I kept finding myself looking at Ebay and craigslist today, searching for anything with t-tops. What is going through my head?

Yeah. The American system of picking your own liability coverage terrifies me. Basic mandatory minimum should be sufficient third-party cover to deal with, say, 99% of relevant example cases. A five or six figure number is simply unacceptable.

Same. In the state l live in, in Australia, we have compulsory third party public liability insurance, which goes well into the tens of millions. On top of that I have full comprehensive insurance.

Driving back home from the country today, weather is shithouse, cold and wet.

On the freeway doing 110km/h when I feel the power drop in my car. I look at the rev counter then the speedo and noticed the speedo was saying 160km/h. The passenger side front wheel must have hit some oil or was on a very slick surface and just started spinning. Thankfully after a few seconds it gripped up again and continued on as if nothing happened.

Welp, Roadkill has a paywall now. Videos get released behind it, and then move to YouTube a month later.

Not too much of a problem really - the content just takes a bit longer to go free.

However they should try Patreon like Chris Harris did. he's up to about 6K a video which has to be more than the alternatives. RCR also got good funding via Patreon too - Roadkill could eaaaasily get a few grand per month, likely a whole lot more.

Motor Trend are (or a part of) a massive publishing company, they don't need to do this.

Halt and Catch Fire is on Netflix and I've been watching the poo poo out of it recently. It's like Mad Men, in the 80s, with hardware and BIOS wars.

If that doesn't make you cum all over the loving place, I'm at a loss.

Plus the blonde female character hates wearing bras

I'm probably going to ride Windows 7 for as long as I can get away with it, that is probably until a build a new rig next year.

I like aero, don't judge.

Same. Windows 7 is the best Windows since Windows 2000.
