Even with summer tires.... That's 100% driver error. 

What's an obstical? 

He’s in Gotham, not NY

What’s a Betel?

Because it wasn’t.... go back to the Googles and try again

Kids safety first! Make sure the shoulder belt is routed under the arm rest of the booster seat. Check the manual, but that’s how most of them are supposed to be. I’d add a picture, but it won’t let me.

What if it’s a YouTube video and you make money of the views? Is he entitled to a cut?

Interesting article on the subject. For those asking for case-law examples, it has gone both ways so far. I think the best take away is DON’T LET ANYONE PAINT A MURAL ON YOUR BUILDING. Whether you pay them or not. They’ll then sue you and win 1.1 million because you painted YOUR building years later.

How do you know they didn’t get permission from the garage owners?

Except he already got paid and now it’s in a garage, in public view. What if you thought it was cool, took a picture in front of it and posted to social media? Would he be able to sue you for publishing his art without permission?

Right? He already got paid when they commissioned the work. Now it’s in a parking garage, in public view. He saw a chance to milk it and he’s taking it. And they’ll settle since it’s cheaper and better PR. 

No. He already got paid for it. It’s now in public view in a parking garage. Sure, they’ll settle because it’s cheaper and better PR. But he really should be told to fuck off.

The Beetle based VW Brasilia was launched in Brazil in 1973. The photographers that got the first spy shots of the car were actually shot at by VW security while following the new cars in a Beetle to try to get a picture.

I’m a firefighter. That’s what I do for a living. I didn’t say it never happens. Yes, some cars catch fire even when not in an accident (looking at you Ferrari), my point is that in the vast majority of cases, there’s time to get out. Cars only explode without warning in Hollywood. Most fires start in the engine…

Now that doesn’t sound very Supra.

They’re not parting it out. It’s on Copart.

Car fires are fast in Hollywood. The vast majority of cars that rollover, do not catch fire.

I never understood that. My wife and I were shopping for a car for her many years ago and we went to several dealers for a test drive. I told them all upfront that I wasn’t buying THAT DAY. I was going to drive a few different cars and then make a decision. The experience:

So being tired of tire kickers is a reason not to allow a PPI to someone who’s actually in the market? Yes, it sucks to have someone test drive a car just to drive a fun car, no intentions of buying. You know what also sucks? Turning away someone who’s actually looking for a car to buy because you don’t want to “waste…

He wasn’t rude. The “tone” I got from the exchange was that Tom was genuinely surprised at the fact that they wouldn’t allow a PPI. He’s talking to car sales people, not royalty.   As to “Is that what sales folks respond best to?”, that conversation clearly wasn’t going anywhere. They clearly would rather sell the car…
