Ah, Steve! Good to see you walked, or should I say, rode away from a crash that was bad enough to concuss you!

If they ever break ground on the project they’ll lay some utilities and roads and then investors will start to pull out when it goes over schedule and over budget.

Worst case scenario is that they just build a large HOA community, while still providing a bunch of new houses. Better case scenario is that they provide a shit-load of new houses in an area that desperately needs them - they can’t do it and probably don’t want to, but San Francisco would benefit enormously if that…

100% Agreed. I read the title was prepared to be mad at the insurance company, but after seeing the photo, I get it.

Someone needs to tell his insurance company that it’s the ‘59-’63's that are unsafe at any speed, not his ‘66.

In California you can put a car on “non-op” for like $19 so you don’t have to pay the yearly registration fees.

Not a bad price for a miata in 2023

DC is going through an epidemic of this right now. Gangs will literally roam one of the main thoroughfares in stolen cars, send in minors to CVS stores to rob (not shoplift, rob), and then skedaddle.

A Lot of gangs will use minors to do stuff like this because of minor sentencing if they are caught. My city has a huge problem with car break-ins and car jackings currently. Many are being done by minors 

When I was stranded by Southwest after Christmas this year, I took a Megabus back to Houston and spent $43.00. It wasn’t horrible but it certainly was not my preferred way to spend 6 hours.

Since “typical” bus riders are now sitting around me on planes, I can only imagine the kind of creature that now rides buses.

The first time I rode Greyhound was my last. This is bad for those who need it, but it truly is hell on wheels. 

which is like 85% of the time in these never ending zones. 

I came to say the same thing.  It is ridiculous that the reduced speed limits for construction remain in effect even when there are no workers working.

Exactly. It’s a “boy who cried wolf” effect. You see a work zone sign, then you drive and drive and drive with no sign of any roadwork, you assume maybe somebody forgot to take a sign down or something. Then you come around a corner and suddenly there’s a flagger there. The sign should be no more than half a mile from…

Make workzones smaller. When you see miles of highway blocked off works, but no sign of the works, then people learn to ignore the signs. Same as when you see workzones with nobody working at all, much less in just a small part. People, mostly(standard muh freedumbs crowd disclaimer), don’t mind slowing down and…

I have nothing against automatic ticketing in construction zones, JUST TURN THE FUCKING CAMERAS OFF WHEN NOBODY IS WORKING.

Or at least not during rush hour.  Maybe pull those operations to only things that can be done further from traffic

it would server both the general population and workers better if the construction and lane closures could be done at night. 

If you are speeding through a school zone...are you going to stop for a red light you know is there just to annoy you for speeding? It’s going to take people a week to figure out that they can just blow through the light. Sure, they can enforce it as a red light but they could also enforce the school zone, which has…
