Jason, oh Jason, my dear sweet, wonderful, boy! You have missed two of the most wonderful applications of what is essentially the same technology, one of which is on our mutually beloved brand Volkswagen. In the early 80s, even before Volkswagen came out with a five-speed transmission, they were too cheap to install a…

Can we just stop with the Austrian anthem? It really is a dirge.

To be fair can F1 really ban a country from flying their military over a racetrack

You are absolutely correct. There are 97 municipalities in St Louis county and about 6 of them need to exist.

Everything they raise, the PO keeps - this benefits the town and citizens Not. At. All. (Except for those officers). 

Since when have cops ever followed precedent when it didn’t help them?

Looking at the map and based upon this population count, there’s no reason the county sheriff’s office can’t handle all policing needs of this “town.”

The forfeitures numbers are terrifying. Imagine you are on a family vacation and some small town cop decides your car and all your stuff is now their property and you have to sue to get it back.

VW sat right between Japanese and German, and Hyundai/Yugo meant you had bad credit.

COTD.

80s American cars were utter, utter shit.

Yeah, I can’t imagine any automaker doing something like that today...

Perfection

For the record, I accidentally wrote “Oil Fitler” in my initial draft, and I’m not sure why I changed it given how badly this filter wants to ruin lives.
