I get tired of the rationalization of, “it was the last lap of the Daytona 500.” So that means everything is out the window and you can just knock people out of the way to win? The ends justify the means?

Something tells me the class-action lawsuit was the goal all along.

Channel 4 news? You dirtbags have been in third place for five years.

Kind of like a third of the state is just “North of San Francisco.”

I had a girlfriend whose parents lived in Pennsylvania and were flying out for a visit. We lived 2.5 hours north of San Francisco. They asked if we could swing by L.A. one of the days they were here. I said it was a 7.5 hour drive each way. East coasters have no concept of how large the western states are.

At least in the Bay Area, every freeway is some variation of 80. Typical directions are, “You take the 880 to the 580 which eventually dumps you off on the 680 and continue on until you see signs for the 280.” Granted, there is some system to the naming. Something like any freeway that is X80 is connected to the 80…

I always found “The City” to be pretentious. It’s not even the largest city by size or population in the Bay Area.

I used to think DUI’s were fairly rare. Apparently I live in a fantasy world. I don’t live in a large metropolitan area, but we average at least 15 to 25 DUI arrests a week. And they are usually only caught because they crashed into something or were weaving so badly in front of a cop they were stopped. I can’t…

I know, right? Just last week I got a ticket for eating lettuce on my burger. Why can’t I put plants or plant based products in my body?

And when society does show restraint (or just can’t afford to buy new things anymore) the news goes ape shit talking about how nobody is buying anything and the economy is going to crash and everybody is going to be out of a job.

I always shake my head at the responders to vehicle financing articles that loudly claim (while I’m assuming shaking their fist in the air,) “I only pay cash for my vehicles and I drive them for 40 years! Anybody who buys a new car is an IDIOT! Let some other sucker take the depreciation hit! Anybody who has to…

I have to agree. Nearly every rental car I’ve ever driven has been a pit of despair. I owned a Focus hatchback with a manual. I had to leave it at the dealer for a couple days for service and they gave me a Focus sedan with that terrible dual clutch automatic. I hated that car so much. I could not believe that they…

And of course it belongs to a California firefighter. I’m actually kind of astounded it’s not bright red. I thought they received those lifted bro-dozers as a signing bonus or something.

I didn’t mean you as in you. I was more referring to whoever owned that truck and obviously set up that shot to show it off, but it has 7 days worth of morning dew dust streaks on the hood.

I agree. I test drove an F-150 and it felt gigantic. The test drive area is some narrow, rural roads and it felt like I was white-knuckling it to keep it between the ditches. Then I drove the mid-sizers (Tacoma, Colorado, Frontier) and immediately felt much more comfortable. I’m not going to tow anything. I don’t need…

Wouldn’t you at least wash it before taking a glamor photo of your asphalt queen?

I kept thinking how neither one of those guys could actually see into the bed until they lowered the tailgate.

I just shake my head every time that woman sits in the car and says, “I feel like I’m in a really reliable car right now.” Really? You sat in a new car for five seconds and you can predict it’s long-term reliability. If you have some kind of vehicle reliability clairvoyance I’m sure there would be quite a few…

A coworker has a Z4. The go-to joke for the Neanderthals is to call it a Miata (inferring the gay joke.)

Old men call Lexus dealerships to whine about the spindle grille for 45 minutes to an hour? I guess retirement is excruciatingly boring.
