VehicleVirgins. Son of a billionaire on the board for Concours d’Elegance tries to claim he bought his first Lamborghini as a teenager just by interning for one of the Big Three over a single summer. The math just doesn’t math there, and lying to people about his bootstraps and such is pure cringe. There’s nothing…

Why bother publishing this list if it is incomplete?

CUVs are just crappy versions of station wagons. Andy even included a description that made it clear that “car” was not limited to sedans. If footprint was everything, then there’d be more hatchbacks. As for sedans, I don’t much like them either, but a lot of people love having the luggage fully separated from the…

I agree with your sister.

One doesn't know what they're feelings are until they themselves are in that situation.  My sister was the victim of an attempted car jacking.  The guy had a gun, she was at a stop light and he opened the door telling her to get out.  She tried to comply but because she was afraid and panicking, she forgot to unlatch…

If they’d pulled over, they’d be alive.

I started to post this then wondered with sort of crapstorm it would ignite. Realize this wouldn’t ignite any compared to other comments.

Criminals died committing a crime.

I think most reasonable people see “not complying” as a secondary cause of death with “carjacking at gunpoint” being the primary cause. With that in mind, I think the general principle driving the responses here is, “if you threaten an innocent person’s life, turnabout is fair play.”

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

lol and if their victim didn’t hand over his keys he’d very likely also have been a casualty of “comply or die”.

not much sympathy for someone that is willing to take from others by force with a weapon. Do I wish them dead? No. Am I sad they are? Also no.

No you’re right, the people robbing others at gun point are fine human beings.

police chases over trivial shit should stop. “ooh look, his plate is expired, lets chase him!”, “ohh, a black guy in a fancy car”, “ooh, his taillight is out”, “ooh, he cali rolled that stop sign”...  send a ticket with the dashcam video and be done with it.

but this was a felony stop from the get go.  good reason to…

Play stupid games.

“...stolen in an armed carjacking...”

Sad that people died here but the police aren’t the responsible party here for it. Here we have someone who was identified as a violent car-jacker, it makes absolute sense for police to make their capture a priority. For the other occupants in the vehicle, there’s a reason why that saying “be careful of the company…
