Pretty sure that’s changed in the last 70 years. I’ve heard some terrific stories about people getting their license in NYC. My mother failed 2 times back in the 60's. As such, when it was my turn in the 80's in a quaint CT town, I had to pass mom’s version of the test before the State’s version. Her idea was a stress…

I can’t imagine why border agents suspected someone would be smuggling bologna in a car... oh wait... 120 pounds of bologna in the un-refrigerated trunk of a car waiting, possibly hours, to cross into Texas from Mexico.

I’ve got those bi-xenon lights on my GTI, accidentally turned on the brights on a dark night and illuminated a brand new road sign and damn near drove off the road just from the reflection.

I got a ticket reduced from speeding (I’m in CT, that’s expensive here) to not wearing your seatbelt (I was, but that ticket was only $17.50). It went like this, State cop comes up to the window, “You know why I pulled you over?”

That made my day!  Thanks!

It’s gotten so bad with all of the newer SUV’s and crossovers and the new lights that I’ve started to wear yellow tinted lenses at night. Doesn’t make them less bright, just takes out the blue part of the spectrum so the light doesn’t cause physical pain. I’ve always had issues at night, but these new lights have made…

Ick... just take his helmet and anything else you might need, give him a good spanking and send him home to mommy.

In most places, probably not so normal... but with the quantity of abandoned and/or burned out armor laying about in Ukraine these days, slightly used helmets (worn a few times, only dropped once) it’s probably kinda common over there.

Urgent!!!

Used Tunguska

What if the previous occupants ran away with them?  Will any type of helmet work?  You know, just in case I stumble across some abandoned Russian armor and enough fuel.

Haven’t seen that episode hence my comment.  Carry on.

Doubt you’ll need to imagine it. How hard would you try to hold on to the worst driver in the field when his daddy’s money was now frozen by sanctions and there will probably be visa bans on Russians into NATO countries and probably non-NATO countries.

Seriously man? Just getting rid of Mazepin means they can reduce the budget for spare body work, that alone cuts millions off what they had put aside for the season.

Well, they already own enough of New Haven that if they want to put one in they’ll just demo a bunch of properties. and start paving.

Nah... but if it was your team and 1) the major sponsor was a Russian oligarch who was summoned by Putin for discussions on the invasion prior to it occurring, 2) the major sponsor’s money was now frozen so they couldn’t pay you and 3) the pay driver was the worst on the grid, would you even flinch given the…

First time I’ve seen someone TRIPLE KINJA’D!

Pretty sure it gets colder and they get more snow in Milwaukee. But to your point, in Milwaukee you don’t have to deal with steam shooting up out of subway grates, ConEd accidentally electrifying the sidewalk, stepping off the sidewalk into an ankle deep puddle of whatever was in that pothole, almost no place to put…

I’ve been living in Fairfield County, Connecticut for the last 18 years. You just wear work clothes (Dickies, black boots, company baseball hat) and you’re invisible to anyone with money in certain places. “Ugh, a peasant...” As sklooner notes, the reflective vest and clipboard probably provide additional cover.

Nice Score!
