That's about what I could count. I am guessing the actual number of damaged vehicles is 50-60% bigger than that number.

Those cars would all be better off if it were. Just think about it. Not hard to get everyone around to help with the free cleanup. All you would need to do is provide straws and some kind of non-marking squeegee devices to all the bystanders. They would be sure to extract the precious powder from every nook and…

"As an EMT"

It sure looks like he purposely jumped far enough in that it would have only run over his legs and possibly hips. Smells more like insurance scam than suicide. There are far more reliable and less painful ways to die then getting your legs crushed.

Exhibit A: G8

Ah, the always lovely GN. There is a 'blown' joke in here somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Her top was shredded by the hairdryer?

I am no great fan of the various versions of Escalade, either, but at some level feel like it enables other good things (like well designed GMT-900 trucks, which I do drive). The profit on those things has to be among the highest in the company and they are purchased in droves by folks who only attribute value to…

It always feels good to repay a loan early. Good on them. I love this company more every day.

Profound. I am one of said Jalops.

Reading comprehension FTW:

Funny, every time I have heard a Brit refer to it, it was a tube. Mind the gap?

True story: on Mother's Day, a few families had converged at my in-laws' house. Being in their 70's and only needing a computer for email and looking up the occasional coupon, I replaced their aging WinXP computer with a much more useable Fedora 18/Cinnamon rig many months ago. One of my brother-in-laws sat down to…

Well, yes, obviously all of my examples assume I know exactly why I had been pulled over. In 31+ years of driving, I have never once been pulled over without knowing exactly why. The status of my driving privileges was in question for quite a few of those early years. Interestingly, I driver faster now than I did…

Ha, it's been a while since I got stopped speeding, but I learned a long time ago that the best lie is the one where you overestimate the speed by a couple. "Yes, officer, I know I was going 74. Really sorry about that, but I was running kind of late and was just trying to make up some time." will result in "Well,…

Define inferior.

Ah, the memories and the life-lesson to never EVER live in a neighborhood that has an active HOA. A few years ago, we moved to a gated community in Cooper City, Florida. As nice as it was, I could see trouble brewing from the moment we got the booklet of rules. Same deal, no pickup trucks, no street parking, no…

That is what it looks like to me. They practically park on the streak of liquid it left as it slid from right to left. That has to be one sore squid...one that is very lucky to be in one piece.

Thanks, I came here to post the video, but yours is just as good. Now I will go listen to that still great song on my own.

Multi-layer side glass? It's not bulletproof. Apparently, not sledgehammerproof, either.

You can't let off the throttle when you hit the liftoff point. Staying in it FTW:
