If the car drives off the top of a cliff that’s level, the car starts with a vertical (downward) velocity of zero. If it’s rolling down a hill which just ends with a sheer cliff, then it will have some initial downward velocity once it clears the edge (think ski jump minus the ramp at the end).

If it’s a hardtop then it will never come off.

Do you want PT Cruisers? Because that’s how you get PT Cruisers.

Meh, when I was in law school in Omaha, I’d drive my car home to North Carolina over Christmas break. Christmas break was 3 weeks - too long to be car-less. Plus it beat the hell out of flying. Just me, my iPod and the open road. I’d break it up into two days. Eastbound I’d stopover in Nashville. Westbound I’d…

Ain’t that a kick in the head.

The Truth About Cars says if you don’t drive an Acura, Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Infiniti, Jeep, Lexus, Lincoln, or Mercedes-Benz, the $3,500 conquest bonus is not for you. If you do own a vehicle from one such brand, you don’t need to trade it in. Ownership is enough. 

I was just watching this video yesterday. Larry’s YouTube channel (AMMO NYC) is like the HGTV for car care and detailing. I’ve been addicted for the last week. He’s about as thorough and meticulous a detailer that I’ve seen. It’s also pretty cool he walked away from a lucrative job on Wall Street to start a car…

I hate to be the pedant, but on a revolver the hammer strikes the cartridge when the trigger is pulled past the “break” which actually releases the hammer. It doesn’t strike when the trigger is released. Releasing the trigger just resets it for the next shot. :)

The owners will surely put on 24 inch rims.

The olds are driving Korean cars these days.

What’s even worse is a dealership sold another car to him. I would expect this Dbag went in there complaining about tires and needing a new, AWD Tesla. Any person with half a conscience would have told the guy to buy new tires and stop driving like a maniac.

Most of the stuff I see is just general assholery. “Oh look another truck. Let me try to pass it for the next 3 miles.”

My condolences on your experience. I had a cat who would lie on the rear speaker deck as I drove. My ex kept that cat.

Stuff You Should Know.

I believe Brits call them bogies or bogeys. (From the Top Gear BMW convertible challenge)

No but theft of a financial transaction card and fraudulent use are separate crimes. More than likely it would be lumped under the charge of stealing the purse in this case.

In NC, if the value of the stolen property is $1000 or higher its Felony Larceny. But the perp already committed a felony: Breaking or Entering a Vehicle.

I have an aversion to parallel parking because I’m scared I’ll scuff my rims on the curb. That said, I know how to parallel park, it’s just I avoid it when possible.

Nice tall socks, dork.
