4 Wheels good (2 wheels better)

As a guy whose first two cars were motorcycles and worked his way through college as a short order cook, I approve this message.

Every motorist needs to start on a two wheeler and log 'x" miles before being given a car.

As a guy who had two more or less back-to-back kids, all I can say is that working a full time (stressful) job and taking care of kids is next to impossible.

The red, candy-like button!

Look at fatalities in SUVs vs say a Golf GTI.

The last large study of motorcycle accidents (the aptly named Hurt Report) showed that lane sharing motorcycles were "significantly underrepresented" in overall accident stats.

Twenty American Dollars says it was Frank Chu.

The rural thing makes sense. All the tickets I got were in rural NY,MA and VT (the price of owning a motorcycle in your early 20s was a *lot* of tickets)

This has been around since the late '80s.

Trust me, I got a fair number of tickets this way back in the day.

Truly low end Mazdas (parents bough one a decade back) didn't come with cup holders.

But with almost all these "cost cutting" features my theory is that they want to make it as unpleasant as possible for you to buy the low end car.

They aren't cutting costs as much as they are trying to convince you to spend more.

Ironically, the widow in my office has the same problem.

Why are so many of these videos filmed in Drunken Monkey Vision?

Sounds awesome, now I'm seasick.

Airbags? No.

ABS? No.

3 point harness? Maybe.

Seatbelt? Maybe.

Last 2 combined with crumple zone? Definitely.

I miss mine.

A '72 convertible someone had painted (badly) in an attempt to get a sort of Ferrari/Ducati Red.

I meant to get it repainted. I meant to put a stonkin' motor in in. I meant to get that rust in the pan dealt with. But at the time it was my daily driver, so there was never enough time.

Then I had kids and

Mexico City.

Because MEXICO CITY.

Flying into the wrong terminal? Guess what, you have to clear customs and a security checkpoint in order to leave the airport to return to the airport to pass customs and a security checkpoint in order to board your connecting flight.

Parts of the terminal are quite lovely, then you turn

You say that now, but what happens when kids get trapped inside one and suffocate because they are playing hide and seek in the garbage dump?

This episode left me thinking: Are we just not ready for dimpled cars?

It's just sheet-metal so I can't imagine there's a big manufacturing cost ad-on. So it's got to be aesthetics that's getting in the way.

If fines in Sweden are based on income, and (as his been suggested) this guy's income comes from being a front for registrations.

Doesn't that make the fines a business expense?

In turn, doesn't that make his income a negative number?

Doesn't that in turn mean the government should pay him every time he gets a ticket?

But
