Man this could very well have happened to anyone. Glad he got out okay.

lol it is because of my once daily commute on Amtrak that I can fall asleep on any moving vessel. My wife is jealous that on an airplane ride, I’m asleep before takeoff.

I used to commute from Philadelphia to New York via Amtrak. Along the Northeast corridor (basically from Washington to Boston), service is generally pretty good (with occasional exceptions of course). Whenever there was a disruption, if I ever wanted to keep my experience in context, all I needed to do is look at the…

I could see it being worth something for being in the movie (a movie that introduced me to Tucker when it came out), but 100K?

Bumper sticker seen on a Jeep Wrangler:

Oooh that’s an 8 series. I heart them.

Jealous that I didn’t think of this.

10 years later, more than ever.

lol the first day back from my honeymoon, my wife clipped the garage pulling out with my Genesis sedan. I insisted that she drive it because I wanted her to know I trusted her with my “baby” at the time.

They’re still running that ad- I saw it just last week.

Correction, I guess he wasn’t from Spain; not sure why my memory retained it as such.

Oooh this is a great choice.

I’d put higher odds on that Opel Buick reaching 300K miles than an Outback.

The brand Mercedes is named after the daughter of one of the Spanish financiers/founders of the company; it was a popular name in Spain hundreds of years before it became an automobile brand.

I didn’t know the model, but I was guessing around 1993.

You know what? I got a good night’s sleep last night and I was feeling particularly optimistic about humanity, and was thus going to try to at least defend how it could be possible for that to happen, until I watched the video... That is one dumb MF.

I rented one of these in that exact color while in Philadelphia on business around that time. Once you got used to the high center of gravity (it was my first time driving an SUV), it wasn’t a bad vehicle. I was particularly impressed with its performance in light snow on the PA Turnpike as it was much heavier than…

With regards to the car that was hit, to their credit they weren’t hogging the passing lane for no reason.

Yeah I wanted my Grandparents to replace their Mark V with one of these! It also came in 2 door form, and to me that one was kind of ugly.

Have you ever seen an air suspension which didn’t have problems after a few years?
