Base model runs about 26k.

I'm still having trouble imagining a truck carrying 3,300 pounds in the bed...

The fact that this occurred at a gas station has me wondering if this isn't more a result of improper operation of the gas pump or a buildup of fumes, rather than a defect with the vehicle itself. Though you might argue that having the engine exhaust up there on the rear of the car might be a "defect" as far as safe…

The trucker told police his brakes "gave way" as he was turning, Georgia State Police is looking into it.

Yep, and totally should have. When I make it a point to be a dick who's marked like one, I make damn sure that they won't be able to use the driver's side door.

He really could have parked a lot closer.

Gee, remember when Dodge turbocharged their car and then decided to it was too quiet? What did they do? Oh yeah, they sold it to the public without a muffler. Same problem, totally other end of the awesome spectrum with their solution.

Can you enjoy the engine sound if you know it's not real, and being piped in through the stereo?

Knowing your rights doesn't mean you can be a jackass, in the same way that having a badge doesn't mean you can start yelling at a person like a drill instructor giving them "orders"

Respectfully, I disagree with you on this one Torch. After watching the video, I felt like the guy filming the video actually remained relatively calm, especially since he had someone screaming in his face, which was completely unnecessary.

I know you make a joke about him repeatedly saying "Am I being detained", in…

Look. I get it, the driver was being confrontational and a douche. Zero argument. You can't defend the Statey either. It's about professionalism, to a point. I get that a cops job is way harder than a waitress' BUT (there's always a but, and excuse the simplification), if a single mom working on her third shift at a…

I think videos like this show cops who probably shouldn't have a job. If that cops gets that worked up over this, I would hate to see him in a more dangerous situation. I think undercover tests like this should be mandatory during police training because it is clear we have a problem with cops abusing their power.

He was apparently injured in the wreck and transported to a medical facility rather than having the coroner called. That tends to indicate that he was alive during transport to the medical facility. Anything to the contrary is pure speculation on your part with little ground to stand on. Generally, I could not give…

Why would you have to notify the police? It's a civil matter, not a criminal one. It also happened on a track, not on a public road.

Let me help my fellow Jalops here. I drive a lot of military grade cars @ CCC. What I've learned in the decade of Classic Car Club life is that speed is a relative thing. Straight runs on public roads... there's no need to go super fast. You just attract unwanted attention. take bends, find the joys in exit…

Yes okay I block middle of road here, you block left side of road 200 meters behind me, and Kennith, you block right side of road 300 meters behind him. He can never make thorough this road block. Is fool proof.

I have to agree with this one beyond all the rest. The tire is where your car meets the road. They are how it accelerates, how its stops, how it maneuvers - going cheap on tires is quite literally the worst possible choice a car driver can make in the regular maintenance of their vehicle. Driving with crappy tires…

One of the more memorable quotes from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, referred to as "Sam Vines Theory of Economic Injustice," culminates in the following: "But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry…

This one comes with a caveat - liquor. If you're drinking to get blasted, it probably doesn't matter much. But, if you're drinking socially, or to actually ENJOY what you're drinking, get the good stuff

Seconded.
