Tried it. There's a little evidence for the claim you explained on your first comment, re: hazard lights. However, more recent study shows one is still better off being highly visible. CHP ought to update themselves.

Jason, you should get the spare out and ready to switch BEFORE jacking up the vehicle, because you don't want to mess around or shift around the vehicle's weight, while it's up in the air. I think you didn't mention that right.

Yeah, the tip is: don't do it on a hill. It's cheaper to replace the entire wheel than pay for your funeral. Just drive to a different spot or get a tow truck to move you.

Do you recall when/where you read this study regarding CHP? I'd like to read it.

Yeah, it is a good idea to find this out before you ever need it.

Wrong. Jalops are all for enjoying the ride, including following most laws, not acting like assholes. And we love a good video where asshats get their due punishments.

Yeah. Best is to just shit self. At least you can keep it private for a little while and call a trusted friend to bring clothes and money to bribe someone into letting you use their bathroom to clean up.

It looks really nice, but the shop forgot to put the steering wheel on the correct side. :-)

That's a bit scary, stalkery.

Okay, fine, I looked it up. It was a Gizmodo article he wrote. http://gizmodo.com/5991476/the-in…

He does. He explained about a year or two ago how he's got a whole media setup in his house with a million cables. If I wasn't a lazy shit, I'd look it up and link it to here, but I am, in fact, a lazy shit.

Well, at least it's going to get people into something better, hopefully with some incentives.

At the dealer level? I'm talking about the manufacturer trying to do it, though I wouldn't be surprised if dealers are involved.

Might it not be cheaper, or at least easier, for manufacturers to just offer new replacement vehicle discounts to existing owners? If I owned one of these vehicles, I think I'd hop to an opportunity to switch up to something new (with a significant discount) and get rid of the troubled one. The manufacturer could…

You might gain an extra mile of travel for every twenty gallons of gas, if you removed the spare tire. Keep your spare.

Fines only punish the poor, because the middle-class and rich can afford them. Jail is more fair, because it affects everyone.

As a member of the Illuminati, I will vouch for you being a non-member.

Cross shop by enlisting friends to do the talking and initial inquiries in their names.

You're right. I'd just add that a 0% loan is even better than paying cash, because while you're earning some interest along the way with a sound, conservative investment, you're ALSO helping maintain or improve your credit score. That boost in credit score can help fund other purchases or make projects more…

Blame it on the dog.
