This is pretty much what I thought, such wormholes would make travelling in cars (or pretty much any other non-wormhole based transportation) obsolete. You might have to acquire a shopping cart for your belongings that you wish to transport.

You have to pay sales tax either way. When you lease you pay sales tax on the amount you are paying during the lease, then at the end if you finance the residual you pay the tax on the residual. We did roll the sales tax into the finance and still were under the book value for the loan. ** Edit: in my state we pay…

The residual on my wife's car was 24k, and it appraised for 28k when I financed it. I went through the credit union and got a 1.9% apr loan, sent the payment directly to the financial service and cut the dealership out of the equation entirely. Had I returned it to them or financed through them I would have had to…

I'll bet the depreciation is more than the $350 it costs for this thing...

It probably survived uninjured even if it wasn't. The common gray squirrel is documented to be able to fall over 100 feet and survive by using it's tail as a sort of parachute. At that distance, it is most certainly at it's terminal velocity meaning it won't fall any faster due to wind resistance. See this link if…

A current GTR is not a skyline. You should get that idea out of your head. There is no longer such a thing made as a Skyline GTR.

You are correct, he is mistaken. Mythbusters did an episode on this exact scenario once.

I agree, but I anticipated whining dissent from the stodgy jalops who don't agree.

Brainstorm 1983, precursor to Strange Days, but I don't think that's where this came from.

Not the same Heather. Still, as you say... Small world.

For some reason I can't recall, I think they didn't go to the same school. At least they didn't at the time I knew them. I could be wrong about that.

The girl I dated was named Heather, and had a non-identical twin sister named Christie. Their dad was (and possibly still is) a plastic surgeon in Hot Springs. I think if you know her you should know exactly who I'm talking about.

I'm pretty sure I know several people that graduated from Lake Hamilton around that time, I think I even dated a girl that went there when I was a freshman.

I started in fall '90 and graduated in '94. All that wild driving, and never one speeding ticket there. Arkadelphia cops used to love catching students headed back into town with their booze purchased in Hot Springs, so that was kind of a speed trap too. My son's grandmother still lives in the Bismarck area, so I…

I drove that section of hwy 7 many, many times back in my college days. In fact, I lost my virginity in the back of a car travelling between those two cities. Scared the living shit out of some passengers that rode with me on a couple of occasions. It's amazing that I'm still alive at this point. I am a much more…

Most likely for the same reason you cannot buy a new Nissan B13 Sentra in the United States, even though it is still manufactured in Mexico as a Nissan Tsuru and sold in many south and central american countries. It has no airbags or stability control, and therefore does not meet DOT standards any more.

After a little research I have found that Nissan only has a lifetime warranty on seatbelts from 1989 through 2002 year models. After that, the warranty is 10 years. That sucks for anyone driving a 2003, the warranty is already expired.

So each manufacturer can choose whether or not to cover seatbelts for the car's lifetime? They are covered in Nissans, so I apparently wrongfully assumed that this must have been required by law...

Seatbelts are required to be covered by a lifetime warranty, any legislation that requires this system should also require that any related sensors be covered by the same lifetime warranty.

It's perfect, after you cream your shorts and shit yourself you can just hose it down...
