Until the training wheels come off they can ride on the sidewalk.

Always carry a spare ballast resistor and condenser. Someday it will be the difference between being stuck at the side of the road or back on your way in under five minutes.

And who exactly did he send these emails to?

It affects the same people who are too weak to wear masks. For some reason.

Now you’ve done it. Now we have to argue about driving on the left like the Brits and Japanese or the right like the US/Canada. And is this reversed in the southern hemisphere, ie Australia vs. Argentina?

Sure they are, if the writers aren’t using the publisher’s money. (How likely is that?)

It is possible to design and build engines better than GM did in 1981. In fact, it would be deeply embarrassing not to.

But even then it was best to remember that the temperature needle usually stayed right on the leftmost mark of the normal range, meaning that pointing straight up in the middle was cause for concern. The only time I ever saw the needle move right of center in my truck was the day the water pump died.

Not your point, but many, many, many mechanics would LOVE to watch engineers installing the parts they designed. It would be quite cathartic for them.

The drivers sitting on the right is kind of a giveaway too.

So what happens when I leave my dog in the car- and he sees a squirrel?

Be grateful you don’t steer with the touch screen. That wan’t a request. Be grateful.

Three, maybe four minutes. Seriously.

You know this lovely person is going to try and sue the airline. A felony conviction or two would help here.

This is easy- let the passengers board without checking vaccine status in accordance with Florida law.  Then in international waters anyone unvaccinated goes over the side.

Call a couple of Toyota dealers and a couple of good independent repair shops and ask them what it would cost to replace the batteries. Then ask the dealer that’s selling the car. Can’t hurt to know the real world price.

Call a couple of Toyota dealers and a couple of good independent garages and ask what replacing the batteries costs. Then ask the dealer who’s selling the Camry. Then you’ll know.

Wait ten or fifteen years and then watch all the electric cars- not sleek new well-sealed cars but worn out beaters that haven’t been maintained since their third owner. Maybe this won’t be a problem in places with inspection laws, but there are other places.

It is true about the rubber shortages. In addition, this was before the pipelines were built so gasoline and other petroleum products were shipped to the East Coast from Texas and Louisiana by tankers- and at the time U-boats were running wild off the East Coast and even in the Gulf of Mexico.

They’ll just  announce that Gaetz has been a secret liberal all along.
