They aren’t ‘impersonating law enforcement’ as we don’t have Sheriffs* and Troopers here, just like you’d be allowed to drive a German police car marked up as Polizei.

This is one of the coolest harmless enthusiast communities to exist, and they exist for no reason whatsoever.

This is what I want to see... put all the old sports cars on modern tires and see how much faster they are compared to the original times...

It’s funny how our expectations change. In this era of Hellcat motors putting out 700+hp, getting only 400hp from an 8L V10 seems almost quaint.

25,000 miles in a month is way above what a typical, or even high-mileage Uber does.

/r/Uberdrivers has had this conversation several times and the responses are typically 200-250 miles a day, 1000-1500 miles a week, 35-50k miles a year. There are guys who’ve done 100k a year, but those are outliers. Even those guys…

It’s a product of the 70's. Of course it needed two ashtrays. The better question is why the back seats, however small, did not also get ashtrays (or even the rear parcel shelf on the earlier 2-seat XJ-S convertibles).

There is an even more hardcore version of this one, without a windshield, but helmets are mandatory. And you can drive it in the rain, it is made for it and pass the test.

Looking again at the video, yeah, she deserved that ticket. I mean, even if you don’t understand how the carwash is supposed to work, you should at least understand how the laws of physics work. If there is an object in front of you, don’t keep driving right into it! Not even at idle pace!

She missed a giant sign saying to put in neutral. She probably ignored verbal instructions to put in neutral (there’s usually a person standing and telling you to do it at every auto wash I’ve been to).

Gotta agree with the other early commenters, the lady is at fault. Ignorance is no excuse and if someone hit my car, I’d want them to pay something too. The ticket may be a bit much, but it is still cheaper than painting a bumper or hitting someone in the car wash. My mother is 77 and her driving is starting to really…

Literally not paying attention while driving seems “careless” to me. 

This. Imagine she did this at a crosswalk with kids in it.

1) “Oh, my late husband always used to do this.” Did he get run over by a bus?

They usually have people guiding the cars. you normally are supposed to stop first, put it in neutral, release the brakes and wait for the loader to push you along. in the gif she just kept on going, you can see the feeders behind waiting to catch up so it can keep a good distance from the car in front. was it…

As someone who thinks the cops are douchy, out-of-control fuckwads most of the time... what the fuck is this bullshit article. She hit a cop car. She got a ticket. Seems pretty fucking straightforward to me. Don't wanna get a careless driving ticket? Don't run into someone else's car. And WTF is this "I don't think I…

Why would you NOT write a ticket in that situation? Running into the back of another car is the definition of careless driving. What if she had run over a worker at the car wash instead of just running into another car?

Um. It was parked on an AIRFIELD. The airfield was negligent in letting snowmobilers use the field at the same time as letting the military land helicopters there.

fallen tree is not the same thing as a camouflaged helicopter parked on an active snowmobile trail.

I think if you buy a used cop car, or a used rental car, you gotta assume it’s been through some shit.

They are plastic and are known to warp and/or crack with heat. Due to the idle hours of police vehicles, you don’t get the airflow needed to cool the engine bay -- leading to increased premature failure. This leads to oil leaking out and just general low oil issues. I didn’t realize these were full on engine failure,…
