Point taken, f*** them. I guess I should’ve consulted a map...

I have been in maybe four Uber/Lyfts, do they usually step on and off the gas and brake like American cabbies do?

Confirmed.

Jason, have you ever written about the Gurgel Enertron? It’s a watercooled half VW boxer and was installed by Gurgel in the BR-800 and the Motomachine. I could definitely see you owning one of these weirdos.

Badum.

I think the broken windows theory has a lot of merit (as long as it is not used simply as another means to terrorize black and brown people), and it most certainly would work if it was applied to the police themselves. Cops getting away with minor offenses every day shows them that they are outside the law, and they in…

Dealing with cops here is similar to dealing with police in Turkey or Morocco from my experience. Dangerous and unpredictable. My Iranian boss says the police here are the same as the cops in Teheran, except without the safety valve of a small bribe. Cops in actually democratic nations, on the other hand, are…

Two foot tall pedestrians are always at risk.

I kind of liked the secrecy, it allowed my imagination to run wild. I was thinking some kind of spiked medieval-type catapult job.

In the spirit of your question of 1.1 being plural or not, I have a question - a baker’s dozen is 13, but how much is a baker’s gross? 145? 156? 169? Grateful for any help, I have been hearing good things about your cotomer sevis.

As a bicyclist and an avid anti-Texan, I defend people’s rights to make jokes. Even lame ones that I don’t agree with. If it was in Waller County, I think it would have crossed the line, though.

Oh whew, I had been worried that used car prices would drop before I could finish formatting my Craigslist ad for my slightly rusty 2003 Ford Focus Wagon.

I think the original xB (unlike the second gen) was actually sold to its intended consumers. They were nearly all modded immediately and I haven’t seen a presentable one in a decade.

I think that GM does really well in Scion’s niche, what with Pontiac, Saab, Saturn, Oldsmobile...

You literally have to do this to get a license in Brazil - all driving schools make their students practice this, and as a result many drivers use this technique while driving. 

There are tons of people here in NY that drive around with their flashers on - I am never quite sure why, I think it’s maybe a way for them to tell the world that they are not comfortable driving today or something.

I enjoy chasing down those little niggles; they are generally things I am able to do myself with my limited abilities.

Yeah, sometimes it is the right thing to do. So many people, however, think it’s some kind of magic bullet against winter conditions. It’s like the people out throwing salt everywhere when there is a dusting of snow on a 35-degree day.

Most English-speaking markets were RHD (including South Africa and those in the antipodes), but they were certainly not important enough for Opel to make a revised drawing.

Ugh, she really reminds me of my ex-wife.
