This. I lived on a channel off the end of a lake for a while, the end of the channel had a spring. My buddy discovered the fun of that one when on a snowmobile, fortunately he was able to give it the beans to keep a float until he found solid ice.

I’m a gun owner, and I use it for target shooting and I sometimes take it into the mountains for large animal protection if I’m alone (I also carry bear spray as a first line of defense). I’m also a very even keeled person, not prone to emotional outbursts. But even I know that carrying a weapon daily only makes this…

If she had lost her balance and fallen off the car - into the water, possibly injuring herself in the process - she’d have complicated the task of the people coming to help her.

That was my thought exactly. Like, she’s already out of the car and just standing there waiting for help. Who cares if she took a selfie?

This. That’s how an old friend of mine lost his father.

Not like there was much else she could do in that situation. Might as well document it. 

That first millimeter of movement is probably like seeing your newborn child for the first time.

Buy me a drink first and I may tell you. 

I mean, nothing gives you the right to attack someone online because of trivial matters. You can have a discussion about those topics without trying to hurt the other person as well.

I hate that the internet gives perceived anonymity so people don’t think to check themselves before they spew vitriol.

If I had to be shipwrecked with one of them I’d choose Elon. Somebody is definitely going to come looking for him.

Looks like a Nova going down the highway.

Check your Safety Wire

It’s the bare minimum you can do to prevent other drivers from causing accidents because they are not paying attention.

Can’t tell us???? Don’t you log all the inspections, or at least log any issues found?  Hard to believe.

MT and AT tires suck in snowy conditions and even more so in icy conditions compared to actual snow/winter tires. I have snow rated ATs and they are barely acceptable on snowy roads, I’d much prefer actual snow tires. That little snowflake on the tire doesn’t really mean all that much. Lots of truck/jeep people don’t…

Agreed. Nothing except an aircraft D-check would have caught this.

Having been through Germany’s TÜV inspection, I’m certain it would not have prevented this failure.

If I got even a fraction of the dollars people claim journalists are paid off, I wouldn’t need to work so hard. Eat shit.

Your entire argument falls apart by arguing that humanity would not be stupid as fuck. Have you looked out of your window lately?
