"an upright citizen has a basic civic responsibility to check on his fellow human beings, and even provide a statement to the police."

Cue commenters that don't know where to find their dipstick saying things like: "Land Rovers are unreliable, I know because my brothers friend had a Discovery for a couple of years back in the 90's and once the battery went flat"

When I look at this Passat, especially the side view, I see an Audi at the front, a BMW in the middle, and a VW at the back. Anyone else?

Pyongyang is not in Bhutan.

Not automotive but I just hate it when people use Baltics and Balkans interchangeably. Learn the difference between Slovakia and Slovenia while you're at it, too.

Yay! This is my local police force. Also, I hope to work for Ariel one day.

This is England, criminals here would consider that crass and vulgar. What what.

Did you make millions arming both sides in a bitter ethnic conflict? Or maybe your father ran off with the loot leaving people to starve after the fall of communism? Then Bob Forstner has the car for you.

What is kosher salt? I keep seeing it referred to in recipes. I had thought it meant just that, salt that is kosher, and as I'm not Jewish I figured I can just use any old salt, but as this recipe is for pork I'm assuming the idea is not to try to make the dish kosher.
