And they would've gotten away with it if their friend was not an ego tripping blabbermouth too.

Yeah, his buddies did do it. But there is no way they are gonna admit it and risk their pensions over admitting it.

It happens everywhere. People get jobs because of family all the time. Most of those insufferable “business” books stress building a network and they always stress that your first network is always your family.

The Santa Cruz is one of those vehicles I’d answer for a QOTD prompt about a car that you irrationally kind of like. Like, I can’t foresee a circumstance where I’d ever own one, but I also kind of like something about the way they look. I had similar feelings when the Kona debuted. Just funky enough in the right ways.…

This is true - once the vehicle is written off and the claim paid, it becomes a total loss and even if recovered later with no damage, the total loss status remains.

You know so little about how large vessels work that you have no idea that there are things you don’t know. 

Just one modification needed—take a pause every once in awhile, smile, and enjoy the process! This car looks fantastic!

I think Final Destination did a good job imprinting that fear into an entire generation.

The front end looks like an evolution of the Michael Keaton Batmobile, maybe Gen 4.

Yeah, what is the difference between plain clothes cops rushing you carrying guns and body armor, and a carjacking/gang murder?

Golf carts.

I guess whatever works for you, but seems entirely unnecessary to me to have 2 accounts when you only need one. But that is essentially combining and sharing all expenses rather than what other people do where one each spouse has “their money”. Like by dumb sister. She agrees with her spouse to pay half the living…

Hyundai’s marketing department could just say:

Driving on the road with other people.

If only they hadn’t taken Mercedes “hunched butt” look and made it visually worse. It also looks bent in the middle, and it’s weird to my eyes. 

This country is literally built upon poor non-white immigrant labor that’s still doing all the “undesirable” physical labor jobs to keep prices low because white people don’t want to do back breaking for basically pennies.

He *use to* work in theater gigs, hasn’t owned a car in years, and now has a commute in Maryland.  He needs a car, and $25K is about as practical a price point you can get for someone with a full-time software job -- he didn’t say that he wants to work on his car on the weekends, so a $10K car is not an option.

yeah I’m done.  The only thing keeping these sites going were the comments.  There are better websites out there with better writing.  They don’t have the vibrant comment community but they do have better writing.  I’ve been an AV Club head for 20 years now.  Too bad.

America is basically the racist old man in the nursing home, accusing the Jamaican nurses who clean his ass everyday of stealing his jello. 

Part of the toxicity of the MAGA crowd is the default assumption that anyone with a non-European surname must have questionable legal status, where there’s no evidence that any of the people in question have any less right to live and work in America than Melania and her parents.
