But it all took place inside Tommy Westphall’s head.

Which is, of course, the Russian of Germany.

Where I live, high-speed chases are only approved if probable cause exists to believe a felony was committed that involved the use or threat of force. I mentioned carjacking would likely fit that definition, as would armed robbery. Stealing a car by itself would not.

The tracking thing adds a layer to the story, but even in cities where police chases are restricted, a chase in this case would likely have been approved (carjacking at gunpoint is considered a violent offense in many jurisdictions).

On a different note, when I was 15 years old, my Dad agreed to drive me to pick up a girl from school for our first date and drop us off at the movies. He decided he would show off a little and took his Porsche 911 Turbo. Right in front of her house, my Dad failed to see a median and drove right over it, messing up…

Back when I was in my early-20s, I was too embarrassed of my Yellow Nissan NX1600 to ask a particular woman out. I look back now and cannot figure out why I was so embarrassed of that car when it came to the idea of showing up in it for a date since it was a perfectly fine car... it was just yellow and a little funny…

Yeah. My local dealer called me several times a couple of weeks ago to let me know the window to order was closing quickly and that it would probably be next summer before I could order again.

I believe it was Mitt Romney who owned six homes but listed his official residence for voting purposes to be his in-law’s basement apartment.

You’re right. Disney should have cast Jeremy Renner as Batman and Hailey Steinfield as Robin for this show.

Disco.

And then J. Jonah says, “Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos” 

Used to be, the low pay and long hours were more than made up for by the fact that it was relatively easy to murder hookers and hitchhikers and not get caught. But now they’re even cracking down on that.

Yes. A long eight years.

A whole planet of talking bears wearing neckties and stealing pic-a-nic baskets?

I like her teeth. I’m glad she was able to stick up for herself in that instance.

They should’ve just called the movie “No Way To See It At Home”

Full self-driving cars are an easier technological problem to solve than Kinja, apparently.

Hell, my first Integra was an RS model and had crank windows. It wasn’t fancier than the Civic of the time at all. Much better looking than the Civic of the time, in my opinion, but definitely not at all fancy.

Well, at least they caught it quickly.

My Dad had a 1985 Ford Ranger V6 4x4 he was planning on giving to me when I got my license in ‘87. To learn the manual, he took me to an abandoned parking lot and let me at it with little-to-no instruction (this was, coincidentally, how he taught me to ride a bike). I stuttered and stalled many times but finally got…
