Boy is this post on target. I see older guys (myself included now that I am 50) looking at lots of farings and big engines and never questioning bike weight. They have the cash, and they want the comfort. I always point out that at 30 I couldn’t have lifted the bike they are looking at, and with older joints and…

I … hang … my head … with shame.
Since I only ever think about myself, the first thing I wondered when I heard this idea was how do I exit a highway if there is a line of trucks 8 feet apart a mile long? I just don’t see how this is viable on real roads.

I see what you did there and nice.
I once had my car hit and run while I was sitting at my desk looking at it. The perpetrator was a township leaf collection truck moving at 2 MPH. I went out and spoke to the driver who denied doing it. I said that I watched him do it. He said no and drove away. I walked aside him and told him that if he left it was a…
Whenever I think about those Lunar Excursion Modules, all I picture in my head is my grand father’s Grumman canoe.
Hmm, I think that you were supposed to get “Madam, Madam, please move your car,” Not sir. I guess that AMC was marketing this as the second car in the family back in the 70's, while the husband was driving his Lincoln, when it ran.
Sigh. It’s a reference to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, but I did read it when I was twelve. However, I stand behind my disdain for the marketing department of the Mercedes Benz corporation, bunch of mindless jerks.
Well as we all know, the marketing department of the Daimler Benz corporation are a bunch of mindless jerks who will be first against the wall when the revolution comes. And as LJK Setright said more than once, they are the only ones who believe that the Germans invented the car, not to take anything away from Benz’s…
It always pained my when my British friends would send me to bar and ask for a Bud or a Rolling Rock. I mean all that good beer on tap, and Bud, really?
It is hard for me to think of the Le Mans winning GT40 as an American car. it was a British built effort funded by Ford. If they had designed the thing in Dearborn OK, but they didn’t. I would guess that this is a nod to one of the greatest cars the British ever built.
As a Gen Xer who went to more than a dozen Dead shows over his life, you know EXACTLY the guy we are talking about. Which means that when I was bitching him out about his music it was not the music that upset me, it was him and his hypocrisy, selfishness, and just boorish behavior that all came spewing out of me after…
Some people are freaking crazy. Your story reminds me of a neighbor I had in Syracuse. Every Saturday my house mate would park his car on the street instead of the driveway because it was easier running in and out. It was legal to do so on Saturdays. Every week a cop car would pull up, look at it and drive away. It…
Having lived in several neighborhoods in Philadelphia, this is about par for the course. Every street has one guy who thinks he is the parking authority, puts his lawn furniture out to reserve “his” space, takes a baseball bat to the windshield of any car that he doesn’t recognize. Yeah, good times. I miss…
Better than him running for President … schmuck.
There is such a lack of education if anyone can advocate what ostensibly are forced labor camps, gulags, and death camps.
Ding. Ding, Ding, Ding. You win the cookie. Dead right.
Which most likely makes the tickets unenforceable so they aren’t being nice by letting people out of them in court. They are being jerks for issuing a ticket that you have to dispute to get out of it. They could have issued warnings that no one would have to answer, and they would have the same teaching effect. This…
Writing a ticket that you have to dispute and have thrown out in traffic court is ridiculous. They could have just written warnings, which no one would have had to answer. It has been about fifteen years since I was an art mover driving in a truck almost every day in Mid-town Manhattan, but I wouldn’t do that job with…
