A lot of times, the ambulance depot is separate (as they are where I live in NC). Heck, some places are unlucky enough to have ambulance service that’s been privatized.

You sound like the joyless, kei car-fearing clowns at the AAMVA.

In my city (Albany, NY) and in the area I live the aerial truck responds to every.single.call. It is one of the massive tractor-drawn aerials with rear-wheel steering. And it has to navigate all these small city streets and ends up going down one-ways the wrong way and blocking streets and it is just absolute chaos.…

Hearing its music often enough can contribute to homicidal impulses, but the ice cream truck is killing kids via the long game - setting ‘em up for a life demanding instant gratification, destined for obesity & the diabeetus!

This seems like an argument in favor of strategically placing micro fire stations equipped with kei-class fire trucks throughout American cities & suburbs.

Believe it or not, it’s possible to care about more than one thing at a time. And if you’d like to see fewer people die, that means changing our infrastructure to prioritize safety over speed. One of the biggest obstacles to getting that done is fire departments fighting every single change that might possibly make…

As long as it’s an option that can be turned off, I’m all for it. Let your freak flag fly.

Musk lying about something to pump TSLA? Say it ain’t so!

3rd Gear: I’d be curious, for those that are eager for the next generation Chevy Bolt, what is turning you away from the Equinox EV other than price? We’ve already seen some truly insanely cheap (depending on your State) lease deals on the Blazer EV so it stands to reason we’ll see some very cheap lease deals on the…

The truck tried to stop, but the road was still slippery from that barbeque sauce tanker truck crash.

I’ll fetch my smoker and the sausage skins, we can still salvage this. Who is bring the beers?

“In fact, the automaker loses more than $32,000 on every car that rolls off the production line in Normal, Illinois, as Automotive News reports:”

It’s not arguing semantics though. China has long abandoned communism in favor of state controlled capitalism more akin to Russia’s oligarchy.

5 star Euro NCAP rating. See the crash for yourself:

Can confirm. I’ve had product made in China for decades. Crap in=Crap out. Give them the proper specs and they will give you exceptional product.
