Well in all fairness technically I only crashed a motorcycle once - the other two times people crashed into me (thanks Dad.....) And one of the times when I crashed an aircraft it was actually completely stationary to begin with.

So… one less CR-V driving slow in front of everybody? Wouldn't this be a good thing? Apparently they weren't designed to reach the speed limit without winding up upside down. Lesson 1: Drive a CR-V 25% below posted speed limits at all times, consequences pictured above. Chevy Astros = same deal.

My mom gave me my first driving lessons in a cemetery. There were lots of paved roads and turns to take without any other traffic, and the tombstones sent a powerful message.

I'm from MA and I've never been informed of any "laws of traffic." What is that you speak of?

Mazda 3 hatchback?

So, if I tell them to sell me one tire and one wheel for $7,500, I can have a RYNO Bugatti Edition?

Now, this here's a story all about how my Fit got flipped, turned upside-down. And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there, I'll tell you how I became a meme from town called Bel Air.

Of course the dad was at fault. If he was alive, he would probably be facing even more serious charges. But you can't charge a dead man. The bottom line is that both the father and this lady were at fault, for different reasons.

Had he not been doing 20-30mph over the speed limit and, from what it sounds like following too closely, he may have been able to avoid the stopped car. I'm not saying what she did wasn't wrong also, but I don't think the lady should go to jail for life when the biker clearly wasn't following the law as well.

Sounds like tailgating to me.

No one expects a stopped car in the left lane of a highway. I would also guess things were compounded by the bike (a Harley of all things) carrying two people. Not the best circumstance for surprise evasive maneuvers. I'd say fault falls on both parties.

Since we're on the subject of great marketing. Remember Trunk Monkey?

MBAs are like belly buttons these days. Or small-block Chevys at a hot rod meet.

I think we do agree. What I don't agree with is the notion that cops should drive and use sinister looking equipment to command "respect" and "authority". But it seems that most of America disagrees with me on that, judging by the direction Police vehicles are headed.

Let me tell you a little story about GM people, because the "culture" comes from the people and their attitudes, as you say, Patrick.

Right now a truck only has to have two kinds of fuel, gas and diesel. A truck carrying batteries would need ones for fire trucks, ambulances, patrol cars, search-and-rescue vehicles, utility repair trucks, command posts (motorhomes) and motorcycles. Motorcycles would be the smallest percentage of those, unless you…

Well, better these than gas-hogging sports cars that they simply do not need. Frankly, cops should be driving hybrids and saving taxpayers money... after all, every gov't claims to not have enough money.
