    Anyone play Automation?

    Just got this game off Steam early-access. It's a car and engine design/tycoon game, in case you haven't heard of it. Really awesome in premise. Put a few hours into it so far. I'm still learning how the software works - being incomplete, there are some inconsistencies in the user experience...

    My turn for a "What car should I buy?" thread!

    My old ~250k mile '99 Passat 1.8T finally crawled to it's last mile yesterday. Now that my sister is out of a car, my family is trying to decide how to make up the gap. We could either buy my sister something cheap and reliable, manual, and practical; or we could buy my mother something...

    Poal: Best donor for an orphaned LS1

    Go. My thoughts are: miata may be cheap, but I'd always regret not going for a more special car like an S2000. With an S2000 I'd always regret not just going the cheap route and getting a Vette to start. Going Vette I'd regret not getting something less flashy like a miata. FML...

    Ask Golfmk6.com: Ever put a Rice Krispie Treat in milk?

    I'm talking the real rice krispie treat, in a bowl, milk poured over the top. In my dreams the milk tastes like marshmallow and the cereal loosens up and can be spooned off. Yes I know there's a cereal that attempts this. Yes I'm eating cocoa rice krispies. No I'm not high. butchered by...

    Stage 1 GTI faster than an RS model?!

    Certainly seems so. http://www.autoblog.com/2013/12/19/2013-audi-rs-q3-review-first-drive/ 306 HP on 3800 lbs. How does that qualify for a RennSport?? Audi, I am disappoint.

    Because Internet

    Turns out that 'because' is quickly becoming an accepted preposition. http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/11/english-has-a-new-preposition-because-internet/281601/ "It's a usage, in other words, that is exceptionally bloggy and aggressively casual and implicitly ironic.
