@Ash78, tryptophanatic: I'm thinking the whole thing is one gigantic pretentious statement. NY plates means he has a place in New York, but Greenwich plate holder indicates to us all that he's in finance since that's where all the finance guys keep their overpriced digs. So just in case you didn't get the 2BG2FAIL…

@When_you_get_the_money_you_get...: I honestly don't know, I haven't been there yet. Though I'd say Salt Lake City fits that description pretty well.
As someone who has very recently been forced to relocate to the state from a normal area of the country (read: much further east), I feel I should share what I have learned about these two groups of blonds. Roughly 70% of the state is Mormon—though it's more like 40% Mormon in the Salt Lake City area. It isn't like…
@Lymed: I think they want "regular" people who are not smarter than them because people who are not very smart do not see nuance. That means that whenever someone starts talking about things intellectually they become confused and assume that they are going to be tricked. If you don't understand your world then…
That was such an obvious commercial. And not a good one. I agree with the earlier post about how annoyingly slow they were going.
@shmendo: Absolutely. He makes no attempt to correct it back onto the road at all. Even though it's clearly very muddy there—as we can see in the original towtruck vid—there's just no way he could have put that car straight in like that unless he was trying. Especially not if he was reacting to a…
@GotaGurt: FlyinLow! #bugattiveyron
Can these systems go off if the car is stationary? Like what if someone with a hitch parallel parks and bumps the GT-R parked behind? For the sake of argument, what if the owner of the GT-R is in the car with the car running? #nissangtr
I remember when I thought the GT-R seemed like a cool budget supercar. If I'd bought one I'd seriously be afraid to drive it at all this point. #nissangtr
@ploopsy: You could say the same thing for airbags. If you're going 175 when you hit that wall they're not going to matter.
This morning on the local news they ran a piece talking about how the police department has a "winter driving academy". They interviewed one of the officers and this is the advice he gave for how to handle a skid: "Turn into the skid and keep your foot on the accelerator and you'll pull right out of it." They…
@Ipomoea: I agree. Whenever I've downed a bottle of Krug I haven't had a serious hangover. That being said, two bottles (sometimes +) of champagne on your own and I think you're screwed no matter what you're drinking. #giantwineglass
@sumerfish: Ouch. That makes me feel a little sick just thinking about it. #giantwineglass
@Aesop's Foibles. YES.: True story: Back in college I used to throw "champagne jams" where I'd pick up a case or two of the cheapest champagne in stock, empty out my fridge of all the leftover carry out and condiments (and sometimes the shelves too) and fill it with bottles. Everyone would always come because they…
@Aesop's Foibles. YES.: I know this is splitting hairs, but yes there is: A champagne hangover. #giantwineglass
I am so totally confused by his post that I'm not sure I even know what he was trying to say. He took a used M3 on a test drive and it had a leaky tire—the repair of which was his only negotiation for the car because two other doods wanted it also? So then he goes back to the dealer to get the tire fixed and his…
@merc6point9: Damnit, I meant why is it right hand drive. Stupid afternoon scotch. #carmovies
