    Why crossing the street is so deadly (in the US)

    Every single week in Manhattan, usually several times a week, a pedestrian will walk directly in front of my garbage collection truck going through a green light. There are many bad drivers out there but the stupidity I see from pedestrians and bicyclists on a daily basis is maddening. I can't...

    This is definitely a WOW video- Teen Pushes Bear Off Backyard Wall While Defending Family Dogs

    Good example. The teenager in the original video really isn't dumb like some comments suggest. All animals, including humans, have a fight or flight response. When an animal chooses to fight, regardless of its size or perceived strength, it tells the predator they aren't worth messing with.

    Will this Strike Kill Ford/Chevy/Chrysler?

    This is already status quo.

    Will this Strike Kill Ford/Chevy/Chrysler?

    The fundamental issue with the logic of this post is that if the UAW requested normal cost of living increases, they would get only half of that at best. That's the way these negotiations work. If they negotiated in good faith, they'd get bent to the rail just like they did in 2007. They need to...

    Exercise and Health

    AI, as noted, it's almost a certainty that your running is the reason or the biggest reason you're in excellent shape at your age. Running is one of the healthiest things a person could do for both their body and mind. Exercise in general is great but running in particular does so much for the...

    GM 8 Speed Automatic-Lawsuit

    The 8 speed was my biggest hesitation buying my 2022 GMC Canyon last year. Especially coming from the ZF 8 Speed. The only complaint I have so far is very minor. When it's cool out(lower 50's or below) the first shift is rough if not warmed up. Other than that, it shifts very smoothly and is...

    Cost for local detailer to do a ceramic coating on my pickup and Crosstrek

    $500 is dirt cheap for this. Too cheap to be true. That's at $500 per vehicle. If you meant $500 for both, $250 each, that's a serious red flag and there's no chance a real coating or paint correction is being done.

    Test drove a Jeep Grand Wagoneer with the high output 3.0L twin turbo

    The 8 speeds take up too much room.

    Thoughts on ACDelco Full Synthetic 5W-30, Dexos1-Gen3

    Did you get a 2nd Generation with the 3.6 or will be moving up to the 3rd Generation 2.7 OP?

    Paint protection. It’s all futile.

    Cool. Doesn't change what was stated.

    Couple of Driver Behaviours

    There's way too many to list. After getting my CDL last year and now driving a school bus every day in a suburban NYC area, my biggest pet peeve is drivers stopping over the white line at a red light. Most aren't stopping short for a fast light, they're just going over it for no reason other...

    Paint protection. It’s all futile.

    The Asian brands have the worse paint quality. Any car less than 10 years old with clear coat failure will almost certainly be a Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Hyundai, Kia, etc.

    Autozone Employees

    As already stated, knowing your exact part ahead of time will save you trouble. Reading comprehension 101.

    Autozone Employees

    The secret to part stores is knowing exactly what you're purchasing before going in. What works best is ordering your exact part numbers ahead of time for store pick up. If you expect the minimum wage worker to know a million different parts off the top of their head, you're going to have a...

    Peter Zeihan - What Will Happen If China Invades Taiwan?

    If you're suggesting a few members hiding in homes all day counts as a meaningful presence, by all means enjoy the logic. Al Qaeda was decimated in Afghanistan and it's been neither a staging nor training ground for many years. Al Qaeda, Iraq and ISIS pose almost zero threat collectively to the...

    Peter Zeihan - What Will Happen If China Invades Taiwan?

    The only conventional war the United States engaged in over the last 50 years was the most lopsided victory in world history. In Afghanistan and the Second Iraq War, the principle goals of ousting Al Qaeda + regime change in Iraq was achieved. Either war compared to the present one Ukraine make...
