If someone who was not a police officer engaged in this exact behavior they would be going to jail right now for decades. Can someone explain to me like I’m 5 years old why this officer is not going to jail?

TAKE HEED COMMONERS: Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith USED HER TURN SIGNALS at a stop on her OWN country estate. Go forth and do no less!

It is amazing the way corporations have managed to almost completely shift the responsibility for climate change from themselves to private individuals.

An utterly fantastic, big-brained way of winning people to your cause is to fuck with their private property. 

this was a big manly friend who told him this with tears in his eyes.  Sobbing “Sir......”

Whenever he says “I have a friend who...” or “People are saying...” it really just means he’s about to pull something out of his ass.

Donald Trump does not have a friend who owns a car that gets 38 mpg.

Based on my engineering experience, I think there is a 98% chance it went something like this:

I am continuously impressed by the mental gymnastics that Tesla fans will do in order to justify the bad quality control on their vehicles. 

came here to say this - absolutely 100% best investment north of the Mason-Dixon line - better than AWD.

Car was unstoppable

If you live in a snowy climate: getting a second set of wheels and having dedicated snow tires and summer tires. There are not many things more relieving than being able to drive through blizzard conditions without the anxiety of your car slipping all over the road.

The Tesla Model S:

Huge pickups that will never have anything in the bed. The dudes who buy these are insecure people who are overcompensating by trying to buy their perception of masculinity. Why does it bother me? Because they also drive like 14-year-old bullies who were thrown a set of keys by their drunk old-man. But hey, maybe they…

The ubiquitous Harley V-Twin. On idle it sounds like it’s laboring to run and it looks like it’s shaking itself apart (which it is), and on throttle it makes a sound that virtually all of us have come to hate because the morons who own them have all pulled the baffles so it can be heard 5 miles away in all directions.

Harley v twin from the “loud pipes save lives crowd.” One continuous fart.

Quite a juxtaposition between this and the article about the 6 people killed by the person who was speeding. We’re giving this new “record” attention why?  

I have a six year old, and “don’t walk out in front of a moving car” is something you *teach* children.

Yep. For a long time I thought that was because they were bracing against the downwash, but after I got to approach a running helicopter in real life I realized it’s because the main rotor is terrifying and you don’t really know where it is, so you give it a WIDE berth.

That at least had a functional reason to exist, and from what I can find they cost about 1/6 the price of the monstrosity from the article. Yeah, I’d choose the Quadski any day.
