I think they pressed him for a price so that they could hit him with the cybersquatting charge. They would have to have had a price from him for that to be valid.

I nominate Against All Odds for the chase scene between Jeff Bridges in a Porsche 911 against James Woods in a Ferrari 308 through a no-passing zone with heavy oncoming traffic.

I had a 1991 Jaguar XJ-40 that had that problem. The blower motors were rusted solid from water backing up into the car. Moral of the story: clean the “duckbill” drain regularly, or face like 20 hours of labor to dismantle the dash.

With the car on punctured tires, the rims will quickly disintegrate (steel or aluminum) until the wheels are trying to shove the vehicle along as it is belly-flopped on the road.

Depending on condition, it’s quite plausible that his e-brake may not have been enough to stop or slow the vehicle. I discovered my 2001 740 had that problem when I accidentally drove off with the parking brake on and the car frantically binging at me.

Does anyone know if the Bullit Charger had 14" rims or 15"? Those wheel covers (they’re wheel covers, not hubcaps) look EXACTLY like the set of 14" covers from my old 1968 Coronet 440.

A 440 was available on the 1968 Coronet 440 RT, but most people who wanted that engine would have chosen the Charger or Roadrunner instead.

...and be careful with the speeding up and slowing down parts.

My family had a 1968 Coronet 440 (lol it was a 318 engine). That car was virtually identical to the 1968 Charger even down to marker lights and door handles.

Same boat. I had a ‘68 and sold it in 1987 for $500. The engine had gone and I didn’t want to make the effort of stuffing a 440 into it like my 1971 Charger. When I think of what that thing is worth now...

It’s kind of like Netflix for indie films. It’s not bad, but it is filled with movies you’ve never heard of (and that can be a good thing).

How did you manage to contact support? I bought two 12 month deals from Costco in December and gave one to a friend. We activated them the same day. I got my card in January, my friend is still waiting for a card. We’ve sent a dozen emails and contacts through the app.

Tappan Zee is named after the Native American “Tappan” tribe and Zee is dutch for “sea”. It’s a pretty long bridge so I can see the Sea reference.

I agree Raph, but don’t forget we have:

I had one of these (an ‘86 with the 1.7) and it was the worst car I’ve ever owned. Somebody backed into it and dented the door and the insurance company totaled it! Giving it more horsepower would bring it all the way up to merely slow and ponderous. CP all the way.

“I didn’t hit a pole, but a display stand. I forgot I had a trailer hooked to the truck. It was also the first time I drove with a trailer.”

“Did you read the part where there was 20 feet behind it? Presumably, the human driver behind it left room for them to back up since they were able to anticipate what was going on.”

“It’s just unfathomable that they haven’t included this in the programming. They have all the sensors (have for over a decade) to allow the car to safely reverse to avoid a collision.”

“If 20 ft isn’t enough space for you to comfortably back up, you have NO business driving a car. Moreover, if you’re a robot car with a laser/sonar measuring device giving you precise distance information, you sure as hell could back up 15 of those 20 feet very safely...”

Twenty feet? So like a car-length? And traffic was moving until the shuttle stopped to avoid the accident? There’s no way the shuttle should have backed up into the oncoming traffic behind it. Also, the journalist said the shuttle should have “leaned into the horn”, meaning hold it down. That doesn’t mean the…
