***What a great day; sitting up front with the cool kids. Couldn't possibly get any better. OOoohh; unless I get to fire someone later! Oh, yeah... living the dream, baby! Boom!***

My answer: a coal powered train loaded with all my cars. Get to a new town, unload a car, drive it 'til it breaks. Also, there'd need to be a dining/beverage car on the train. And whiskey barrels. And guns & explosives for retiring broken cars.

Every NHTSA administrator and Transpo secretary has a hard on for some kind of public safety campaign. In the past it was drunk driving and, more recently, it was distracted cell phone/texting driving. The cause of the moment for new NHTSA chief Mark Rosekind appears to be drowsy driving.

This ALWAYS happens to me. I'm an independent casino rep, and sometimes I go on trips with my gamblers. I never guess correctly!

I say this because I used to be one of these middle schoolers. Back when I was a wee lad of merely 13 or 14, I joined a car forum and told everyone that I was actually a guy in his thirties who owned an oil field and drove a wide variety of cool cars.

A truly (not relatively) inexpensive new car that has zero amenities and meets the bare minimum of safety standards. I think you should be able to buy a simple car with no radio, M/T, manual everything, and styling from 1982 for well under $10k.

This proves that a gift's meaning depends solely on the recipient. If ANYONE were to give me Miata cookies, I'd be in heaven, mostly because that would mean someone cares enough about me to know what I like. If I were to give these to any of my non-Jalop friends, they would stop talking to me. If I gave them to my…

Looks like a TMNT to me, especially in red.

Your PS4 doesn't count.

Why did black cars get the works?

My personal rule is "NEVER be rude to the last person that sees your food before you do".

Google wants you to ride around in its little driverless pod car things. Isn't that nice? But, in order to build them, they are partnering with a number of companies in Michigan, including some that you'll be very familiar with.
