Where does that 356 get its engine cooling? That image brings up so many questions.

Two private owners and a trade-in lot all neglected to sign that title. I can see the trade-in lot, but it’s still likely that these people don’t have licenses or something.

My dad told stories about how guys at work would steal sprinklers or lawn ornaments and then brag about it at work. Some people are just asshats.

The small companies who care are bought up by bloated companies without any useful ideas of their own. Sometimes with the sold purpose of killing that company before it becomes competitive. Capitalism is broken.

In my case, it was a text message out of the blue. The ‘99 Windstar minivan we sold in 2014 was supposedly impounded for parking issues, and none of the 3 subsequent owners had signed over the title, but left my signed version in the glovebox. The person claimed the police would not release it to them, since their…

Not to mention that 60 months is no longer a ‘new’ car, and people will need to start shelling out for repairs.

The medical droid couldn’t perform an ultrasound to figure out she was pregnant with twins, either, so that really could fly. Those things could dip you in a healing tank and replace your limbs with robotics, but they seem to be missing a large bit of programming.

I occasionally push 5-shelf chrome carts (18"x60") on wheels down the hallway at work with old equipment on it. Doesn’t matter how new the cart or how smooth the floor, those things go all over the place! I can’t imaging trying that with something as heavy as a car and irregular as a driveway! Respect!

You’d think there would be a “slow down” horn or beep or something. A simple, auditory warning will help when it is known that the human brain occasionally tunes out when not actively engaged.

UPDATE: Wired has an article explaining that driver assist software is programmed to ignore stationary objects. This makes sense in many ways.

Love that story. Here’s another one: General Aviation aircraft manufacturers would ask focus groups and pilots at air shows if they like their designs. The pilots invariably would respond, “Oh YES! I’d fly that!”. The designs never sold as well as the pilots’ enthusiasm for them. Cirrus aircraft figured out that…

You ARE correct! That is a great example of telling the guy to close the gate after the horse gets out of the yard.

In addition to that, I have a letter typed out indicating who is selling to whom, the payment form, and the car being sold. Both parties sign and date the letter. Saved me some stress when someone called me about a car I sold 3.5 years ago saying it had been impounded, and the last signed title had my name on it. The…

That, and a trade for that $7,000 designer watch they “bought in Vegas when their luck was good”. Really? A car for a watch? Does that EVER work??

If they want speed, turns, and excitement, this is the design to use:

You can make two grocery bags very comfortable on the way home.

Were you in the UK, because that fellow is driving from the continentally-incorrect side of the car.

Except you missed the part about this one having fewer of those fussy electronic circuits. It depends on your priorities, which is why NPCP promotes such interesting dialogue.

FYI: The term “slut shame” is bigoted. Why shouldn’t women also be allowed to be horny? Unless you call guys “sluts”, you should reconsider your bias. (End of soap-box. And no, I don’t read Jezebel, I’m just trying to promote lusty women and responsible men.)

If you knew the road involved in the crash, you’d know this is indeed an extreme circumstance. (Although I do approve of greater crackdown on reckless driving in general.)
