@shooter: It's quite alright. I am in fact an anarchist asshole, but only after my fifth or sixth beer. In polite conversation, I am merely a libertarian loony. Since you have worked store security, I'll clarify that I appreciate the difficulty and under-appreciation that a lot of people in that profession face. I…

How come nobody likes feet on the dash? I always thought there was something very sexy about it... probably because I use it as an indicator when out on a date. If she puts her feet up on the dash, it means the last bit of nervous tension has disappeared—things are going well.

@pres: killjoy.

That picture of a caliper is pretty. That is all.

@Justin Martin: I know of a Jalopnik commenter who will let you borrow one if your car breaks down. Oh wait, "they" got banned. Sorry, you missed your chance.

Love the Wildcat II.

@MightyPirated: It's also shrunk by a factor of over ten million. This can't be good.
