It’s like keeping your trophy wife a virgin so her next husband can have a rockin’ good time.

“Someone killed a few people because of bad decisions after an equipment failure, so we should ruin his life by taking away his most productive years.”

Disagree, he should have used the truck ramp that he passed a few miles before the accident, but because he didn’t, people died.

Is there actually such a thing as clean transportation, or are we just kidding ourselves?

The prosecutor on this case put a trophy made from a brake shoe in her office, celebrating this “win.” I’m not quite willing to believe her summary of the plea negotiating process.

According to the prosecutor that was his position. It could have been the plea was 30 years, or something overly long, and the prosecutor refused to negotiate, denying the defendant a chance to come off his opening position of a traffic citation.

This...is how you negotiate a plea. You don’t start at what you think is reasonable. And a lawyer who says publicly his client’s ultimate position is a moron. Just because the DA offered a deal doesn’t mean it was a good-faith deal.

This should just be the Bronco Sport.

“Politics is about the art of the possible.”

I’m just going to throw this out there:

the comments here are absolutely mind blowing.

True that.  Thats the trouble with the golden wheelbase approach, it doesn’t leave a lot of room for more interior volume.  The 300 series land cruiser has the exact same wheelbase as my 80

The F150 Hybrid with the FX4 is the right answer here.

Paying $10k above MSRP for a used Tacoma seems like a great idea. 4Runner is probably equally overpriced and outdated, hard pass!

Yes, all. There should be no place for that kind of inflexibility in a justice system.

Mandatory minimum laws are obscene in all instances.

Did this guy fuck up and deserve to go to jail? Certainly.

Holy shit, child rapists, murderers and other far more horrible people get far less time than this.  Did this guy fuck up and deserve to go to jail?  Certainly.  Does he deserve 110 years, not even close.  Total failure of the system here so far.

They moved it to June, but it’s never actually happened due to COVID.
