The Daily Rant Thread

because if it was Rwd and had the power required to hit the speeds people want these days the car would be undrivable by most buyers.

I agree. They would be drift cars, not 'drivers'. Not bad necessarily but also not true to its 1:1.

In rwd drive with that body I would have likely been on the pre-order list immediately.

officially tired of the world cup. between the lack of shots on goal. lack of scoring/scoring attempts, guys taking falls looking for a call. soccer is just not entertaining.

Today we battle the almost 700$ med bill from my nerve conduction study. Final notice arrived today....7 phone calls later, 5 of which the automated system hung up on me...a live person. He actually seemed competent enough to understand that my coverage changed back in February, and was active at the time of the appointment....and they just have to bill the current provider instead of the previous 1 if they want to get paid. Which he acknowledges they never tried, even though they can see it is active in the system, and was active at the time of the appointment....this industry has a long way to go before I have any confidence in it.

I feel you on this one, Mrs. Doom had the same situation, while she was in the hospital her insurance switched, and it took us a year to get it straightened out.

Once my +20yo Craftsmen riding mower goes, my next mower will be a mowing robot. They'll most likely get better and cheaper as times goes on. As of right now, many are about the same cost as an entry level riding mower.
I actually don't mind mowing the lawn, but having an extra +2hr freed up every week would certainly be useful.

I'm with you. Now that my riding mower has been discontinued and there won't be any repair parts, once it's broken down I'll have to look into a robotic mower, or an RC mower, which ever is cheaper, and meets my needs.

Why do rc makers go to this painstaking level of detail for the looks of a classic car, and no one on the design team speaks up to point out that it's not supposed to be 4wd...View attachment 277031

Yeah, I hate that. RC models of classis cars should be RWD. The manufacturers can offer FWD and or AWD as an upgrade option.
