Hey, @xfinity - why can't I log into my account on a desktop browser? Keep getting timeout errors...

@sniffpetrol Your IDP snafu at MegaWeb brought me back - in '16, my wife and I visited, plopped down ¥600, and drove a Century around a tiny little road course. This was LITERALLY the only reason I've ever sought an IDP...a worthless document that, in this case, was totally worth it.

Today's Smith and Sniff podcast was quite a geek out, but the good thing is that geekery leads to geekery. See below.

@EdelbrockUSA why is your dealer locator page perpetually broken? Trying to find a local store that may actually have the AVS2 variant I need but there's apparently no way of whittling that down as your locator page remains borked.

@CarGuyDad I feel you. It inevitably rains here the day after I wash mine, turning our dirt roads into a mudfield. I can tolerate it with the Bronco to a point, but it makes it difficult to get the Mustang out and about.

Literally three minutes after leaving the detailing place, a big ass cloud rolls over and starts a tropical downpour. Of course.

@Seyth Best of the last good WRXes. I said what I said.

All mine.

@CPAutoScribe @itsvantime It's neat but not its best spec.

It’s a good thing this diesel-powered JDM Mitsubishi Canter 4x4 can’t be registered in CA, because it’s local, has low miles and is surprisingly affordable. Is it just me, or is your screen screaming “BUY ME!” right now? Surely someone I know needs this. facebook.com/share/95DQyzTw…

@ajtonge40 This has big Flint energy

“We have a Cybertruck at home”

@spverboonen @panozllc Half suspect the company only exists to provide service parts at this point in time...

@EvMcCee @panozllc that was the same question I had, but it seems like every single one of their social media accounts don't have any updates after this one...

🔺Panoz Museum Temporarily Closed🔺 Due to the global spread of COVID-19 and continuous discussion with the Panoz family, a decision has been made to temporarily close the museum until further notice. We will still remain open for your service and parts needs Thank you, Panoz

@ajtonge40 (checks notes) Ford, apparently. theautopian.com/ford-recalled-…

What’s stopping you from getting the good tires? Even contractors with transits are in.

@banovsky Better yet, when they're configured for dictatorial grandstanding.

@banovsky I prefer my mil-spec Kias to be based off designs drafted sixty years ago in Toledo.

@jeppe_olesen "Many celebrities and politicians are reptilians" Danica, aren't you...a...celebr...

