You’re manning up when you realized what’s wrong and called it.

Give your family a hug.

Try and read the actual news report:

Correction, this retard was pointing an airsoft pistol with a laser sight at the chopper. Doubly-dumb.

“Inspection or no inspection, how hard should the fire inspector have pushed the issue of the malfunctioning sprinklers and fire extinguishers with insufficient charge? I don’t know what the law says about a mechanic’s fiduciary duty (if that’s the right term in this case) to not allow a (potentially?) dangerous…

I’m sorry, if you’re bringing in your car for government safety test, and your mechanic didn’t at least check the brake line and make sure the tires won’t fall off, and insist that either they get it done, or have it condemned, then you should fire the mechanic.

And if the brakes were malfunctioning in the crash,…

Because you’ll need to find a person who takes meticulous records to believe that a high mileage car is maintained well.

To paraphase one of the movies, Mr. Robinson made himself more than just a man; he devoted himself to an ideal, and became something else entirely.

I hope someone would fill his shoes.

My condolences.

Typo: Acrua, first paragraph.

Call it a cop out, but when I see *my* car, I feel better.
I drive a Toyota Echo in Ottawa, and it’s got some rust underneath. It should be nothing about the car that I should celebrate.

But this is the thing that lets me do whatever I want, whenever I want. If I have family going into NYC in short notice, I could get…

Please tell me you’ve sent the kid the equivalent in beer for the fix.

Yeah. You always scan and look for exits. In an event of a potential crash, any place that gets you out of a bad situation is a good exit.

Which is why making a bike flashing lights and attracting attention is not a good thing. It’s like when you drive on a highway at night that don’t have street lights, and the…

In emergencies, or confusion, you steer where you look. In a winter driving course, I was starting to corner badly, and the instructor told me to look further ahead.

Or there’s the Canada’s Worst Driver challenge, where in a no-ABS car, they teach the contestants to look for escape routes. Those who look, would…

Exactly. Most driver speed, but they aren’t 40MPH (64km/h) over the limit. Most traffic is only at most 10-20 km/h over posted, and most are smart enough to slow down when the conditions do not permit it.

Whether it’s street racing, it’s speculation, but the conditions are quite right for it. And Bloomfield has the…

I’m in the same boat. Thankfully for the a/c less rust bucket, I’ve tinted the windows and put on the sun reflector and left a crack open...

Hoping the muggy heat is gonna go away soon in Ottawa.

Don’t get me wrong, using lighter weight material is where the industry is heading, and it’s a good thing. But it’s not without its risks or problems.

Chevy is fearmongering for sure, but there’s some legit concerns when you’re using it in the rust belt.

Uh, rusting is basically oxidation of iron. Aluminum itself may not rust, but putting aluminum with steel without proper isolation leads to galvanic corrosion.

Eh. I’d overlook the faded paint, or even mismatched panels. It’s the rust that I’m really worried up here. Road salt just eats cars alive.
Seeing how the hood always get pock marks that starts to rust, and their edges are also quite prone to chips, if I ever buy a new car, I’d think about using some kind of clear…

Rough synchros in second and third. Gonna try and double clutch and hold off on the fix until the clutch goes too.

Those who have enough capability to fend would warn foreign aircraft to go away. Those who don’t just silently eat crow.

America has been flying these missions to probe other countries defences for decades, with lots of country either protesting or eating crow. It’s hardly a surprise now that China does something…

I brought this up with my mechanic (not that I’m in the market for a pickup), and his response was he’d like to see what happens after the aluminum trunk goes on the road for a couple of years.

We use salt up here for snow, and different metals don’t mix well. My “decent looking on the outside” Toyota has its share of…
