*spits* Sheeeeit, every other day I drive home and have to pick these things outta my wheel wells with a crowbar. Sometimes you find them hiding in the engine compartment, terrified, and you have to take them to a no-kill shelter to get adopted.

A 200 year old Beetle was found in Woody Allen’s ‘Sleeper’. “Wow, they really built these things.” Very funny film if you’d like comedy with your sci-fi.

Came for Biggus, am satisfied. If I get a Prius, that’s the plate I want. Biggus Prius!

A runway is a paved surface that is not a city, county, state, or federal road. Traffic laws do not apply on a runway. There are no speed limits on a runway. This is why Top Gear was filmed at an old airfield. It can be helpful to be very nice to runway owners and provide cases of booze. This is helpful information…

Military vehicles must be ‘demilitarized’ before being turned over to private buyers. In the case of a tank, this means the main gun’s breech is cut by a welding torch in three specific places, making it unable to fire a shell ever again. Any machine guns or other weapons are removed.

The highest trim level 2017 Camry has 300hp and paddle shifters. Once the rest of the clan is dropped off, time for Dad to have some fun.

I wouldn’t get a Mustang because high school is fricking over.

What’s the prize? Getting hired by a startup as an autonomous driving engineer with a $200K salary and stock options.

Seriously. The ghosts aren’t going to try to sell you scare protection and overpriced flashlight batteries. Have you heard about our 80 month haunting plan?

The buyer’s consultant fee is well worth not having to deal with the shenanigans that fill the rest of this thread. You buy your car and never set foot on a dealer lot.

Voight-Kampf test. For the sales people.

What’s really going to be nuts is bundling your family into a device whose software shipped on a specific date, not because it set records for safety and lack of defects, but because the project manager got a bonus for hitting the date.

That’s heartbreaking. I knew people would die in Hellcats, but this is more awful than I anticipated. I’m no expert, but common sense suggests a few tips.

I don’t like for people to worry about this issue too much. All of this discussion is due to another breathless NK press release. The whole point of this is negotiation with other nations as a nuclear power. NK has seen what happened to Saddam and Qaddafi, and they want to keep their thing going. Firing a real shot…

...Mercurys and Subarus, and you don’t stop - you keep on shooting’ cars!

Agreed, but they are drawn to craigslist auto listings like moths to a flame.

What is the plural of Lexus? Lexi? Lexim?

Crazy craigslist buyers, unable to discern retail from private, who have been know to demand guarantees, warrantees, and repair service from private sellers.

“OK, who’s the U-boat commander?”

The early work that went into the Crowbar’s navigation system - mostly theoretical at the time - ended up in our modern cruise missiles. Iirc Crowbar work ended when they thought about how to test it - what if it just runs off and irradiates a US city? Good call.
