I’ve seen it twice and heard about it. Phoenix area, so half of these people’s brains are heat-rotted like old plastic.
I suspect it’s something that started as a joke among people who knew better and got taken seriously by people who don’t.

I just bought an electric motorcycle and I always electrocute myself before I plug it in to get all of that old, nasty electricity out of the cable first.

Never seen this in 40+ years of driving.

Florida. Come on, you know it is Florida.

Do people really do that anywhere? If so what state?

Pro Tip: To get a whole tankful of premium, when the owner goes in to pay, drive away in their luxury car.

The people who really need to hear this are the asshats literally pouring gas onto the ground because they would rather commit environmental crimes than risk having a drop of low-octane swill touch their FiNe LuXuRy AuToMoBiLe

Thats a bad take.

An object specifically designed to be camouflaged at night by using light absorbing flat paint.

fallen tree is not the same thing as a camouflaged helicopter parked on an active snowmobile trail.

Fallen trees are to be expected in the woods, on trails, etc. Not a camouflaged helicopter.

but trees aren’t covered in camo.

“Are they giving us the finger because we’re cops or because we’re in a Cybertruck?”

Durant founded what became Frigidaire. It worked but was a mess, poor reliability expensive. Sloane evaluated it decided it was worth it and put a bunch of engineers to work on it to make it work. Victory, Cold Beer. 

I could have sworn I read an article here on Jalopnik about the Mcdonald’s coffee lawsuit being a big reason that cup holders became standard in cars, but I can’t find it now. Maybe it was a dream.

Interesting story.  I don't think any CEOs die penniless anymore.  If they fail spectacularly they get a multi-million dollar buyout and or another opportunity at some other company.  Once you get into the money club they set you up for life these days.

Lord knows that would never, EVER happen today...can you imagine a Musk or a Barra doing that?

90 Million in the 1920s is wild.

Fascinating history lesson, thank you.

I feel for the guy and am kind of on his side with this. While there are plenty of asshat snowmobilers out there lots of safe riders still will go well over 50 mph, especially in open areas like a field or airfield. Because lots of obstacles are obscured by snow there’s an incredible amount of work done by snowmobile…

No doubt the accident was the snowmobiler’s fault, but the disastrous private medical industry in this country basically forces people to sue anyone and everyone they can in order to cover expensive treatment.
