And yet people keep coaching for Jones and Snyder. It's almost like the money might have something to do with it.

Yeah, pro coaches make a shitload of money. Anyone here that thinks they'd turn down double-digit millions because Dan Snyer or Jerry Jones are entitled shitheads is lying to themselves.

An AWD mazda 3 that can take on the Evo/STI would be much more than 30k.

I've been practicing law for five years and have never seen anyone refer to it as a statute symbol until today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_s…

It's actually the section symbol, referring you to a specific section of the Virginia Code.

Every single insurance company would deny this claim so quickly that it would make your head spin.

The law doesn't really favor anyone in this scenario (other than whoever can best afford to litigate, but that's another issue). The relevant legal term is a "bailment," but all sorts of other factors apply here, possibly including local and state statute and a contract between the owner and the dealership.

But but but the author owned an S class that he didn't have trouble with!!!!

And it wasn't on the car in the place that they were mobbed and attacked. Can you direct me to where it says the locals were upset about the license plate? Or are you just assuming that a plate that wasn't even present caused this whole mess?

Gotta have fun, it's just the internet!

Devil's advocate — why shouldn't you be torn limb from limb by hungry lions during halftime of Monday Night Football? Gory and illegal, sure, but is it wrong?

And then when people in Atlanta attacked the Top Gear crew that was -not- using the offensive plate, you'd say it's Top Gear's fault for trying the wrong joke this time?

Ok, let me know when this relates to the original statement that "they tried the wrong joke this time."

So which "wrong joke" did they try this time? Since they didn't actually use the plate in question, as you correctly read.

How on earth do you read this article and think "looks like they tried the wrong joke this time"? It's like the commenters here can't even read.

He's used to it. He also administered the 9/11 victims fund, the BP spill fund, and so on. It's sort of his bag (baby).

It makes me seriously conflicted about coveting the C7 and SS though...

A lease is not a long term rental. Is today "I don't know anything about leasing" day on jalop?

When you lease a car, you own it. Just because a finance company also has its name on the title doesn't mean it's not "a car someone owns."

Yeah, all those litigious people suing companies for massive engineering failures resulting in loss of life and injuries so those companies could save $.79 on a part. Tearing this country apart, I tell ya.
