Just looked it up, New York’s obesity rate is a hell of a lot lower than the UK, for what it’s worth.

Nah, I’ll still stick to hailing a Nuffield Oxford Taxi. Not joking, I actually have a friend in the UK who owns one and finds it hilariously to pick me up from Heathrow in it.

Thailand isn’t where you take a girl, it’s a place where you find one that you don’t have to remember or even know her name.

As someone who moved from the Southeast to here 16 years ago... not so sure. The “Mansions” you mentioned are more than likely going to be some sort of beige plastic sided “McMansions” built in a culdesac surrounded by large never-ending strip malls and big box stores. Is it expensive to live in the Bay Area? Yup. It…

If he’s parking on Google grounds (which it sounds like he is) wouldn’t that ordance be moot anyways? If he was parking on the street, yeah I agree.

They’re there due to the country club mentality - everyone else that is big time is there so I might as well be too.

There is no UC Hayward. It's CSU East Bay

That same question has been floating around since the birth of the internet in the workplace.

Screw Volkswagen. They deserve what they have coming, they dug their own grave. They could have stopped this anytime during the past 6 years but they decided to continue cheating and hope not to get caught. I have no sympathy.

Maybe he could Tiguan for the team.

And yet sadly, Japan beefing up their fleet is a necessary evil considering China’s aggressive stance towards the South-Chinese sea and the Senkaku islands. He’s not inventing a threat like G.W. Bush did in Iraq, his threat is quite real and right across the sea from his country.

Next up: Get those hippies in Europe to stop offering universal healthcare and start spending more money on guns!!1

No more egregarious than the millions of CCTV cameras out there.

Between the gear lube burning off the exhaust and the fumes coming out, I could drive my Corvair past one of these and make the next three cars either fail or not register at all.

Hmmm let me see. Pickup truck? check. Switching lanes with no signal? check. Getting all pissy because “Gerdimmit im in a big ass truck you respect me and let me merge into that lane boy”? check. Continuing to overcompensate for shortcomings by generally being “that guy” and send said pickup into the air like the good…

Of course on modern cars it’s simply a matter of the dealer doing an ECU dump and they can have the proof they need that you bounced off the rev limiter in first gear for 20 minutes before the engine failure.

Collateral damage from him hitting a pothole and damaging the car is not warranty.

My Jeep is ‘Anvil’ which means “I’m awesome” or “I like my vehicle to look like an industrial garbage can”. Either one works for me.
