Regarding the brakes: given the low mileage (13,XXX miles), unless the rotors are scored, bent (from an impact), warped, they should be fine. And the pads, unless they’ve been fouled with oil or brake fluid, should also be fine as long as they are within spec for thickness. That said, replacing the pads with something…

He won’t get any soap—it’s a choking hazard for him.

“No injuries reported”?

You’ll have to be more specific. And you might want to look in the mirror, so to speak...asshole.

I just don’t understand people paying lots of money for a car or motorcycle and then not taking care of it. Sure, people can become unemployed or sick or disabled, I get that. But lots of the stuff that’s wrong is just a complete failure to maintain the vehicle or attend to repairs.

Roughly 9,000 Miatas = 90 semi-trucks.

Easy--stadium parking lots.

Steve? Ignoring the state of the tires’ age, did you check the tire pressure before you rode off? I’ll bet it was way too low. My recent test ride before purchase had me practically bench-pressing the bars to make the bike turn, I was terrified that I’d crash the thing. Got it back to the guy’s house: front tire was…

Somebody needs to tell Kari (is it possible to tell her anything?) that the NRA has a mere 4.3 million members. That leaves about 345 million of the rest of us to kick the shit out of ‘em. And lots of have guns, too.

If they truly want to kill it, they’ll get Leslie Jones in on the action. She can take any sport and make is amazing and hilarious, too.

My brother/sister “burner”—I will leave room for you in my unburnable raft, I’m going prepared!

F.U.! Winnie-the-Pooh is Jesus/Adoshem/Bhudda/Mohamed rolled into one. I will fight anybody on this!

a TV drama about the life of Jesus Christ, a notorious carpenter who created a great deal of hubbub in the Middle East some two millennia or so ago.

Oops, that’s what I meant but it’s way too late to edit my comment!

Time for me to move to Norway! I like to drive fast (especially on a motorcycle) and I’m poor—sounds like a win-win for me!

I read a story a couple years back (I forget which park it was at): the bears learned that they could open up some locked cars by jumping up and down on the roof of the vehicle until the doors popped open. So: cars totaled.

Plus, the space station actually has way more interior space than that plane does. It even has specially designed exercise equipment so that the astronauts don’t suffer the atrophying aspects of living in space. Compared to that Cessna, the ISS is a mansion.

Compared to the oval track races, absolutely. But I love the way the GT class cars hug the road like F1 cars do, there’s something amazing to me about the way they do that.

IDGAF! I’m waiting for...

Michael Flynn was a decorated member of the military, too, so that doesn’t automatically confer “truth” to whatever they’re saying.
