yeah, that’s definitely part of it. There’s also a psychological factor where you don’t care much about a $1000 option on a $40K car but if you looked at buying a standalone device for $500, you’d spend a lot of decision time. Then you invest way more time and effort on spending $5 vs 28 cents.

Not bad. And true. But I suspect there may be a caveman psychology answer.

That is a rational answer.  Why does paying $5 total for a bolt drive me more nuts than the long drive?

I think the entire length of that ramp is a gravel pit. An 80K lb tractor-trailer is stuck - hence the $4-10K needed to get it out. The rig is not coming out just by putting it in reverse.

“Because the ultimate Dumb Guy goal is absolute power”

yeah, why is attractive to dogs? It’s not like the dog poop in the yard that mine likes so much. $800 later, I finally learned to store it out of reach.

Every other weekend is in the divorce settlement between BeastMoe and JLynnDC

I’ve gotten to the point where it feels weird and uncomfortable to sleep without the guard. If my dentist told me I didn’t need it anymore, at this point I’d still wear it.

How are they going to pay for their yacht if they can’t sell you a cardiac bypass or knee replacement? Their kids are going to have to go to public schools on the profit from selling you preventative healthcare.

I wouldn’t mind seeing that video. I think he was introduced to her as a puppy so her being alpha would be believable.

Wolf-dog at a sanctuary. Very sweet and loves human contact. His mate’s behavior is more wolf-like; won’t come near when sanctuary volunteers enter their habitat.

shucks, can’t fool you!

oh come on, go for it. They love belly rubs:

oh boy. I think I’ll just stay in my house and never go out again. Until I too, am 85 years old (won’t be long) and then I’ll pick up driving again.

That actually may have been a better result for the community at large, if not for the old lady. A car blocking everyone may have resulted in the police being called. If not for this incident but perhaps over multiple incidents, either the authorities or her family may realize that she should not be driving.

Unfortunately, the guy who parked the de Ville was a misguided enabler even if he meant well.

My fav Catholic Girls:

I like both MR2 gens. And the NSX. And have sat in both of those. My eyes are at the level of the top of the windshield frame. I’m only 5'9" but long torso and long head make me the equivalent of 6'4" from the hips up. Two grand is a good upper limit for any car IMO. (I’d stretch that for an Esprit).

You just don’t get that low and wide sense from photos. Even the photos in this article. Your photo showing it next to something else is good.
