I see that image and think of Columbo

Ah, but those are normal maintenance.

Well, at least it’s not a Pinto.

If you only put the caliper bolts in finger-tight, they’ll fall out on any car.

I think it depends on exactly what that furniture looks like...

Yup. Crony Capitalism isn’t the free market.

Doug... seriously. How is a government controlled entity any more trustworthy and reliable than privately controlled one? Aren’t they both made up of people? And aren’t people generally going to act differently when power/influence/control are provided to them, regardless of whether they work for Big Jim or the…

Here’s a better soundtrack.

Police are always our friends and are always looking out for our best interests. They also never do any wrong themselves and should automatically be given our complete, blind trust and treated like war heroes.

It may only be a “$100 mirror” but ignoring the issue is just as bad as causing it. I’m not saying that the BMW was correct in what he did by following them (and probably breaking the law in that pursuit), but ignoring it will just cause the next issue to be a “$300 dollar door panel” or a “$500 something else”.

Guys…

Yeah that’s one interpretation. I tend to agree with Sean MacDonald’s interpretation;

^This. Yeah some dumbass went way too fast and COULD HAVE killed all the things. What about the 70 year old going 45mph in the left lane while furious drivers go around him? What about the asshole that constantly doesn’t bother using his turn signal? What about the 26 year old girl on her phone the entire time on the…

One of many valid questions. We see this from the IIHS every single time they try to prop up the “speed kills” myth. There are always exclusions based on “factors” that they’ll name vaguely but won’t their actual math forward. It’s pretty clear up front how much manipulating was done to get the wanted result when the…

gooder:

Revenues. Cops love guns and new cars WAY more than they do things like justice, doing your job, or not being an organized criminal gang preying on the unsuspecting public

Or maybe its the criminal enterprise posing as a government in the state that is the problem.

“When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators.”

Nobody at Gawker cares about government cronyism/pay to play unless the benefactors happen to be someone they don’t like. An oil company, for instance.

You think the EPA gives a shit about emissions and pollution? The EPA is just another way for the government to control us with. Sure, they tell all the bleeding hearts that it’s for the environment, but in what way do these rules actually help that? If anything, as pointed out in the article, this truck is BETTER…

pfft... think you got it bad? Try being a Libertarian!
