Apparently the NY plan I signed up for has a $1 per month service fee. It’s particularly annoying because they mail me a physical statement each month to notify me of the fee.

I forgot about that part in my rant, you’re right. Toll-by-plate by mail is entirely an inefficient solution.

Eh, I’m not convinced, I find the toll-by-plate systems BS. Now I’ve got to have an EZ-PASS account for PA, NY, and MA to drive from Philly to Boston and not get jerked on the tolls. And the NY one is BS, they charge a monthly maintenance fee on it. And the NY one won’t let me register all my cars on one account, so…

So you get my respect and appreciation for posting the screenshots. I’ve tried, I just can’t see it. I do see the hood flex when the passenger side front wheel punches up the body panel.

You can absolutely watch the whole car flex when it hits.

Agreed, I didn’t say it wasn’t totaled, I just wonder if the frame was bent or if all suspension was completely destroyed and took a bunch of panels with it.  The car is done.

The car is bent. The door made contact with the rear quarter. It being a convertible thats the only way that could happen.

thanks for the link. I’m not sure if that is really evidence of frame damage or not. The car only hit on the sprung wheels. Yes, the wheels clearly travelled further than the normal suspension limits (that’s why the front fender is cracked and I think it also explains why the rear fender to door is now misaligned).

I’m assuming they mean back and forth rocking, not the up-down type of vibration.

This. They had one job and screwed it up royally. This is not some sort of subtle crack they missed. Missing this crack is pure negligence.

Yeah, the analogy would be more like, I’ve already got a personal chef travelling with me (my phone) and you want me to pay for a fancy breakfast?  Nope.

Came here for this.  I’m just upset he’s driving a Ford and not a Chevy!

Aston Martin DB 9 is the same. Battery is under the rear passenger side seat. Trunk has a battery disconnect button and also a dedicated 12V receptacle for a float charger. Engine has a post for jump starting the car. It’s not a bad setup , it’s pretty easy to get to the battery , just velcro for the seat and then a…

The sides of the canal are not vertical, they are sloped.

Dang it, you beat me to it. My caption was going to be “Nah, I’ve got a better way”

Does anyone have the map coordinates for this turnaround for the satellite image? I’m willing to bet it is not for people that want to turnaround , but rather there is an offramp exit located on the mountainside of the highway and it was easier to install the turnaround and have everyone exit from the inland side of…

Kinja needs to fix the page formatting, the “around the Web” box is completely covering the comments and I cannot read any of them...

Seems like you are being willfully or deliberately ignorant. There is plenty of easy to find analysis of how a large number of people do not have photo ID in the US, why it may not be easy to get when you are poor, and how people of color are disproportionally impacted / lack ID.

You were close, it is about capabilities, but not about the runway size.
