people who drive stick were euro-trash cheese-eating surrender monkeys. #cartech
@skaycog: Clearly it needs to not only be a quilt, but then turned into a snuggie, so that you could comfortably wear that much awesomeness and not get cold reaching for the remote. #tshirt
@Murilee Martin: Old t-shirts get stretchy and stretchy stuff doesn't work well on quilts. I had an old collection of 60s/early 70s Fender t-shirts--Fender has brought back some of them, but not all of them, strangely enough. We tried various ways to save them but the only one left is "The World's Favorite Love Machine" with some cartoonish birds and bees on it--after seeing the rest fail as pillows, throws and such, I can tell you that this kind of material is really made for t-shirts, period and I'm glad I didn't risk the "Love Machine" one, which is currently in hiding in the bottom of a drawer. #tshirt
Another advantage of HSR is that if you’re a terrorist or an anarchist, you can cause major carnage with very little investment. A simple cow on the tracks would be devastating.
@Flathead Smith: using that as an arguement against high speed rail (in a sarcastic tone) is akin to saying we shouldn't be allowed to live and work in tall buildings, because they are far more efficient at allowing lots of people to die when the terrorists blow them up. #rants

You watch the last 5 minutes of this episode and tell me that it was uninteresting, I'd break your nose for lying. #topgear

We spent some serious time over the weekend trying to kill one and let me tell you, it wasn't easy. It just kept going.
It finally took lots of fire and several rifle rounds to make it officially dead. This was after many hours of Davidsfarm levels of hooning.
Long live the Vic. #policecars

Yet anyway. #rants

I have two suggestions for your T-shirts:
l. Tape or pin them to your garage walls.
2. Have some quilts made from them. Then you could raffle them off and donate proceeds to charity. #tshirt
