We had a dept. so widespread with it that the State stepped in and removed the chief and effectively broke the dept. and the town. It was awesome!

As a former Cop and private corporate security, I can vouch that it is common to provide a channel for anger away from you and the current incident (you giving that ticket to that guy).

He still pulled them over and followed an unlawful order in doing so (the one about selective enforcement).

That isn't true. You can lie to cops, even about committing a crime, and not suffer any criminal action. The only time you can't lie is when filling out a legal document of some sort (which is why they have that handy disclaimer).

He unequally enforced the law. It is against departmental policy, regardless of current orders.

True on most counts.

I'm going to assume that you are arguing this 'tongue in cheek' because you seem to be older than 18, which is generally when people star to understand nuance. As someone else said, enforcing the law disproportionately for any reason, is unethical and against rules, policies, and in some cases the law.

I think the difference is that of intended competitor and competitor. Many of those cars were designed with the intention to compete with the miata, but they missed some part of the formula that makes the miata great (maybe FWD, maybe too heavy etc.).

I would go with that if we didn't still have manual transmission four door sedans.

Wow is that your cat. It looks really, angry and anti-social. It looks like a frumpy cat. That's what I'll call it. I'll make millions!

FYI-. some mechanical throttles reset to the the open throttle position when they fail so this isn't really a distinction. Also some electronic throttles do the same (Dodge in the 90's). —This isn't meant to sound snippy, so I am sorry if it does.

I think the point of the auto driving car is that people can read the paper.

It could be an expensive option package. Look at auto transmission. Most cars still offer it as an option that is old technology that really should be in every non-sporty car.

Well, judging by your gif, the world might drive you crazy. lololol <—this is the beginning.

not soon enough. I expect to see the animated gif headlining Jalop!

floating center consoles - because looking as far away from the road as possible is awesome. Also, because whenever your drink drips, you want it on your controls.

I thought the point of the e-brake was that it works even if the electronic and hydraulic systems fail.

So.... buy a Tesla from him with expedited delivery.

This and following comments are sort of retconning what you said. You said subs, which by common term in both the military, general civilian (this audience), and sandwich related populations, means 'submarine' and not 'submersible.' For a pedantic guy, that is quite a slip up. Comments by others assuming your…

For the Afghani people. If that isn't a good enough reason, you are pragmatic instead of idealist.
