Meanwhile, here in the States, parents have to worry about whether someone will call protective services because their child ran across the street unattended for five minutes in their own neighborhood.

My 3 year old does something similar. I can have locked eye contact, tell her “No ma’am.” Does it anyway without breaking eye contact.

They talked about the “Terrible twos” blah blah.

Screw that.

Three year olds are conscientious objectors.

Alcohol. Otherwise I agree with you.

yeah we get snail mails about twice yearly for our vehicles (a Lexus RX and Honda Accord) telling us that they need our trade in because demand for our specific vehicle in the used market is very high.

Not so circular at all. Because Japan has always exported heavily to English speaking countries, and English is the current language of business. There is already, and has already been, a need for better English within Japanese companies. And if my kids want to work for Panasonic or Fujitsu or Kyocera or, yes, Honda…

What about owning a Super Cub? Do you still have to pay all that weird Japan car ownership fees? P.S. These are really awesome.

Backlighting! In my day we had front lighting!

Tablets suck. They open up a giant can of worms from hell.

After having had two e36 m3s, one sedan and one coupe, I would say the sedan is more desirable than people imagine. It was a great seller in its two years on the market, and generally commands a small premium over a similar coupe, at least here in the midwest.

I got a call once from a customer when I worked at Cox about protection:

“Yeah, uhm...So, I wanted to get onto the internet, but I keep hearing that I need to have protection so that I don’t get viruses from porn.”

“Yes, sir, that’s true! It’s always a good idea to put something on to protect-”

“So, tell me, what sort of…

Very clean car, especially the interior. I’ll actually go NP on this one.

I went to Kettering University predominantly for the co-op program and majored in Mechanical Engineering. Enrolling in a school that has a co-op program is a highly beneficial route to take. You get early experience in your desired field, you make decent money, and graduate (hopefully you make it that far) with a well…

Probably the best and most accurate "10 List" I have ever read on Jalopnik, and I have been guilty of perpetrating every single one.

I still have mine. :P (forgo the grime stickers, that's all gone - not proud of that phase)

Along with many other cartoons, I always loved this when I was a kid:
