Remember: you can only tie the record for flying low.
Not insensitive, but it is because the act of panhandling is speech, or "assertive conduct" which counts as the same thing. That is why most cities deal with this through loitering laws. (Which is why the homeless all go to parks, which are designed for loitering, making enforcement very tricky.)
Woah! You're going to make some Nissan Leaf owner's head explode if you start talking actual carbon footprint as opposed to imagined carbon footprint.
Don't screw this up for us. It is all part of the plan: "Oh you want me to load the dishwasher, honey? Not if you don't want the kitchen on fire. That deck needs to be refinished? Maybe we should call a contractor, since the last time I did work out there I opened a vortex to hell. I think it would be safer for…
And then the bureaucrats don't understand why no one likes them and wants them to go away.
Worst (non-LeMons car) spoiler ever.
True, but the ones that stay often end up as bartenders and servers for a while, which is really nice when I come back to visit mom. Now they are starting to be the restaurant managers and owners, so it feels way less shady when they comp stuff. (Ironically, I'm much better suited to actually pay for it now.)
Longboards is a good deal if you know the server from high school and they have poor math skills in terms of adding up the bill.
It offends me that they chose Hiroshima Day to do it. That was OUR day. (too soon?)
Some do, some don't. I've been ticketed for illegally parking in a loading zone. (In CA you can walk away from your car for up to 10 minutes at a white zone.) When I came back to find the officer ticketing the car, and showed him on my phone the VC section, he called it in to check, and tore up the ticket. Not…
Didn't anyone pay attention during Spider-Man?
After reading that, I'm thinking about walking in and hugging my boss because I don't have that job. I hope that bloke in the photo is compensated appropriately.
The i3 feels like a gimmick because it is. Car companies want to appeal to the vocal greenies (eg: celebrities that need to feel good about themselves) so they crap out a few electric modifications of their existing platforms. But because they are really only conversions, they all kind of suck. (I recognize the…
This is a pretty common scam. They'll grab pics from one ad which is legit, and then use them in another area to try and run a "send me $1000 and I'll ship you the car" scam. This is why if you ever see a car that is at a too good to be true price, you should run a google image search and see if it comes up in CL…
I have to second the Xterra. I bought a 2004 new (0.0% financing(!) back before the student loans for grad school ruined my credit) and swapped the tires for BFG ATs, and that thing drove over almost everything I threw at it. I put 130,000 miles on it, and nothing but oil, brakes and tires had to be done to it. …
His vigilante work is really slowing down, and for the better. What's next? Vigilante parking ticket writer in Malibu? /flameon
Still not impressed, but here it is on the website, at listed MSRP and without $10,000 of carbon wrapper on it: Stock no D0138185
I have to agree here. I know they didn't have fire suits to keep the heat off, but I like to think that if I ever found myself in that situation I'd pull my jacket over my head, and push on that car until my arms were too burnt to push anymore. Because if I didn't, I'm not sure I'd ever be able to look at myself in…
