If a motorcyclist lane splitting is causing problems for merging traffic, they're probably doing it wrong, in which case they could probably be ticketed (e.g. in California, lane splitting is legal, but it is up to law enforcement officer discretion to issue a ticket if it is being done in a way that is not safe and…

Lane splitting is legal on any road in California with at least two lanes in the same direction to split, and not just when traffic is stopped. The Highway Patrol recommends splitting between the #1 and #2 (leftmost) lanes, no more than 10mph faster than traffic up to 30mph; an officer may ticket any motorcyclist lane…

Two or more tones?

Do wheels and visible interior count?

Nash Metropolitan wagon? I did not know that such a thing existed and now I want one; but they are, sadly, very rare.

Saying we measure in English is ambiguous at best. Nobody has actually used the English system since 1824. English units have since been replaced by Imperial units (in England) and United States customary units (sometimes called "SAE" when refering to tools and fasteners, though the SAE now uses metric). Definitions…

I'm so confused.

I just find it odd that the BMW 600 is sometimes called a limo.

Here's a somewhat more...usable one.

Limbo?

Lions–Eagles—en-dash.

Wow, you almost just described Roman Civil Time. The Roman Empire actually had a varying time system such that 6:00AM and 6:00PM were set at sunrise and sunset (the length of time units would be scaled to match); they even had hydro-mechanical clocks that would automatically alter their speed to match the season.
