Where were you 8 hours ago? That would have been a ****ing fantastic idea!

Go get some now.

That looks awesome.

After lurking in the rant yesterday I was compelled to make burgers for dinner last night (no eggs). According to myfitnesspal, that was a 1000 calorie meal



And worth every calorie!

What...no pictures?!?!

[strongforgood]

LOL I will be sure to take pictures next time. We ended up with several extra teenagers for dinner, so the pile of burgers was quite impressive!

[Hishiad]

if next weekend is dry like this one I might fire up the grill. Love making grilled burgers, think I'm going to even try to pick out a cut and have the butcher grind it just before I leave. All the "purest" say that's the best way to go.

I made burgers on an electric grill inside last night.

Not...quite...the...same.....

[theshoupguy]

George Foreman burgers are not the same either (unless that was what you were referring to).

Same idea, different brand name. Lost my George Foreman grill in my second divorce.

Bought my GF a Cuisinart Griddler for Christmas this year. It's more functional.



The cooking surface is reversible so it can be a flat griddle or a grill surface, and you can use it flat open or close it. It's great for making Panini's.

the people struggling to shovel snow off their car right now are wishing they had trained for functional strength

New Australian built car for US market (will be sold as Chevy SS and also race in NASCAR). Yay or nay?

If the Holden Monero aka Pontiac GTO never caught on I'm not sure why that would.

[chazzy1864]

It looks fine to me.


I think the Manero got too much hate by the GTO zealots (and rightfully so, since Pontiac f*cked up labeling a perfectly good car the same thing as an iconic vehicle from yesteryear).

Time will tell I guess. After this generation runs its course they'll be focusing on 4 cylinder cars.

American cars typically have cheap looking interiors and this should be a significant step up from the last one (GTO) if they export it in the same form.

I agree the GTO was a fail and for a performance car should have come with a supercharger along with improved styling cues.

Twin-screw S/C in a GTO:

I hate the HUD trend on cars.

[chazzy1864]

I hate the HUD trend on cars.

i love the HUD on my car, but I have a feeling that we might be talking about different things.

The HUD i'm referring to is an actual display projected onto my windshield that shows a digital version of my tach and the mph. But, if that is becoming more prevalent on cars now a days, then I think that is awesome.

[kvk1]

Yes, the projected display.

I don't like this airplane/car fusion crap.

I don't know, maybe I'm being Voxy.

[therorschach]

Yes, the projected display.

I don't like this airplane/car fusion crap.

I don't know, maybe I'm being Voxy.

Me, too. I wish they had a Horses Up Display, where a holographic image of a horse is projected in front of your car, so it looks like your car is being driven by a horse, a fast horse. Possibly a race horse.

[Farley1324]

Yes, the projected display.

What do airplanes have to do with it?

Does it serve a purpose in cars, and do it satisfactorily??

[chazzy1864]

I bet they didn't have HUDs in the 1950s when things were better!

Honestly sounds like you should have the car's HP %'age on it.

No.

It's redundant.

The same information is a few inches below on the actual display console.

I hate the HUD trend on cars.

If it helps give the car a more premium feel in a market saturated with European cars, then I can understand why they're doing it.

They've added a whole bunch of safety features which are overkill for most of us but then there are a lot of lazy drivers who love gimmicks. Over the past couple of years they've lost the top spot in sales to Mazda so this is really the last roll of the dice to convince Australians to buy large sedans when the trend for families is an SUV for weekends and a smaller car to drive to work and do small trips.

Personally I don't need frills like automatic lights or rain sensing wipers. I don't want a car to tell me if I'm going to hit something or depart from a lane. Seatbelt alarms already annoy me. I leave traction control on and I like having a reverse camera just in case a kid could be standing behind my car in a parking lot, but that's where it ends.

[chazzy1864]

No.

I like it. Same information or not. I don't have to drop my eyes down to the dash. Easier to get the info I want while remaining focused no the road.

lol I think we only prefer a couple of the same things.

The auto lights I don't need, but they are actually awesome. Just leave the switch and forget about it. The wipes aren't great, but are nice. Mainly I like some of BMW's features for wipers. They'll come to an intermittent wiping when you pull to a stop and will speed up some when at speed.

I dont' like the reverse cameras, but I like what my car has, just has an image with the sensor areas displayed on the screen on the dash. Works better for me. Seatbelt alarms can lick my MFing taint!

As can traction control systems.

Yeah.

Your penchant for safe driving is unrivaled.

So... it would be wiser to combine removing my eyes from the road while engaging in high speed and aggressive driving? I shall write that down.
