Tuck and roll, John, tuck and roll.

I was an 80's kid, and my rich friend - the kind of kid with the G.I. Joe aircraft carrier and ALL the goalie kit for street hockey - had one of these. He’d never let me ride it, which annoyed me at the time, but in retrospect was totally for the best. Still got to drive his g0-cart, use his pool, his pool table, his

Still no decent explanations on so many aspects of this:

Perhaps, but look how cops abuse civil forfeiture and how impossible it is to get back your money and stuff even when it is 100% clear you came by it honestly.

Literally the words forming in my head as I scrolled to the comments. 

Oh nice, I’ve never seen it!

It changes the calculus of needing a car that “does it all”.  If Car A commutes, Car B can become less practical, more fun.    

It’s nothing like that at all. Germany has fully renounced the Nazi’s, has laws against it, made apologies, and in the past 80 years has shown a march towards progress. That is such a tired, played argument it barely elicits ever this basic response.  Elon Mush is happening right fucking now.

The mine shaft gap, good one :-D

I agree with this, I’m betting the typical renter of these cars probably could not have abused them too much. And, I think it’s a screaming deal and I can afford $18K for a third car that would be a great commuter...but it’s a hard pass because their CEO is who he is. And I don’t say that to be sensationalistic, I

If anyone still does not know what the word “oligarchy” means, they really need to look it up.

If only CVS could tear down all their stupid abandoned stores littering this country, too.

Forever Philadelphia held onto City Hall - and it’s defining statue of William Penn holding his penis (true story, look it up) - being the tallest thing in the City, full stop. Then about 20 years ago someone bullied their way through and built higher, and then others followed, and the skyline has evolved ever since.

Holy parking lot. My quick math shows that at about 10 acres of pavement. And from the aerial photo, it’s being used mostly for storage of containers and other junk. Great use of riverfront property. But I’m sure the skinny-ass park next to this monstrosity is nice.

I was looking for a GIF...but you beat me to it.  Only those of a certain age will get it :-D

Seriously, my GTI does this now when I have even a mild weight in the front seat and the seatbelt icon blinks incessantly. And I roll with my rears split, golf clubs on one side and my work bag on the passenger side, so there is nearly always a weight on the rear seats.

Your move, Black Mirror.

Didn’t some high school kids get killed in one over Thanksgiving? 

Back in the early 90's, out with some HS friends, I pulled a bit quickly into a 7/11 parking lot and aimed for a back corner spot. What I did not see was a peninsula sidewalk sticking into the middle of the parking lot, which I hit at speed and square and fully ramped our 1989 Camry right over the 5' width of it! One

I’d bring back my 2000 Celica GT-S. Hydraulic steering, 6-speed, 7,800 RPM, and 2500 pounds. Also, bulletproof, but sadly not deer-proof. If I had a time machine I’d go back to 2020 and pay the $4K to repair it. Still looked new after 20 years and all those miles:
