Back in 1978, I was 16 years old and worked at the J.C. Penney Auto Center as a pump jockey. This was during one of the odd-even license plate periods, so you could only fill up on the day that matched your license plate. There were long lines - 100s of cars long on some days. Me and my coworker would stand there and…

One diesel engine, used on occasion during peak periods, seems reasonable to take 98 gas cars (at a time) off the road. Over a full 24-hour period, this could easily be over 1000 cars being recharged.

Been there, done that... except I was listening to Johnny Cash.

Or break the law.

Is Trump living rent-free in your head?  This isn’t about Trump, he isn’t relevant to the story.  Not everything is political... seek help!

Lower the road bed... a lot cheaper than raising a rail bridge.

Nonsense. Guns have been more available in the past than they are today. We used to be able to buy military surplus rifles from a barrel in Sears or Pep Boys without any ID, background checks, or waiting periods - and this stuff didn’t happen with anywhere near the same frequency as it does today.

My 88 Mustang GT had the same ridiculous 85 mph speedo. It would bury the speedometer in 3rd gear! So while I was deployed, and the car was in the loving care of my mom, I told her to go to the Ford dealer and have them install the police speedometer. It cost about $250 back then, and they even put a sticker on the…

Aren’t most car batteries Lithium-Ion? Given the volatility (ignitability?) of those batteries, I can imagine having a battery swap station with, say 100 of these batteries charging would require some significant safety precautions. And since the logical and practical place to put these swap stations would be at…

It makes sense. As anyone who watches “Chicago PD” on TV knows, all the cops drive Hellcat powered cars and SUVs.

That’s the second car to burn that I’ve heard since this started.

If only the Biden proposal had anything to do with infrastructure. The GOP bill has 4x as much construction at about 1/2 the price. The balance of the Dem bill is payback to various constituents and unions.

Wow, lotta anti-cop speak in that rant. Do you realize that a vehicle stop is the most dangerous act a cop does - except perhaps domestic violence calls?

And everyone that was opposed to the train was thrown into a reeducation center or prison. Yeah, I’m not all in on the China worshipping going on in here.

They already have declared general average.

I remember when I upgraded TO a cassette from the venerable 8-track. I thought it was incredible, and it solved the ever-present issues of 8-tracks getting eaten. Cassettes had the problem as well, but they were much easier to put a pencil in the gear and wind them back up. The odds of salvaging an 8-track were…

“Disrupting the status quo” by blocking roads gets you 90 seconds on the evening news, but it fails to accomplish what you are trying to do - win supporters. Keeping ten thousand people stuck in their car because you think they need to understand your cause isn’t likely to win over many to your cause... probably just…

That is dangerously close to shore... the swing circle of the anchor would put the stern aground. Perhaps they are have a stern anchor deployed... but what a mess.

Thousands of owners can attest all they want. I want to know that if my son is rear ended by a Tesla, it won’t result in him dying because either the driver is watching a movie, or the battery started a four hour fire that the fire department literally had to call Tesla to find out how to extinguish it.

The tree gets Best Supporting Actor at most!
