Seriously. That car is CP at 1/10 of the price.

She responded that she doesn’t like not being in control. . .

I feel weird about looking through windows to check if cars are stick or auto.

Plus once we explained our situation they not only gave us full access to all of the tools they had in their store they actually came outside and gave us a hand as workload permitted. Those guys are still the reason why even if it costs a little more I try to shop at AutoZone first.

“Inflammable means flammable? What a language!”

Well clearly it’s an Act Of God

$8500 a year is the average yearly cost of owning an automobile?

These are trucks that sticker for $60,000+ and serve as regular passenger vehicles instead of work trucks.

Beyond that cash grabbing reason there are a few places where you can see that idiots hit walls and shit so they put them in private parking spots and parking garages where the average driver is likely to mess up.

Commercial air travel coast-to-coast is going to take a lot more than 6 hours. Security screening, boarding, delays, lines, etc..... better figure 3 to 4 additional hours to be safe. And that’s if you can fly direct. Depending on departure and arrival, at least one layover is quite likely.

Adding some ballast in the back of the car for the dyno runs may help with the traction issues.

Here’s the thing. That snake in the picture is a garter snake. They are the snake equivalent of a tiny, fluffy kitten.

Having two people gyrating on each other seems to be impractical.

Why would I care one bit if my neighbor had a shiny red firetruck, or a big green military truck in his driveway?

Then you have to start asking very hard questions like:

Well, I’ve had far more training and have far better reactions that grandma all the time. So...shouldn’t my .04 BAC diminished reactions still put me in a much safer place to drive than her .01 diminished reactions...as I’m still in a better state, with…

That would also make sense as an explaination. Could have been a combination of reasons that led to the decision to put speed limits in place.

I read somewhere that many of the “excessive” speeds in Montana were German tourists frustrated how crowded the Autobahn had become and were visiting just to enjoy unrestricted roads without congestion. If that were true, then the irony is the most qualified people in the world to be driving fast were the reasons the…

While I think first-generation Miata looks pretty sweet with the factory hardtop that was optional in the early ‘90s (and did you know it fit the second-gen, too?) Brown went on to say that the take rate was low on the optional hard roof that was later sold alongside the third-generation Miata.
