Do you ever jaywalk as a pedestrian? I do. Do you ever speed in your car? I do.

Amen.

3rd Gear: More like putting a fox in charge of Fox Incorporated’s Hen House Protection efforts. Somewhat less alarming, but meaningless in the end.

Replacing the apex seals on a 1974 Citroën GS Birotor... no wait, I installed a new head unit in my 1987 Chevrolet Turbo Sprint.

I was going to say that a yacht might be one of the few places outside of the Kremlin that he could go to, but I forgot that other secret services are probably well aware of this little boat and a drone attack could be hard to protect from. Or space lasers.

My sister used to live very near here, this street is often the site of shenanigans. The residents have tried for years to have Google Maps and other apps stop recommending it, as it is so steep and the crest is so sharp that people get stuck. Limos and school buses get highsided on the crest with some regularity, for…

I totally understand replacing an engine (not getting that doesn’t seem very Jalop), and this also means that his insurance payout will in no way equal the value of the car.

I think the Ides of March are just about gone, however.

No, I never said one should inconvenience/menace/buzz pedestrians. If there are traffic signals there to keep cars from plowing into each other then I consider them optional while on a bicycle. Luckily, the fact that a bicyclist is likely to get hurt pretty badly in any accident makes us want to avoid hitting anyone.…

I like the look of the Cheetah with the coupé bodywork better, but those are good additional reasons.

I have noticed that the only way to avoid this is to turn my back onto the street. Once the car starts passing me, I swing around and can walk across, without either of us losing any time.

Riding a bicycle means keeping your momentum. You don’t want to hit anything (it hurts), but you also absolutely don’t want to stop unless it’s necessary. Never been to Detroit, but I have commuted by bike and by car in Manhattan and boroughs for years.

Is there any other way to go left? In Queens you will likely as not get rear-ended if you don’t do this.

Yes to all of that, except half of the PA plates belong to sociopaths from the Bronx and Brooklyn who are saving money on taxes and insurance. But it’s pretty easy to tell which type you are dealing with.

See, I like that. I can always predict what a NYC driver (and most of the people who drive in the boroughs are bridge&tunnelers) will do, which enables me to predict their behavior and feel generally rather safe. It’s a bit like driving in Athens or Cairo or any other anarchic, large city.

I love Freccia Bros, their location next to all the gajillion-dollar supercars never fails to crack a smile. You should stop by Carriage House, too, they might let you test drive an Amphicar or something.

Fake cherry doesn’t taste medicinal in the least (you are just used to this s**t flavor being used in kids’ medicines), it tastes like petroleum byproducts and solvents. Try cherry-flavored candies or drinks from other countries and you will be amazed.

But does it have radar? And is it safe for pedos?

That’s not much of a compliment, I am afraid...

I read this yesterday, and it’s truly pathetic how the city is unable to enforce its own laws. Meanwhile, alternate side parking induces tens of thousands of people to idle their car for 90 minutes once a week (twice a week before COVID).
