All harrowing and hilariously / terrifyingly written. Rosa's psychopath should absolutely have gotten an assault charge instead of a table. Someone in her future has a dented forehead because that manager's spine was made of Silly Putty. I

Yep. They apparently require this of all of them now. The Sentinel still has some solid writers, but it’s struggling and not the paper it once was.

I actually know Jessica Inman a bit. She’s young, and hasn’t been at the Sentinel long. She wanted to write — no idea if she has any broadcast experience.

Holy crap. No hazards? And then gets *back* in the car, still in the middle of the road, still without even the hazards on, and serenely smooths her hair and fiddles with the phone, ignoring the pleas to get to safety, while cars dive and squeal and careen around her?

Yep. A simple back of the envelope car payment estimation that will work with most financing is:

(Amount financed) x 2 / 100. In other words, financing $12k should be about $240 / month — about where you wound up.

One of these pulled up next to us at a stoplight in Lake Mary, FL the other day. My wife has a great eye for exotics (she spotted a McLaren on the road the other day from way back behind us).

It’s a beautiful machine. But.

The wheels are so large in relation to the car they look almost comical, though. And the poor,…

Is that a flame symbol in his logo? Doesn’t Ted Cruz have a flame symbol in his logo (only his is some mashup of the flag and the Texas flag or something)?

WHAT’S WITH ALL THE FLAMES WHAT DO THEY MEAN?

I’m not saying it’s the secret mark of a nationwide fascist conspiracy, but if Jeb Bush’s campaign comes out with a…

That is a very cool thing to look at on the Internet, where it can't harm anyone on this side of the screen.

That's a chilling pattern. An apparently unbroken habit, since at least age 17, that goes something like:

There is nominally dairy-free "cheese." Soy products, I believe. Yes, that means it really isn't cheese at all, but that's got to be what she meant.

Liked John McGinley in Platoon, et al. Perhaps he has some advice for his young nephew (Like, "Hey, kid, stop getting drunk and attacking women in cars.").

(First attempt at this post went kablooie; apologies if I end up with two).

Just thought it was interesting that according to his Syracuse player profile, this gentleman's uncle is actor John C. McGinley of Scrubs fame. I even think there is a bit of a resemblance if you can see through the mud and blood.

It can't help that 2015 Volkswagens have been so slow getting to the dealers' lots. Here we are in March, and in Central Florida, anyway, they're just starting to trickle in. A manual GTI is next to impossible to find, and they still don't have the 2015 Sportwagens out as near as I can tell. Given what I assume is the…

This was a highly visible public area. 100 feet from the center of downtown Orlando in broad daylight. Cars everywhere; buildings overlooking the scene. Unmarked FHP is everywhere, which everyone knows.

Hmm. Not reading this as a cop attacking a motorcyclist at all. He should not have driven so close to the bike, but it appeared he was trying park the undercover FHP car next to him when the biker gunned it instead. I don't see a "hit" at all, and clearly if there was any attempt to squash the bike, it would have…

Really about 98% of what is wrong with the world, and America in particular, right now:

What a harrowing story, and what a surprising, immensely satisfying resolution.

I never got the hatred for minivans. I sold cars on weekends for a year or so, and I couldn't begin to count all the families that came in needing a commuter vehicle that could carry two adults, two kids, a dog, and some soccer balls, and the first thing out of their mouths?

"Anything but a minivan EWWW!"

Then they'd…

I read that as, "Had two supercars that weren't that impressive; got a normal-people sporty car that was a lot of fun; draw your own conclusions as to whether supercars are worth it."

Hear, hear. They're from the government. And they're here to help us!

American automakers are the poster child for the proposition that gov't regs can drive better automotive technology. Without requirements like fleet mileage and crash safety, we'd have been driving 9 mpg fiery deathtraps for decades longer than we…
