@Racin_G73 - dirt track legend (some day ... maybe): Two things: 1) why is that Corvette left hand drive? 2) I have always simultaneously loved and hated all those hideously modified 'vettes. Time was you couldn't go to a car show that wasn't filled to capacity with them.

@Heriloke: Since I've been able to ignore Twilight all along, you've just been able to explain to me why the Mormons are all so giddy about this crap. #twilight

I thought this issue was already brought up by blind people about a year after the cars first came out. Since blind people have to listen for cars at intersections, hybrids pose a problem at lower city speeds. #hybrids

A couple of years ago I was walking my dog through the small condo complex where I lived. There are no sidewalks there and the streets are pretty narrow. I was walking along on the left side of the street, but slightly out toward the center—because you can always move over when you see/hear a car approaching—and I…

@günter macbeetle, codename: chrystlubitshi: It always does! Mmm...scotch... #mercedeseclass

No sir, I don't like it. #mercedeseclass

@günter macbeetle, codename: chrystlubitshi: You're on fire today. #mercedeseclass

I don't know about dumbest excuse given, but I have known plenty of really dumb *reasons* from people I used to know. Let's just say it's lucky for a number of these people that camera phones and video cameras were not as prevalent back then. #qotd

@BigEngineSmallCar: Ok, if I hadn't grown up no-where near any military owned land then I'd swear I knew that guy. I had a friend in high school who freaked out about a leprechaun while driving on acid and ran off the road too. What are the odds?! #qotd

@Corvette_Thunder: I'm with you on that, but I'd have said $1.8, so I guess you outbid me. #fordmustang

@günter macbeetle, codename: chrystlubitshi: What are you doing in England? Is there someone else up there we could talk to? #fordmustang

@Bullitt417: No, it's down in a more sleek position during top speed runs. It's only up in that high position for speeds in the mid-100s I think (for some reason 130mph is sticking out in my mind). If I remember correctly though, when you slow the car from a top speed run it will raise the spoiler up higher to…

@MikeHerbst: Oh hell no. Absolutely not. My wife and I will never have children if that is part of the agreement.

@JoshRogan: True. Duke Gold was tortured over the death of his daughter, I wonder what Richard Burd was bothered by. #carpocalypsenow

@Franzouse: Shit happens. I said they "are not supposed" to do that and that they "can" get in serious trouble for it. Ambassadors are not standard diplomats though, since they're specifically appointed. People who occupy official positions that carry diplomatic powers however can be, and sometimes are, fired or…

It looks like she's sampling different scents—those look like paper cologne/perfume testers.

@Franzouse: American diplomats are not supposed to use their diplomatic powers to get out of things unless it's a serious matter of need/injustice/etc. They can get in some serious trouble for pulling the diplomat card for things like disobeying local laws (speeding). #qotd

@MrSpyder: I got stopped one time on a fairly busy highway at night like that. I was going almost 90 at the time and I honestly almost came out of my skin when I looked in the rearview mirror and saw him an my bumper without his lights on. It scared the shit out of me for some reason—looked like a ghost or…

@ywok: Only three? You need a bigger car. #qotd

@FantozziUgo: People are often disoriented after rolling a car over, especially into water, belted or not. Though unbelted they tend to suffer significant trauma first. That girl was VERY lucky. #qotd
