Where I live the cops don’t bother to come if your car gets broken into...

Why is it that the interior shot is the only one not taken at a janky angle?

I see what you did there...

They’d probably transfer her to another facility with the appropriate accommodations. I served on a Tico class cruiser in the mid 90's. We once had a 1st Class Petty Officer transferred over to our ship from the carrier. (My guess would be that their brig was full.) If I recall correctly, the female, junior…

I’ve driven in 38 of the lower 48 states. So far the worst stretch that I’ve driven, is either I-40 between West Memphis, Arkansas and OKC (while I was driving, I was also apparently asleep, as I remember having vivid dreams) and I-16 between Savannah and Macon, GA.

We have a white ‘09 Jetta SE and a black‘12 Passat SE, and last summer I sold my burgundy ‘97 MKIII Jetta GLS to another VW guy in town.

To be fair to other car fans, we also have a ‘98 Saturn, and until we bought the ‘09, (which lead to a almost complete turnover in cars) we had 2 VW’s, 2 Chevy’s and 2 Dodge’s. The…

I saute mine in butter with kosher salt and coarse ground black pepper.

Damn, you’re from Topeka and also drive a VW... What are the odds?

I’d love to find a Daytona with a decent engine.

The wife’s truck needs it.

I like the “el camino” version better....

8 minutes of hail is nothing. We once had a 45 minute hailstorm in Topeka.

Thankfully it was all pea gravel sized hail.

20 year old plastic tends to get a bit brittle...

I looked at the Transit PowerWagon... The reat seats were military aircraft grade. Uncomforable, metal and cloth and cheap as hell.

Don’t forget that in Topeka, stop signs are optional, at a 4 way stop everyone sits there trying to motion the other guy on, there are a number of intersections were one road has a yield and the other is unmarked, and there are a few intersections with absolutely no markings. (Though thankfully the one yield and…

My mom’s side of the family was a Ford family. Grandpa had owned a late 60's, mid 70's and two early 80's LTD’s. My mom, followed the tradition with an early 70's Pinto, a mid 70's Mustang (4 cylinder), an inline 6, 1980 Fairmont (which I learned to drive in), and both a first gen and second gen Tempo. By the time…

Forget the Quest, I miss my Previa!

For a few years (2006-2010) I lived in Plano, Texas. It amazed me the number of kids driving AMG’s, M-badged or S-badged cars to high school. In part, becuase most of them were not only cost more that MY car, but most of them cost more than my first house.

Note: my car at the time was a ‘97 Jetta GLS (middle tier, oh…

Funny story... Back in the days when I lived in a small rural Texas town (pop. 685), we decided to install a fence in the back yard... I asked one of the guys in the city office for the number to call. To this day, I will swear that he said 800-DIG-TEST (and not DIG-TESS). Don’t dial that number. Or you’ll hear a…

even at a young age, our middle daughter was prone to getting carsick. We had left Rome, GA, stopped in Oak Ridge, TN for work and were then heading to Eastern NC for Easter. While I was working in Oak Ridge the wife and kids grabbed lunch. When I was finished I joined them. After we ate, the middle girl had a…
