Ugh. Learn a bit of history?

Huh. Like $7 for a pair of halfway decent wheel chocks to go with that jack. If you have to change a tire anywhere, it is always advisable to chock the opposite wheel on the vehicle to reduce the chance of a mishap with the jack.

You list seems to be missing something...

It is easy to keep a car going 150k miles. First trick is keep on top of the “scheduled maintenance.” Change the fluids, brake pads and tires when you’re supposed to. Second trick is “light exercise only.” Push the vehicle once in a while when you drive, but not all the time. In other words, good driving habits with…

They love the acceleration and the car’s responsiveness to the accelerator pedal?

No, sorry, some of us have a history of using heavy metal to relax us to sleep.

From the early half of the 90's, before computers in cars started becoming mandatory.

I am amused by the “hold you breath, I have to open the door before we can dock” look.

I hope you weren’t fooled into believing those are recent photos, since trees don’t have leaves this time of year in PA. On a side note, that aerodynamically modified hypermiler Prius from like a month back had PA plates, too. Makes you wonder what other automotive oddities are hiding in the state.

Neither one includes at least the HS.404, or preferably the HS.820, so as far as I am concerned, they are both illegitimate.

Huh. Today I learned people make turbos from Cuisinart kitchen appliances. Now I must see this for myself... Wait..., it wasn’t those crazy Russians that do the duct tape tires 6x6 Lada, or that whole “strap 3 4-cylinder engines together and see what happens,” is it?

How often do you see motorcycles riding two abreast? When I got my driver license decades ago, that was illegal all over the country. But then again, tandem trailers were illegal on the east coast, but those are all over the place now, too.

Just to make note, traffic lights predate the automobile by several decades. And the concept for traffic control on draw bridges dates back to the 1700's.

We had a local town doing this, right down to encoding it as a municipal statute. Then they discovered the state has a law explicitly prohibiting the establishment of any traffic laws below the state level. What they attempted to do was establish some BS rules regarding crosswalks. They have since added these oddball…

Those diagonal crossings freaked me out in the 1970's, when I was a kid and they were installing the first ones.

Maybe six months ago, I watched a kid texting on his bike ride right into a telephone pole. As a driver, I have learned to be aware of those around me with their head glued to their phones.

Never mind the fact that pedestrians and bicyclists in major cities in the US think traffic law only applies to motor vehicles...

Oshkosh makes quality equipment. The engine manufacturer, GM, does not. However, more astonishing is the fact that the HMMWV also had a Duramax of slightly less displacement (6.2L vs. the 6.6L in the JLTV, IIRC) which was infamous for its ability to “accumulate downtime.” This in turn makes one wonder which insane…

One a side note, I realize now where your confusion is coming from.

The Lawrence PD should get all the dash and body cam footage, edit it all together and release it under the title of “Live PD is the top rated show on TV? Hold my beer...”
