While loading some gravel from the creek into the back of our farm truck (a 1976 F-100) I tossed a shovelful of gravel through the back window.  My father was less than pleased.

I executed a quick and perfect backing out to the right in an underground parking lot.  Except for the pillar to my left.

I once bought a used Range Rover.

Amen, DeWayneV8! Waiting three years for your collective farm to be authorized to get a tractor so you can grow more potatoes is something our anti-capitalist friends seem to think didn’t happen routinely for 50+ years.  Oh, and you didn’t have much choice about being a potato farmer either.

I think it is a money laundering test that got too much publicity.

Here in America, the biggest problem with the mustang is the guys who own ones made after 2000. They tend to have made their cars very loud and annoyingly accessorized, but they are just plain slow. I pulled up next to one of these guys last week. He was in a left turn only lane, revving his very loud engine, showing…

I agree we need to replace and repair aging infrastructure--the problem is that the government is horrible at doing so regardless of whether money is appropriated.  My guess is that it’ll be years before any of the money is actually spent.  Remember how the Obama Administration was going to fund “shovel-ready”…

Is there a summary that makes the legal argument for why he was wrongly convicted? I see lots of articles asserting his innocence, but I haven’t seen any laying out the case for it.

private parking lot, private liability--try getting your city to pay the same if that happened on a city street.

The reality is the non-union car workers are getting comparable pay and benefits.  They vote against unions because they don’t need one.

That’s because the anti-union politicians aren’t offering subsidies to non-union manufacturers and denying them to union shops.  The bottom line is that it is wrong to handle it the way they are.

If the city/county is smart, they’ll immediately pay for the tires and towing and get the people to sign a waiver before the ambulance chasers get to the people.  $1k each is peanuts compared to dealing with this in court for the next two years.

It’s not billed hours—it’s the contingent fee for the plaintiff’s bar.

The police do not have a monopoly on violence. Ordinary citizens are fully empowered to use violence—up to and including lethal force as is reasonable under the circumstances—in self-defense or defense of others. 

I’m gonna take Nasa’s word for it...

Guppy you have an odd combination of knowledge and ignorance regarding a narrow slice of the electromagnetic spectrum. :)

Unlikely such a system would have changed the outcome in a crash like this.  Trucks don’t stop on a dime.

Well said, Sir!

Do you not remember the state of fashion in 1982?  Brown suits were a thing still then.

Well done--and for what it’s worth, I think you’re right that there’s a desire for autonomy going on in there.  Along with the cool noises and waterworks.  It’s a win-win.
