Raising the gas tax is my preferred option as well. Guess I didn't really share that before. And given the alternatives MAJOR disadvantages I don't see why the political right in the US, isn't getting behind it.

That was a hell of a hike back in 1985. Most of I-40 between Raleigh and Wilmington wasn't paved yet.

When you need to carry 7 - 8 folks (been there done that)

Yeah, well, we have too many self-proclaimed designers who couldn't draw a car from a boat on here who think they know more than you or I, so oh well.

Damn hipsters and their analog painting. For irony or something.

So we can subsidize farmers to keep our food prices low. Just don't look at what it does to poor countries.

Duramax 4500....come on GM. You know you want to.

Congratulations, Mr. TokyoBayAquaLine and Mr. Braking Bad, on COTD today! I have for each of you an Audi which this lovely lady will deliver to you as soon as she gets that glowing thing off her hip.

Off-duty officers in uniform were recently used in my neck of the woods after an oil spill. Sketchy sketchy sketchy sketchy.

What about the non-drunkard who does not want to live in a police state?
What if I want to be left alone as I drive to work and home?

If you want to catch drunks, do that. Pull them over when they cross the center line, respond to reports to 911, don't hassle me on my way to work.

I guess I missed the part where they were asking for stool samples?

Why are off duty police officers dressed in uniform?
Clearly to make it appear as though they are on duty. That should not be legal.
