And your comment was 100% disingenuous. Yes, there are helmet laws on the books in all but three states, but in 31 states adults don’t need to wear one...so my comment was not disingenuous at all. I said that in most places in the U.S. you don’t need to wear a helmet, and I was correct.

You say that most states require helmets? I’m no mathematician, but I do know that 19/50 is not most.

I understand why we have safety standards for cars, but it seems pretty silly when you consider that it’s legal to ride a motorcycle, and in most places in the U.S. you don’t even need a helmet.

buying snow tires in a grocery store parking lot from some Craigslist weirdo in a van!

I’m sure that other people have mentioned this already, but if you have “a medical condition that requires them to be shielded from the direct rays of the sun” what the hell are you doing in California? I think that these plates were obtained fraudulently.

I agree. For this price it has to have something weird that’s keeping the price so low and keeping people from buying it.

Is Audi’s name holding them back? Sure, they’re successful...but they’re Audi. There are a few in my neighborhood and they’re all just “meh” whenever I see them, and even the nice ones get the “oh, it’s just an Audi” reaction when I see what they are. Back when I was in grade school a classmate bragged one day that…

They ruin it for those of us who are considerate

at my shop there’s nothing better than having a customer pay in cash

Don’t think you need an actual shop to turn wrenches, hell you don’t even need a driveway.

Seeing a picture like that makes me glad that the driving age was 14 when I was growing up. You were only supposed to drive to and from work and school until age 16, but most parents didn’t care.

I admire your optimism and glass-half-full attitude.

Nice work.

It wouldn’t be the end of the world (and might actually be more pleasant for daily driving).

How would a car like this handle if you put on some 15" or 16" wheels and tires with more sidewall? Would that hurt its handling and performance? It would definitely change the look of the car, but that’s preferable to dropping over $200 to replace a single tire.

This is why GRC is better than WRC. With GRC you get to see all of the action and each race is only five minutes or whatever long and the cars are bumpin’ and rubbin’ each other the whole time. With WRC you only get to see individual cars as they pass you and that’s it.

I’m sure that this was what most people expected your trip TO Moab to be like, so it’s nice that your Jeep held up as long as it did. And I’ve spun out in the snow on I-70 in Colorado (right outside the west end of the Eisenhower Tunnel) so I know how terrifying it is to lose control and hit the highway divider, and…

Some simple snap on and snap off bits and pieces should be well within the reach of modern technology.

Why does the U.S. have any right to mine Chinese harbors or have any say about what happens in the South China Sea? It really pisses me off that our roads and other infrastructure are crumbling in the U.S. but we’re spending increasing amounts of money each year on the military.

Can they disconnect your airbag until the new one comes in? Because if you’re gonna gamble with an airbag that might kill you or not having an airbag, I’d choose not having an airbag.
