My front collision warning is such a drama queen.

My Dad told me I had to learn on a manual because the truck he was giving me to drive was manual, though I did take my drivers’ test in my then-step-mother’s automatic Volvo.

See above.

“They” in that sentence was meant to refer to the dealership that did step up. Anyone else could have, but didn’t. So the one that did give the kid the car deserves praise.

I don’t know how that makes me right (I said they deserve some praise for the fact that they actually did it when any number of other dealerships could have but didn’t).

I’m sure the PR value they’ll get from this is far above what the car cost them.

Killing people in an office building taken over by thieves masquerading as terrorists during a holiday party.

But why would there be a Stormtrooper in the Sarlaac near where Boba Fett apparently fell in? There weren’t any Stormtroopers in the ROTJ scene where Boba slapsticks his way into the Sarlaac.

Thankfully, if you want the agribusiness and crop report, AM radio is still tops.

I had a 2016 Jetta. The VWnet connected services didn’t seem worth the cost, so I just skipped it. I don’t have the car anymore, but presumably it would still work in all the ways I used the car after the 3G is shut off.

It’s a very screwy situation.

Isn’t having done ‘Veronica’s Closet’ enough?

After all, this is not ‘Nam.

I’m waiting for the “Evil Under the Sun” adaptation starring Chris Noth, Louis CK, and Kirstie Alley.

He does appear to have a large debt with the Texas Attorney General, according to his bankruptcy filings. These are usually child support-related.

Yes. He had long-ago sold the car to the kid (maintaining in the bill of sale that there were no liens) but hadn’t transferred the title.

If the order of events was (and what it appears to be to me after reading the bankruptcy filings): They have Mazda on lot. Freelance salesman buys Mazda on credit from dealership. Freelance salesman sells Mazda to kid without disclosing outstanding loan or paying off said loan. Freelance salesman stops making…

It appears that the salesman bought the car from the dealership and had an outstanding loan on it when he “sold” it to the kid. Whoever held the note likely secured a lien when they sold it to the salesman.

He did know he wasn’t buying from the dealer. The bill of sale is from the individual salesman.

The kid is largely blameless. The grandpa probably should’ve known better, but didn’t.
