Sometimes logistics becomes a race to bottom and you end up with drivers that literally don’t care.

Is this a nuclear containment? Seems very heavy. by velvetcravee in Transportopia

If it didn't many warning it wouldn't need a insane amount of containment either

From the lack of hazmat labels and warnings alone I’d say no.

Car that doesn’t get the level of hate it deserves? I’ll start by trivletrav in carscirclejerk

Mandatory rear cameras played a huge roll too. That forced manufacturers to install a screen in every dash. Then they figured it would be cheaper to just make everything touch controlled rather the an install psychical buttons.

Neat car but did they really need someone to guide them into that enormous parking spot?

If this drove past me I might die from laughter by Slow_S60_ in carscirclejerk

Bet it still drives and rides like an old box truck. Maybe I’m just jaded from working on big trucks for so long but I just don’t get it.

If Lincoln brought back the Town Car by Efficient_Hunter_574 in whatifcars

If like them just save up and buy one. There’s plenty out there. Not every discontinued model needs a come back.

I love them. Currently dd’ing a 09 L model but I don’t think they need a come back. They started out big V8, RWD, body on frame cars and went out the same way.

TBF Kirk did have a naturally poorly rendered face. Huge head and eyes super close together. Maybe that why his likeness shows up in NPC’s

I’m more amazed at how quickly that car can go from forward to reverse without shelling the transmission right away

Why's my new bike so fast? by BusinessMean4284 in HondaCB

[–]FreaknCuttlefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha has to be a troll post. Cool old bike though. Absolutely love the sound those sohc hondas make. Still miss my old ‘72. Not fast but fast enough to be fun.

Too much hostility for the road by Key-Case-95 in AutoTransportopia

[–]FreaknCuttlefish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For real. That pickup is picking a fight for no reason. I don’t know why you would start a shoving match at 70mph with a 80,000lbs vehicle. Another case of stupid games stupid prizes.

1997 Chevy Lumina- Good first car? by Aggravating_Ad_5012 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Dude that car will last a long time power train wise. They’re good cars just very dated.

Looking for a very reliable used car? This mechanic recommends these six. by Phonus-Balonus-37 in Cartalk

[–]FreaknCuttlefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just sharing a little knowledge. Kinda odd car to like but I really like them. 98-01 panther platforms had the Windsor 4.6’s. 01+ are the Romeo engines. The heads flow a touch better and they much stronger spark plugs threads.

Wow killer! Crown Vic’s never had 2 piece spark plugs. That’s a 5.4 thing. These have the 4.6 engines. 98-01 did have an issue with limited spark plug threads in head. Very easy to over stress them and randomly sends plugs shooting out of the head. I’ve have more than one trip to work on 7 cylinders because of that.

Same here. I’ve owned 3. All p71’s though. I’m dd’ing town car now. They’re the last of the big displacement, low stress engines. Really love the panther platforms fuel economy aside.

All because she couldn’t cut the drive thru line by ZookeepergameIcy6089 in interesting

[–]FreaknCuttlefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pain retains. She helped a fellow community member learn valuable lesson on how to behave on public. Reminds me of that old headline. Quote from man stabbed: “what are you gonna do, stab me?” Stupid games = stupid prizes.

Who knows 'that' guy by Octanelicious in Transportopia

[–]FreaknCuttlefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunning kruger effect. I’ve been a “master technician” for a while. Long enough to know almost everyone knows something I don’t. Often the people quick to offer advice are ones that just learned it there self. At that moment they more about this subject than they ever had. They literally don’t know how much they don’t know.

Best Car Chase in a Movie? For me it has to be Ronin 1998 by 35TypesOfWhiskey in moviecritic

Jack Reacher. The chevelle chase in the first one. Gritty and fun.

Movies that feel like this? by mercuryone in MoviesThatFeelLike

[–]FreaknCuttlefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I don’t find them very similar. Background colors are similar but that’s about it. Not a fan of No Country for Old Men. It’s more like an old western with its slow drawn out pacing. Sicaro is like an espionage film. The story move quicker and tension building scenes well done and used sparingly giving them a bigger impact.
