One of my co-workers got in a fight with someone from a neighboring business because he was taking up four parking spots to keep anyone from parking next to his shiny new truck.

Where I live these are called bro-dozers (or rig-rockets in oil country). They tend to have low-profile “off-road” tires, fake beadlock wheels, and a couple million lumens of LED light-bars aimed right at your rearview mirrors. We spent a good while shitting on them in our episode Automotive Pet Peeves and the Gyrobus

One step closer to having street-legal bumper cars

Modern day Howard Hughes, it’s not a question of if he’s going to collect his own urine, but when he’s going to start selling it as mineral water.

Sounds like they’re about due for another massive labor uprising

As George Carlin said, “Anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac”

That information is relevant to zero people because it’s impossible to make anything out of bent sheet metal with a .0004" tolerance. He may as well have asked for a working car made out of cheese.

I used to work for a company that made stamping dies for aluminum cans, and some of those dies had tolerances close to .0004", because the aluminum is very thin and could crack and tear if the dies were not made precisely. The cans themselves are not that precise, they just need to hold beer without exploding. I can’t speak to Legos, but cars absolutely do not need this kind of precision, not even in the bearings. And especially not in the sheet metal body panels.
