I had a similar sound in a Merc. The dealer service department said it was the ‘high pressure fuel system.’ So I assume they were talking about DI. It does not sound consistent when listening from outside of the car.

Speed is relative. A fast moving parade isn’t that much different than a slow moving one. 

After thousands of simulated races, the computer predicted the track that allows for optimal passing:

They’ll probably forgive the ticket, but she’ll still be on the hook for the tow. 

Pay attention to where the money goes. In MA they used the money from gas tax and tolls to fund the subway, because it would be unfair to raise the subway price. 

Do you not know how filibusters work?

This is what I was thinking. Along a similar note, it seems easier to steal the trucks carrying the fuel now than tap into a pipeline.

They might actually believe it. I know a car dealer that did this in his personal life and told his children to do the same thing. He would say that it helps your credit score if you owe them some money for a while.

There is no such thing as bad press, or so they say. This seems to prove that (along with our current president, but I digress). Getting millions of people talking about him, good or bad, meant he got free press and people either remembered a song of his they liked or wanted to listen for the first time. That drove…

Bad press. What if the headline read ‘ Burger King gives registered offender food for life’?

Apparently!

It is both. The scratched paint make the dent look worse. 

Or get a car cover. I mean if they want the cars to look pristine, they shouldn’t mind him putting a cover over it. 

I’d try to park next to a bush or wall to hide the dent, or get a car cover. I had a place that didn’t like my truck. So I backed it into a parking spot where the bushes hid the bed from the road. Never had trouble after that.

Thanks for the clarification!

David was probably assigned this article first, but as he started typing and got to the section about “If the cars were disabled, heavily dented, rusted, unsightly, they assumed the property was poorly operated and their neighbors would be unacceptable”, he broke out into a cold sweat, which dripped into his keyboard,…

I guess New York can no longer make fun of Boston for shutting down at night for maintenance. Erik is correct. This will lead to a near permanent nightly shutdown for maintenance, because they will never finish this way. 

Half the reason I buy online is it is hard or impossible to find some stuff in stores. If the store had a kiosk or something that would tell me where to find what I am looking for, and if it is in the store, it would make it so much easier. HomeDepot does pretty well in this regard. I can check online if they have…

Your comment was about taxation. The taxation is equitable (assuming you understand the meaning of the word). If you want to discuss redistribution of wealth, that is a different subject; however, since most of that wealth is in the form of stocks and not liquid, it is not likely to happen anytime soon.
