    This seems like a perfect opportunity for the military to put its engineering and logistics skills to work, on US soil instead of in Afghanistan . . .

    I have an ‘09 Tacoma, and have used engine braking since new. It probably explains why I need to replace the original brakes, now that I’ve reached 100,000 miles . . .

    Not saying what he did was right, but put yourself in his shoes - boss says get the sample (no matter what). Would you risk getting written up / demoted / fired or would you what you’ve always done /been trained to do, and put some “pressure” on whoever’s in your way? I put way more blame on his boss / lieutenant .…

    In the cop’s defense, he was put in an absolute no-win situation by his lieutenant. He could either “complete his mission” and get the blood sample (even if it meant illegally detaining the nurse) OR he could “fail” and (potentially) be fired (bye-bye pension). Yeah, I know, he could appeal and get reinstated with…

    Gotta complete that report! In fatal crashes, it’s not unusual to get BAC levels from all drivers, since, especially at night, both / all drivers could be impaired, which can be viewed as a contributing factor (for filing charges). In this case, there’s little evidence that the semi driver contributed, in any way,…

    I can see a market for a police interceptor version . . . and it’s “altar”, not “alter” . . .

    How about the over-promising and under-delivering when it comes to the selling of “plus” seats? While some “better” seats are certainly worth the “price of admission”, on my last two trans-Atlantic flights, I’ve ended up a) once, with more legroom, but the seat won’t recline because it’s next to the restroom, and b)…

    The ‘90-’93 Geo Storm GSi actually had pretty good seats . . .

    Chevrolet Corvair and Pontiac Fiero

    Best example of incomplete parts commonality is my ‘09 Tacoma pickup - it has a backup camera in the tailgate, but no monitor (because, base model) . . .

    End of wrestling season, went to Shakey’s Pizza for their Bunch-of-Lunch buffet, and managed to down 18 slices of pizza, a dozen pieces of fried chicken and a few other random items . . . ;-)

    Nice ride, but a $10K ride, not a $25K one . . .

    Out of state plates (Illinois) explains part of it, and the huge speed differential explains another part of it . . . no one is fault-free, here . . .

    Nice for 139,000 miles . . .

    How about the traffic signal? Single red > double red > green. Drag racing inspired? A way to speed up traffic?

    Nice,but not $10,000 nice . . .
