I know reading is hard, so I’ll give you a second chance to actually look at the words. 

Even 11 years ago, most vehicles deleted the handbrake in the US. Trucks/SUVs/Vans almost never have a handbrake even 11 years ago (even 40 years ago it was rare) and they make up a significant portion of vehicles. The you get into all of the generic Camrys, Accords, Taurus, Malibus and the like and most of them had…

I can confirm male ducks are rapists, because I grew up on a farm with ducks.

It must be rough to be that scared of being alone with your own thoughts.

The thing is, most of the maintenance falls in the normal wear and tear category that warranties don’t cover.

My wife got in an accident and totaled her 2007 3 series. She wasn’t hurt. We were upset about the loss of the car, but as I cleaned it out and added up all of the maintenance/repair/tire/brake costs over the past couple of years, I realized it might have been its time to go. Without any major drive train problems, we…

Nope. It’s just called a “handbrake”. Admit you’re wrong.

On an automatic, the parking brake is a pawl in the gearbox.

Except that it’s a parking brake, and not for emergencies.

Does this explain why the locals malls in the area are full of Nissan/Infinity overruns? I mean like 25% of the malls parking lot. To add to that, they must not even keep a good eye on them. I drove by this weekend and found an SUV basically sitting on the ground because someone had stoll the tires and wheels.

First of all, how is it not the CRV? I think the CRV is safe, but many of them are driven by some questionable drivers. It just seems like when I see a driver that gets to a roundabout and has no idea what to do and proceeds to stop at each exit to the roundabout to make sure no one is coming, they are driving a CRV.

If I owned a business, this is how I would design my parking spot. No other parking even close to it...and someone would probably still try to park 6 inches from my car.

Boomers shouldn’t have voted for Regan, Bush...they removed all regulations on the banks and tanked the economy. 

Boomer are working at retirement age at the highest rate since “retirement” was invented.

my generation is tired. We just want to find a way to fucking retire early

My aunt works in banking and says it is hard to find an accounting intern, one in college working on an accounting degree, that can balance a checkbook or do basic accounting. So they need something.

I think they are referring to people who go to college for a degree in Art History, Fashion or Museum Curation. I mean degrees that people have little to no chance of ever using to get a job. I recently had someone ask me why they can’t find a job with their Museum Curation degree. I really didn’t want to explain that…

Sooo....you are literally like every other generation before you? When Germany first started the idea of retirement, they set the age for retirement beyond the life expectancy of most people at that time. They never meant for people to retire. Only the past few generations actually had a chance to live long enough to…

Tycho also suggests that it’s very unlikely many of these were actually sold outside the factory’s home province of Fujian, so if there’s any still around, you’d probably have to go out there to find them.

They are optional accessories but required in some states/districts.
