That's a Hot Wheels.

Ummmm, No. Not only do I have to drive over 150 miles three times a week, but I also travel over the wonderful county roads of S.E. Michigan. That little scooter would be shaken to pieces in about a month or two.

Is it really that hard to proof read such a short article? It's "compliant with new fuel economy and emissions standards." Not "complaint" with them. God, that just bugs the crap out of me.

As my daddy always said....

Is the whole episode shot with the cameras shaken and completely out of focus? How about when it's dark out, with everyone in the sick green "night vision" glow, Or, better yet, infrared cameras and some indeterminate object appearing over the hill side, then loping off into the distance, then some old guy with no…

Does that car have air suspension? Could be the battery is well and truly dead, and the pump no longer operates. Either that, or dead mobster/hooker in trunk.

Yes, if you fail to pay or go to court, it does become a criminal matter. But, as I said, the initial ticket is a civil, not criminal penalty, that's how the gov't gets around the whole "ticket in the mail" approach. They just set up a speed camera on the one major street heading into down-town from where I live. The…

Yep, because liberals have never been for civil rights, representation in court or the right to face your accuser. And there are no "law and order" conservatives, they're all a bunch of free thinking anarchists who don't believe in rules or conformity. Is that about right?

Oh, look at how cute an naive you are!

That's because most officers have SCMODS.

Here in the great City of Toledo, I don't have this problem. Drivers don't get pulled over. We know we are busted for speeding when the tell tale flashes of light go off in the rear view mirrors, and you get a ticket in the mail a week or two later. No need to explain to a cop, no court fight, just "please send a…

If you're asking "Would I daily drive this car", then, no, I wouldn't. It's too uncomfortable, too loud and a beast to control in other than perfect pavement. If, on the other hand, the question is "Would I take the car out for a Sunday drive?", then, yep, every weekend that isn't cold & snowy.

That's just a knock off of GMC's newest HD truck, the OTC (Open Tin Can) Box Truck

Go one better. Read the book.

I set up a Google account, since I'm not on Twitter & Facebook is evil. It's easy and doesn't require any personal info, at least not much.

Yeah, great. Tell that to my wife. She's borrowing her parents '08 Explorer, and she really likes it. God help me.

I would, and I'm not afraid to say this, scream like an eight year old boy if I saw this car parked somewhere. I would embarrass my wife & kids by swinging the mini-van around (Emergency Bat-Turn!) and fawning over the car, but I wouldn't give one bat shit about it.

I kinda like what they do in some Scandinavian countries, where they base the fine on a % of your income. A $500 fine is going to be a major pain for me, but for a person making two or three times what I make, it would hardly be a deterrent. If it's 2.5% to 5.0% depending on the infraction, then income disparity…

They could read the book. Hollywood has very few "original" stories. But I agree, just see the Movie with Arnold and Sharon. God, was Sharon Stone hot back then, or what?

Yeah, I'd do that, but the damn lug nuts are frozen to the studs! Now what the hell do I do? I tried a cheater bar on the lug wrench, but they still wouldn't budge. Guess I'll have to take it to the shop. I might have them check the alignment as well, as my Focus seems to handle like a drunk ass sailor. I'm beginning…
