Right? What century is it?

I can see if, say, they were distributed on an as-requested basis. It's insanely wasteful that these things are just given to everybody regardless of need.

Rasputin is my favorite of Northern California's regional record store chains (followed by Amoeba and Dimple). That place makes my checking account scream for mercy.

That warranted a very hearty laugh. Good work.

While modern automatics are technically very good, the feel of a real manual can't be beat. It's more fun, even if a computer can shift faster and more accurately than I can.

...and in the meantime, with few exceptions, us proles tend to be shopping for cars where the manual is the superior transmission-- there are a lot of cars still using crap-ass old 4-speeds with PowerSap torque converters. In those cases, the manual is better, hands down.

In lane changes at highway speeds, a lack of swiveling probably wouldn't matter, but the second you wanted to go around an intersection or parallel park, the tire scrub would probably put a massive amount of stress on the hub and trailer itself. having a suspended caster just makes the whole thing more maneuverable in tight turns.

One of my goals when I rejoin the land of the <s>living</s> employed is to acquire/build either a single-wheel or teardrop for camping; either could be towed by my xB with little drama.

Needless to say, I never comment over here, but I have been enamored with single-wheel trailers for some time.

The combination of high-quality plastics and precision molding in each Lego brick makes them absolutely deadly.
