Cars of people who most often bear the brunt of law enforcement action. The poor mostly. Find a joint? Seize the car. Gun without a permit? Seize the car. Over your bag limit with wild game? Seize the truck.

Engine covers many more things than “motors”. As from the original root “ingenuity”, you properly name things like Babbage’s Difference Engine and Analytical Engine, not to mention, of course, Google’s Search Engine.

When I was a kid, I couldn’t take anything hot. When we went to a Mexican restaurant, I couldn’t even handle the salsa. Finally, getting tired of eating dry tortilla chips, I willed myself to learn to love heat. I started by scarfing down my burgers or other sandwiches with a single pickled jalapeno pepper. Then I…

No. America has successfully transitioned from having government servants whose function was ‘to keep the peace’, to having a cadre of shock troops who reign terror on the subjects under the guise of ‘enforcing the law’. It seems in function, they are little different from the ED-209 in Robocop.

Pull the negative lead on the battery, especially if you are not using an insulated tool. In this moment of stress, he could have easily caused another fire (or a nasty shock) at the back of the car.

Nevermind. Bitten by the Kinja infinite page “feature”.

“How is it possible, in America?” said Potter’s wife, Carolina. “A truck sitting there for eight months? He could have been found a lot sooner if everybody had done their job.”

WWJNTB? What would Jesus’ Nurburgring time be?

It’s not the worst thing I’ve ever seen. If you buy this, please own it. Don’t pretend its real, and don’t pretend its better. Tell people that you went for this until you are successful enough for a real one.

I think it serves a dual purpose. Under acceleration, the door won’t spring open and dump crap all over the interior either.

That’s the first thing that came to my mind. Perhaps a BUSA?

I’m trying to understand how you jump to the conclusion that the car had insurance? What if the man didn’t have comprehensive insurance? You have no option but to keep the car in that case, even if it is “totaled”. Then you get to try to fix it, or part it out. The asshole in the truck is likely responsible, and in…

There’s a legal term for this, look it up. Bailment. It’s transferring possession without transferring ownership. When you drop your car off, you are transferring possession. Unless you have signed some kind of contract outlining what they may do with your car, then you really have no say. It’s like if you loan your…

The Aldi in my area started accepting credit at the beginning of the year. It’s my go-to place for bread. You can get white bread, hotdog buns and hamburger buns for 88c a package or less...and the quality is good. Much better than the higher priced “Price First” Walmart trash bread.

These issues are taken care of very easily, but expensively.

If the place was that hard to navigate, I think I’d invest in 4 hydraulic jack wheel dollies. Raise the car up on swivel casters and push it in whatever direction you need to.

While I’m glad this car exists, it was a very poor investment. I remember test driving one at the dealer and I recall the sticker price was $32K and change. Getting $40K 15 years later is just about the same return you would have gotten by putting the money in the bank at 1%. I won’t even calculate what the return…

Call me odd. I don’t think the car is so pretty. It looks lumpy in a Germanic sort of way. My doctor uncle owned a green convertible Karmann Ghia and I remember one time he stuffed me and my cousin in the tiny rear area while he took us along with my dad on a housecall. (Doctors used to do that.)

So are the plaintiffs’ lawyers also being compensated in sunglasses? (I rather doubt it.)

I’m going to attempt to drive up to see it. 3 hours under normal traffic conditions. I’m going to allow 12 hours. If I miss this one, there’s always the April 8, 2024 Eclipse that will cut through Texas, Arkansas, the Midwest and New York.
