The gates are designed to be flimsy for just this situation. Cars are supposed to be able to break them easily if need be.

Some people just freeze up in high stress situations. Their minds literally can't accept what is happening as its happening. Check out Amanda Ripley's book The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes - and Why. She researched a number of disasters to figure out why some people survive and some don't. It's…

I was going to say the same thing. A lot of Europeans, and it seems Brits in particular, don't really have a sense of how huge this country and how much of it was developed after the car was invented.

I would probably add get the vehicle manual out to step four. If you have no clue what you're doing it will save you some time finding the jack and proper jack points.

Look at the price difference between the two lists. A lot of young inexperienced drivers are just looking for the cheapest car, like a Chevy aveo, to get them from A to B because thats their only option. Not too many kids in the 16-20 year old range can afford a Mercedes or an Audi.

I think this is the only appropriate uniform for this type of activity.

Do seriously believe the only thing Paterno knew about was that one instance? Sandusky was widely considered to be his successor until suddenly he wasn't, and then he "retired" from coaching when he could have easily gone to another program. Paterno basically fired him and forced him out of coaching. You're being…

I so miss bench seats. I spent months trying to find a full size pickup with a front bench seat a couple years ago. None to be found. I'll never understand why a pickup needs a center console.

Re: smoking cops, I know a fair number that did drugs prior to becoming cops but most of them figure its not worth it once they actually become cops. Also, just because weed is legal in a particular state, that doesn't mean you can't get fired for smoking it.

If you buy carryout beer from a bar, pizza joint, etc,,, you're limited to 192 ounces per transaction. Meaning 2 six packs, 4 4o's,,, you get the picture. If you want more, you have to leave the premises, come back in (without your recently purchased beer) and start a new transaction. Economically it makes more sense…

A friend in college had a first generation Festiva and it was one of the most fun cars to drive around the city. It was like a big go kart. I loved that thing.

Even though the coffee guy was definitely an asshole, that barista does sound pretty obnoxious. Which is more approachable? Seriously?

So it wasn't "yet ready for sale" and then it's not for sale. Why does the dealer have it then? Is it just going to sit in their lot?

Pointing out someone's own blatant hypocrisy in a (very) humorous manner is not the same as insulting them.

How does he insult republicans?

Hopefully he never has to replace the giant windshield. That's a big reason why they depreciated so quickly, the windshields cost a fortune.

I'm not a racer but I'm curious, was either driver at fault here?

I'm with ya. Looks good to me.

Try red onion instead of yellow. It's not as harsh as raw yellow onion. You can also rinse the onion in water right after you chop it. It'll still be oniony but it takes away some of the bite.
