Those are the people who get their windows punched.  Not that “I” would ever do that.  Just saying.

This JUST happened to me on my walk to the train station this evening. An indecisive $#!^ nosed right into the opposite side of the crosswalk, then decided to hit the brakes before I’d even reached the street. I waved him on, but he’d already tied up the flow of traffic in both directions.

If the inner doors are just a moderate step beyond the outer ones, you can pull off being the “double holder”. This solves both problems: no need for taking turns, and no repeated Thank Yous.

Add to the cons list the full bolster. If you want a German style knife, look at the Wusthof Classic Ikon. Same steel and blade, but with a half bolster which will allow for easier resharpening. And much better ergos, imo.

I went with the Ikons as well. The ergonomics were better for me than anything else I’d tried, including several Japanese knives (the wa style handles just feel wrong to me). I haven’t had them long enough to know how they’ll hold up, but I’m okay with honing them regularly, and with the half bolster, I know they’ll…

This. Exit 18, and all the motherless assholes who think they’re being clever by cutting to the head of the line (and blocking everyone else not taking that exit) are the bane of my commute. It happens maybe every minute or two, and there’s almost never a cop around.

Hey, thanks for the spoiler, ahole! You really think just because you run out and see a movie on opening year, the rest of us did too? Give it at least two decades! Jeez.

With a parachute. Kind of a crucial point to leave out, non?

Not sure I agree, I’m more likely to say 495 South or 95 North, than I-495 or I-95.

AMAZING footage! Would you mind sharing more details on your gear and setup, for your fellow photo geeks who can only dream about capturing a moment like that?

Exact same thing happened to me the other day (except for the accident). A very polite idiot jammed on his or her brakes in the middle of a rotary to let me out, and the car following had to do a panic stop. I never was more tempted to flip someone off for being nice.

84 Civic Wagon (aka WagoVan, aka Shuttle), just like this one, complete with the steel wheels and drooping plastic bumper cover:

Oh, man, that Chevy brings back memories. My dad’s Beauville (same as the blue one, but in maroon, and no running boards) was the 2nd vehicle I was allowed to drive. I recall getting air in that monster, hooning it around some back roads. Thank god I didn’t actually have to stop that thing in a hurry. Yes, I was an…

100K? I wish. My 01 Acura CL’s trannies blew up every 60-65K, like poorly-lubricated clockwork.

Good points, again. I’ve known some small business owners who have played some shady games with their accounting (hence, my jaded attitude), but re-reading this article, the only aspect in the owner’s behavior that concerns me is his complicity in Terrance’s covering up his “habit” from his family. However, as you’ve…

Excellent points, about an excellent article.

That’s it. I’m done. If Gawker can’t hold on to talent, I’m going to find another place to waste my time. Come to think of it, I have a perfectly nice garage out there...

:) I used that as a vague euphemism for “tall and fairly fat”, and in his case, he did mention that his girth was a factor (probably in conjunction with that big, center electronics console). Though I’m tall and not fat, and I also don’t fit (comfortably) in the civilian version, whereas I’m quite comfortable in any…

Grammar matters not. Judge me by my grammar, do you? As well you should not! The Internet this is.

I was going to question why this was even newsworthy (other than giving us jalops a chance to comment on the CVPI, which is always worthwhile). Accidents due to medical issues are common, and the fact that the driver happens to have been a cop shouldn’t matter. When it happens to elderly drivers, it seems more…
