I had a dealer drop off my car in a random parking lot instead of delivering it to me. It was very weird, and it took a long time to figure out where the car was. And then it turned out the battery was dead.

I remember living in an apartment that decided it was changing to “luxury” apartments. They put in a new light fixture and a mirror, and then doubled the rent.

I am surprised to hear that some of these shows are still on.

Went to New York with my Dad when I was a teenager, and the hotel we stayed at had a jogging track on the roof. Dad said he went to job, but the track came too close to the building edge for his tastes, so he quickly came back down. I wouldn’t go on the roof at all.

At least 57 current US Senators are lawyers. Every judge is a lawyer. Half of the last 10 presidents were lawyers. My governor is a lawyer (as are 15 other current governors), as are at least 20 other statewide officeholders. The mayor of my town is a lawyer as is the county judge (the mayoral equivalent to a mayor

I mean, we do have a system that has been designed in such a way as to prevent junk science from being banned from courtrooms, bars people from even suing to receive recompense for losses caused by many government agents, has laws and binding decisions that have no basis in medical fact, criminalizes far too many

My first-wife had an Escort when we were in high school. It would randomly just decide to stop working in the middle of a drive, and you’d have to sit there for a while before it would start back up again.

It’s almost like it was a mistake to set up a country where lawyers make the laws.

My son got hit by a co-worker backing a truck into a service bay (he works for a sign company, and they do those car wraps). Thankfully, though it looked gnarly on the security video, my son recovered fully and workman’s comp covered his injuries since he didn’t, you know, die.

I’m sure you’re right. I was relying on my memory and thinking mine said VTEC on the engine cover and on the black side molding, but now that I think about it, it just said DOHC.

One of my neighbors has an MR2 Spyder, and I like seeing it every time I drive by. 

I think by the second-generation, they were all VTEC. At least my bottom-rung RS sedan was (though they had more than one engine offering).

He’s very vulnerable. So much so that after this, he goes back in time and kills Cliff Main’s wife by tossing her off a boat and ends up being arrested by Keith Mars.

We had a pinball machine in our house for a long time when I was a kid in the ‘70s and ‘80s. Ours was some sort of western-themed machine, but it was one of the few games I could play with my Dad, who mostly eschewed video games. 

Yeah, my 1990 Integra was a four-door RS model with an automatic. I would have preferred a manual back then but I didn’t actually get to choose (father bought it for me to go to college). But that thing was pretty spartan otherwise.

I spend the most time in Texas where the number of days an open sunroof is comfortable is somewhat less than 10, in my opinion.

British automotive electronics are not known for their resilience.

Montclair was the name of the toilet in the 1979 cinematic classic ‘Scavenger Hunt.’

There are a bunch of similar (though not entirely identical) taxing districts in my state (Texas) that were set up to build a bunch of infrastructure for some new development that gets paid for by municipal bonds issued by the taxing district and backed by additional taxes put on the eventual residents of that taxing

Are cops not allowed to sit outside bars and wait to pull people over?
