Since I didn’t see it mentioned, the motorcycle rider seems OK, even though the wreck happened at 65 mph. From the linked article.

Plus, if he/she is worried about reliability, buying the first year model of any vehicle is not a good idea. Sure it is mostly Wrangler, but they did enough engineering changes to let other people shake out the bugs first. 

Currently 60% of murders go unsolved, and lesser crimes are hardly ever solved. It is hard to imagine that the county would do better solving crime than the local PD. 

Most studies find red light cameras actually cause more accidents. People worried about the camera slam on the brakes early and get rear ended.

I have a hard time imagining why a union needs to be worth billions and billions of dollars. How does skin in the game help if no one, supposedly, is getting the money. They are not using the money to help workers. They are not giving the money to the workers. It seems the only ones benefiting from the money is the…

Federal oversight would be a joke. Unions gave $400,000,000 to Obama in a single campaign. I’m sure they’ll grease the palms of anybody that is necessary to stay in control.

Well, if I did not bring home the bread, then there is no way that is happening. I don’t know why she even phrases it as a question. She knows it is not optional. 

Whether you have notifications on or not, multiple texts that could be done in one text is more annoying than a period.For instance, I get texts like this from my wife.

The UAW is probably still the biggest Chrysler shareholder. They are the biggest GM shareholder. 

Since the UAW is the biggest shareholder in each of the big 3, the sad part is their profits were probably better than Chrysler’s last year. I’m sure all of that money is going back to the workers.

I think I figured out whose house this is. Robert Kraft. He just has some kind of fetish for stripmall massage parlors but doesn’t want to risk the public ones anymore.

I’ve seen cars hit higher than 133 just from being left in the sun. What temp could they reach if they turned on the heater and left it in the sun?

I thought his second biggest problem was his apparent inability to keep his hands to himself.

I know people that max out their student loans to have enough to cover a new car payment. I feel like they are digging themselves in a hole with two shovels, but some people want to roll the dice. If the government starts forgiving student loans, I’ll be the stupid one for not borrowing money.

The U-Haul places around me will sell and install a hitch for people. I doubt they have much experience with Volvos though. 

Does it also have the 1,600 position tailgate? Just imagine all of the roof/tailgate combo setups. 

I’d call an engine seizing up on the interstate killing power brakes, power steering and somehow causing all of the electronics to go offline in the middle of nowhere 2 hours from the nearest tow truck catastrophic. Maybe it is just me, though I am not making things up.

Merc has a habit of not doing official ‘recalls’ and instead call them ‘safety campaigns.’ or some such nonsense. Just because they change the terminology to bypass the rules doesn’t make it right. 

I got a CPO 1 year old Mec C300. Six months in the engine had to be rebuilt twice. Each rebuild took one month due to waiting for parts from Germany (so for the first six months of ownership we only had the car for four months). Still have trouble with oil and coolant leaks and had to have the front axles replaced.

I was expecting more replies like, “Won’t someone think about the pedestrians? A dump truck with mustang characteristics will not be satisfied with the crowds and cars and coffee. It will be nearly unstoppable.” I came away disappointed.
