That must of been quite a while back. There are caps in Texas on damages now: “Two times the amount of economic damages plus an equal amount of non-economic damages up to a maximum of $750,000.”

If you’re worried about replacement parts availability, just drop in the drive train from project POStal.

The Jalop in me wonders how hard it would be to slip a used manual into that baby. Where’s David Tracy?

So it isn’t as if they’re slipping all the time.

Or the exploding Pinto?

Read the headline and thought “must be their dual-clutch transmission.” Read the article and confirmed.

I’ve heard that if something in a contract is ambiguous that the party who didn’t write the contract gets the most favorable interpretation of that section. Of course I read that on the internet somewhere, so it must be true.

It’s poorly written only if you believe that the 6 was intended to be alone in the numerator or in other words, that the outside parenthesis were accidentally  omitted.

Spending more transportation money on cable barriers leaves less money for graft and corruption.

Pay US workers peanuts like Chinese workers get? That’s how we’ve gotten low cost consumer goods here for decades. Import those goods (from Japan right after WWII then shopping around the world for cheaper alternatives after Japan’s standard of living has made their products too expensive) and kill manufacturing jobs…

Because it’s worth money?

I recommend that you install a call recorder app and then use it to record while you play the voicemail. Once you’ve got an audio file, you can edit it (to clip audio before and after the actual message) and send it to your Google drive.

Harbor Freight, $3.99

Well, True Republicans™ would say that the Federal government shouldn’t own any land.

I can think of a couple of other countries that would sell them nuclear tech if we don’t. I’m always amazed at how people seem to think that without the US, the rest of the world would be a technological backwater. And don’t understand the concept of the law of unintended consequences.

You’ll get better gas mileage than Tracy did!

But high oil prices must mean that we haven’t opened up enough federal land/offshore to oil companies so that we can produce enough to bring down the price. Oh, and don’t forget to make sure to charge a pittance to the oil companies for the use of the land/offshore rights, or make them put the land back to the same…

So I guess by the same logic they would deny a warranty repair of a defective air bag sensor or a broken seat belt because, hey, what’s wrong with it?

Define “proper.” 8.3? Or Linux/Windows rules for filename formats? I had a mechless head unit that only understood ASCII characters in the file name. But all it would do was not display the Unicode character properly. It played the file and didn’t reboot.

Apparently it’s real: BMW left embedded in Banbury Factory wall.
