Wow, that guy is a two time convcted sex offender (1999 and 2016), had no license and no insurance and was driving high too. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing, I guess?

California is losing low earners and gaining highly educated high earners because of a lot of reasons, like the tech industry and the sky high cost of housing in the tech heavy areas of California. And the cost of housing in those areas - like san francisco and oakland - is very expensive in no small part *because* of…

*ahem*

Here’s the link to GM’s LIMITED new car warranty/warranties.

Ex dealer service manager here. Companies can and do put conditions on their new vehicle warranties, every damn day. Specifically, conditions of owner behavior to keep the warranty valid, such as: damage from owner misuse/abuse or lack of proper maintenance will not be covered by warranty.

It would be interesting to know if that particular TU104-100C plane (built 1999) had the backwards compatible upgraded PS-90A2 engines, since they are a newer revision developed with Pratt & Whitney and containing a bunch of Western parts from France, Germany, Sweden and the USA, according to Wikipedia. FWIW.

People really need to stop buying hyundais and kias.

Pro Bono exists. Look up the legal term if you’re not familiar with it.

This is a pretty nonsense survey, and

I hear that, but consider Biden’s long history of being a legit car guy. His ‘67 Stingray convertible his father (a Chevrolet dealer) gave him as a wedding gift in ‘67 that he still has, the ‘58 Mercedes 190SL convertible, and others.

I dunno if you have any personal experience trying to help pull a close family member out of the depths of a years long addiction. I hope you don’t, sincerely, because dealing with this for years or decades is beyond taxing, mentally and emotionally.

You tend to take the progress you can get, and accommodate that…

The GOP desperation to pin something on Biden, ANYTHING, would be funny if so many Trumpers didn’t believe it.

At your service!

I do love me a decent shitbox. (as the prior owner of an ‘89 Civic wagon, ‘91 Civic Si, ‘89 CRX HF, ‘87 Sprint Turbo, ‘94 Maxima, ‘89 Chevy Spectrum, several air cooled beetles, ‘76 Newport, ‘70 Challenger and ‘58 Olds 88 hardtop, all under $4k and most under $1,000.

No such thing as a “Vortec” 4 cylinder in 1994, guys. The 4 banger was the wheezy 2.2 that year, and not available on the 4WD S-10 at all.

The “Vortec 2200" badging didn’t come around for the S-10 platform until the 1996 model year.

IMHO that’s unfair to the Soul, which had far more space inside, was more reliable and more fun to drive too.

The brand new Renegade we rented was miserable to drive, had shitty shifting, a crummy plastic interior, weak power and rode like shit, but at least it broke down and left us stranded in the hills with night…

Good. Renegades were hot garbage right from the beginning.

It is a broad term, but these were definitely not “firecrackers in trash cans”.

early reporting said 5,000 lbs.
later follow up reporting corrected that to 32,000 lbs.

Me too.

Yup. Honestly, I’m surprised this sort of thing didn’t happen years earlier considering the lack of department regulations around the use of bomb disposal trucks and the cowboy attitude of the LAPD.

Side note: according to an NBC Los Angeles follow up story a year ago, the final tally was 32,000 lbs of fireworks and improvised explosive devices at that guy’s property.
