Hmm at that point it may be you I'm afraid.

I could never understand how “trapped on a boat with 3,000 people and their germs” is considered a vacation idea.

A group of my friends were inconsolably butt-hurt when I refused to buy in to a cruise vacation with them TWO FUCKING YEARS in advance. I told them I wanted to wait because, you know, a lot of shit can happen in two years. They ended up on a boat with a listeria outbreak.

Because they may have also banged up the suspension or ruined the alignment. The automaker wants to ensure that they have a good car to review.

I drive a Land Cruiser, which replaced a 4Runner. The 4Runner had 65 series tires on a 17" rim. My Land Cruiser has 60 series tires on an 18" rim. Even here in Boston, where roads are full of potholes in the winter, I’ve never blown a tire or bent a rim. I do, of course, have a full size spare.

It might be wasteful. But it wouldn’t bother me if I was in the back of this car and my driver was driving me to my destination.

BMW’s don’t come with spare tires. They use run flats.

Well I sure as hell know I don’t believe you.

That statement is just beyond stupid...

I’d wager it was more like 2016-2016.

Actually, since they took a mouth muscle from it, it’s probably crawling around but cannot scream it’s displeasure.

This is actually the standard procedure for Stingray use by the FBI - they call it “parallel construction”. After gaining info by using a Stingray, agents are instructed to figure out a second, legal way of discovering the same info, and to claim in court documents that they found the info using the second method.

More likely is that the Stingray will be used to gather info, that info is used to gain knowledge of a crime, and then they reverse-engineer some way to get a conviction. The use of the stingray will not be mentioned.
