Right, weight and mileage.  Somewhat selfishly, I drive a heavy GTO, but I’d be lucky if I drive it 1000 miles in a year.  I don’t want to be paying the same guzzler tax that Billy Bob who drives their F350 to work and back every day.

A typo on the state is a mistake. Seeing “no information” and jumping directly to “it must be stolen” is a choice to escalate the situation to a level that isn’t appropriate.

But WHY did they conclude it was stolen if when running the plate it comes back with “no information?”

Not only that, apparently he ran the plate and it came back as invalid, not stolen.

From what I recall in another article, he ran the plate and it didn’t even come up as stolen, it came up as invalid, likely because the states use a different numbering format.  So it comes up as invalid and he jumps to the “it must be stolen” mode.

I kind of think fuel tax should be variable based on weight. Kind of combine your first two points. It’d probably be tough to implement, though.  Drive heavy and drive a lot?  It hurts extra.  Don’t drive much, it won’t hurt so much.

Kind of did something similar.  Country road at night in the rain with a friend.  Car ahead slammed on their brakes for what was probably a deer.  I did as well, except apparently there was something up with my brakes, so the rears locked and it started to rotate instantly and hard.  I saved it and straightened it out…

Long ago, maybe a senior in high school, I had an 86 Monte Carlo. You know, still RWD. I had a couple of friends with me and we went to a movie theater one night when it was snowing pretty good, so there was practically no one there. Nearing where I wanted to park, I pulled the wheel and stabbed the throttle a bit and…

Nothing other than whatever might have been blocking the lane. This was like a 3 mile stretch leading into downtown Minneapolis. I go into work pretty early, so traffic was never an issue at that time of morning and never saw anyone using it when the lane was closed, except after the lights quit working and people…

Haven’t Wranglers been too expensive for what you get for a couple decades?

Not only that, but they got the superpowers just because they got some DNA from the people, which seems incredibly stupid to me. For some of them, it’s a genetic thing like Drax, OK fine. But you’re not going to convince me you can get Captain Marvels powers with a couple drops of blood from her, or even buckets of…

And why the hell did Fury need 3 separate compartments for all that stuff?  He coat is big, OK.  The gun and eye patch couldn’t fit together in one?

This along with a headline I saw about using Ms. Marvel actress to keep continuity straight isn’t a good look.  I get it.  There’s a bunch of movies, but it isn’t like Star Trek or something that spans hundreds of episodes over decades to keep track of.  I mean, even if you can’t be bothered to have someone directly…

Plus, Secret Invasion establishes that the skrull rebellion didn’t start until after Endgame!

No one’s going to go out there and drag cones around a few times a day.  I think before they added that, it was just signs above the lane showing what the cost was to use the lane at that particular time and if it was closed it’d say it’s closed and say to merge over.  Continuing down the closed lane isn’t going to…

Except in MN it hasn’t been hot all that long. In fact, while parts of the country were boiling, we had unusually low temps, like days with highs in the 70s. It only started to get hot this week where it didn’t hit 90 until Monday.

Maybe if they were just buying a ticket for a chance to win, but this sounds like people are to pay normal prices for other figures and one of them is going to “randomly” win.  

When I see people talking about adding charging networks under the road surface for electric cars always makes me shudder because of this.  Not that long ago, when they added the carpool lane going north into downtown Minneapolis on 35, they had strips of lights built into the road to act as temporary lane lines…

Maybe it’s just me, but mid to upper 90s doesn’t seem like EXTREME to me. It’s not like 90s are an abnormality for mid-summer temps in MN and roads failing at the higher end of the temps isn’t all that uncommon either.

Hopefully it won’t take 10 years to repurpose the IMAX theater there that got shut down a few years ago.
