An Interesting Idea
When You Really Only Care About Your Bumper
Look, the rest of the car—I can take it or leave it. Just attach the tow hook to the bumper. That’s all I want back if I get stuck out on track.
Don’t bother attaching the hook to anything structural on the car
itself that might accidentally pull the whole out of harm’s way, as a
tow hook is really intended to do.

This Is The Only Way I Can Afford These Cars
Just over a month ago, we got a look at one of the latest Lego Speed Champions sets when Ford revealed the GT and GT40 kit. Now we get to see the rest of the lineup, and it's chock full of F1 and supercar goodness. The official Lego images show that the Bugatti Chiron, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Ferrari FXX K, and F1 cars from Ferrari and Mercedes all made the cut.
Each set gets some unique features and most include interchangeable wheel covers. The Chiron comes with some tiny cones suitable for desk slaloms and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 gets an alternate nose. The FXX K comes has the most impressive selection of accessories, though, as it includes a dyno and engine run stand.

This Is Not Surprising News
Japan's once-dominant carmakers face big pay hikes to lure tech talent
TOKYO -- Headhunter Casey Abel spent four months trying to hire a data-center architect for a Japanese automaker, including five meetings with the client -- one with the top executive. In the end, the IT specialist joined an e-commerce company abroad for significantly more money.
“There’s just a massive mismatch in salaries,” said Abel, managing director at recruiter HCCR K.K., who has spent as long as a year trying to land some IT candidates. “You’ve got some engineers making 20 million yen ($170,000) a year. Then you try to fit them in the traditional manufacturer-based salary structure where it should be 7 to 9 million yen.”

How Did Some Of Your Favorites Rank?
Every Important Dim Sum Dish, Ranked
3. Pan-fried chive or leek dumplings (gow choi gau)
- Crispy, juicy, intensely earthy... you can skip the Chinese broccoli if you eat your fill of these veggie dumplings.
4. Sticky rice in lotus leaf (lo mai gai)
- Speckled with bits of chicken, sausage, and mushrooms, this is pretty much everything you love about fried rice, minus the grease, plus gift wrap.
7. Potstickers (guotie)
- Similar to the old truism/meme about sex and pizza, even bad potstickers are worth having now and regretting later.
9. Open-face pork-and-shrimp dumplings (siu mai)
- What har gow could be if they just made a little effort.
14. Deep-fried shrimp balls
- Though mixed and bound with other ingredients like all meatballs, these taste purely of mildly sweet and juicy shrimp. Salty and greasy fried shrimp, but shrimp all the same.