I listened to The Danica Patrick Lizard People Podcast, so you don't have to 🦎 Here are the highlights, in order of appearance: - Reptilians invented money to control us. - The reptilians are not okay with the shifting of the energies. - We're at a choice point in history (no mention of what choice though). - From 2024 to 2028 we'll see "the uprising of the new earth frequency". - People are getting murdered over free energy technologies. - People in the past "found the solution for cancer, but they were killed off". - There are new solutions coming from people who understand "vibrational frequency". - There are waves of energy hitting our galaxy which are increasing the vibrations of our planet. - The reptilians are scared because humans are gaining power. - The Galactic Federation says that the planet belongs to the humans, even though reptilians were here before us. - Humans haven't has this kind of power since we inhabited Atlantis. - Many reptilians are "transmuting into the light because of the vibrations". - Many celebrities and politicians are reptilians, among them Adele and Justin Bieber. - In the next four years, the celebrity reptilians will all shapeshift into their true forms because of the vibrations. Those who do not wish to show their true forms will "transmute into the light" (aka pass away). - Justin Bieber will accidentally shapeshift on stage in front of thousands. The audience will have their minds wiped. "Like a Men in Black situation. That's how they suppress the truth". - "The government knows that cosmic disclosure is happening". - Want proof? Google it. - Government whistleblowers have confirmed the existence of the Galactic Federation. - UFOs are real. Aliens are real. Videos from the 1940s prove it. - Elizabeth April communicates directly with the aliens in the Galactic Federation. - The human race is an experiment. We live on a "prophecy planet". - The human race was created to "end the war of all war in the universe" - 26000 years ago, humans inhabited Atlantis. They were given everything: All knowledge, all information, all technology, all advancement. - The humans of Atlantis ruined it, they couldn't handle the technology. So Atlantis and civilisation had to fall, plunging the world in to a dark age where everyone had their minds wiped. - A lot of Atlanteans have chosen this time to reincarnate. - In order to take care of others you have to take care of yourself. If you give too much, without receiving, you can burn out. "Sometimes burnout looks like cancer". - Elizabeth April says she has a friend who is a rocket scientist at NASA, and they say she's right about everything. - This reality is a simulation. - You don't die, you "go back to source" and reincarnate in a new simulation. - Humans didn't evolve. We were engineered as a mix of many different alien races. - Quantum physics prove that it's a simulation. The double slit experiment is the proof. - If you're "in the vibration of abundance", you "get to emit that vibration to the world, and change the frequency of the planet". - If you think about something, you can manifest it. For example, Elizabeth April thought very hard about a basketball. Then, later, she was walking past a basketball court and there was a basketball. - Danica went on a "guided mushroom journey" where she became a waveform. - "If you were meant to be a waveform, you wouldn't be a human". - We all have an "energetic responsibility". We have to clear the energy. Having eye contact creates energy. Taking a shower clears energy. Also crystals clear energy. - You can't tell your kids that Santa is real, if you're going to tell them that aliens are real. Ghosts are real - you should tell your kids about ghosts. - Elon Musk is the da Vinci of our generation. Elizabeth April has had "a lot of past life regressions off planet". The aliens' technology is linked directly to their consciousness - "just like Neuralink". - Elon Musk is helping prepare us to join the Galatic Federation. - There are 12 dimensions. The internet is a dimension, because "time doesn't exist on the internet" and "you can talk to people in Sweden". - The Galactic Federation said 5G radiation is dangerous, which is why the aliens use space suits. A lot of clothing companies have started creating radiation proof clothes. You should have your house painted in radiation proof paint. Danica has EMF / 5G reducers in her home. - When you've progressed through the 12 dimensions, you get a choice: You can either go back to source and rejoin the universe as an "all knowing, omnipotent sentient thing", or you can "start your own univers as your own source", also all knowing, omnipotent and sentient. - It's like The Sims. Or The Good Place. - You can buy Elizabeth April's books or sign up for her workshop to learn how to communicate with the Galactic Federation or see ghosts. She'll also write a new book: "What is anxiety really?" - Elections don't really matter in the grand scheme of things, because "earth is on a trajectory and everyone is just a puppet. The prophecy is going to be realised no matter what". - Danica wants to do more political interviews, because she's "a voice of neutrality - of presenting information objectively". - "Why do we even have partisan politics? People who used to be Democrats have become Independents, have become Republicans. So like, now you're not actually that?" I have to say, they make a lot of good points.

@spinal_capped Yep, incredibly odd/ bad move. Also unsure why a stratospherically high word count is touted as a selling point? I enjoy the Autopian but a few of its writers are in particular need of editing for length/ brevity/ clarity. (I say that as an writer always welcoming the same.)

@EvMcCee Yeah I was just being very gentle for some reason, but yeah they darken everybody’s day. Genuinely can’t think of a less-cool production car. (I think I was still in shock that an article about a $100k+ vehicle was opened up by shitting on a homeless person.)

1.) I don’t think social status should negate anybody’s opinion. 2.) It’s a pretty universally-shared opinion that these cars are extremely lame. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a new car that gets so much stifled laughter and head shaking from onlookers.

@BanksPower - I'm *loving* my iDash data logger in my MY22 Bronco with the 2.3 - but really, Really, REALLY wish it could see and record transmission temperatures to the SD card. You offer trans temp tracking for other Fords with the 10AT, can you add it to this application?

@CPAutoScribe It's neat, and I appreciate the historic tie-in - but that casting has been part of the standard mainline for a while now, with nearly the same level of decor. All yours for a buck and change at your local Kroger.

Matchbox is about to release a 1949 Kurtis Sport Car to celebrate 75 years of Motor Trend. The package riffs on the magazine’s first issue, which featured the car. MT purchased the exact same Kurtis some 70 years later in 2019. creations.mattel.com/products/match… motortrend.com/features/kurti…

@banovsky big ECOBASIC energi

This is a parcel sent from Singapore to MI. It was within an hour of its destination - and now it's in Indianapolis? WTF, @USPS @USPSHelp? Why is the hardest part of this parcel's journey not crossing continents or clearing customs but simply finding its way through MI?

@the_autopian @MattHardigree @JasonTorchinsky ...because they hired ex-GM designers?
