Seriously - someone’s been watching too much Clarkson. Read more

It’s a simple car and anything that goes wrong can easily be fixed, quite likely by better bits. Same applies to any other car of the era. Calm yourself with the “Lucas!” rhetoric. Read more

Some tankers, but not all tankers, are segmented which allows for delivering multiple grades of unleaded + diesel. My grandpa designed trailers for a living and I know entirely too much about these things for someone who needs to know absolutely nothing about them. Read more

I don’t think that holds true anymore. The emissions systems are not reliable for the long run. Even at steady state. My guess is the hd diesels are coming to an end soon. The hybrid gas combos will out pull, out mpg, and do so more reliably. Ultimately I think diesels are dead. This is just the first one to die. Read more

Just doing a quick search across resale sites... the diesel F-150 is like a Raiders fan without a felony. Which is to say, I couldn’t find one. Read more

So you are telling me I can’t go back to Constantinople?  Read more

You do realize that it is largely still our government “forking over the big bucks”, right? I mean, who do you think is the largest source of funding for SpaceX?  Read more

So, let’s say one person goes to the Sky Deck of the Willis Tower looks out then goes back down, is that person not allowed to say that they’ve been to the top of the Sears Tower? Read more

Rare earth minerals aren’t used in the batteries. They are used in the magnets that go into motors. Read more

Here we go again. Some of us who have forgone meat since, say...1998, do so for ethical reasons, and not because we eschew the taste and/or texture of meat. Some of us are thrilled beyond measure that there are ‘meaty’ substitutes out there. And some of us are allergic to nuts, legumes, etc., and so those aren’t… Read more

It’s the sky-charging network Tesla is rolling out in China. Still in the beta stage obviously. Read more

Gee, thanks so much for the condescending lecture, I wasn’t aware beans existed?! (rolls eyes) Read more

This was never a $2500 truck in my area. These things always commanded $4k unless it was a junker spec, former parts runner, 10 miles from blowing up. I’m confident in that because I looked for one while in high school. Read more

Yeah, I did - it’s a little different, in that the main character *is* the outsider to traditional femininity who learns that caring about those things doesn’t automatically make someone shallow, but I see a lot of overlap. As someone who doesn’t wear makeup most of the time and is in a field that’s male-dominated, I… Read more

I’m not going to shell you (lol) but I am going to offer a different perspective. I was 10 when this came out and watched it again recently. The ol’ girl holds up mostly because of how women are portrayed in the films you cited. At the time this was released the P!nk “Stupid Girls” vs. Lindsay, Paris, Britney thing… Read more
