As for the minor infractions bit, it would not take much to start issuing tickets via mail to the registered owner. Even without changing the law, it would be an inconvenience to respond to tickets and claim you weren’t driving, but a change to the law could make someone liable for traffic infractions for borrowed…

Felony murder charge is not the same as a murder charge. The cop can’t be charged with that because he was not committing an unrelated felony. He could be charged with vehicular manslaughter, but the felony murder charge will go to the carjackers.

They’ll get slapped with felony murder because the prosecutor will argue the death occurred as a result of the felony in progress. It’s the same way people get charged with murder when the cop shooting at them kills a bystander.

That was my first thought, too. The carjackers will most likely get felony murder because this cop (allegedly heading to help pursue them) hit and killed a pedestrian. The cop will get some paid leave and be back at it shortly thereafter.

These lenders, in the states that allow this, are taking advantage of the fact that most people need cars to get to work, given the state of public transportation. In order to afford a car to work (and improve their credit), people find themselves taking out unfavorable loans that they hope to afford by being able to…

My mental image goes to the F350 shopper who sees this ad and decides that this is the vehicle that will best suit their needs.

Teslas have eight, like the far superior spider.

I can get behind a little bit of keywording similar vehicles, but that is a ridiculous number of keywords, the majority of which are completely unrelated to anything people might cross-shop with this. Wow.

$5700 is still a lot of money to convert a boring car, especially while incentives exist for newer, more exciting electrics. It may be a better use of money, but people will still look at that and the trade as a good start toward a new vehicle, rather than doing the conversion. Cool cars are worth targeting, because…

Thank you for reading this so we don’t have to.

Anything with a driver who learned their shifting from movies. I knew a guy with a New Beetle that thought he was race shifting. I mostly thought he was going to destroy his clutch.

I have trouble taking any claim of massive job losses seriously, but it really comes off more as a threat, since these are the employers planning on laying people off. It’s less a prediction of workforce reductions and more of a threat to try to delay the switch to all-electric.

I sympathize with your plight. The last time I drove stick was nearly twenty years ago. And the owner stopped me when I commented on how much less I had to push on the clutch in his Civic than the old stepside Chevy I learned in. It really is hard to convince someone to let you drive their manual when you aren’t super…

The Fit is much better at this, but we have had the technology to have slide out or flip down cupholders for decades, and there are plenty of gaps in the Staria dash. A little reshuffle of dash items and they wouldn’t have even had to do much at all.

With the holes in that dash, they could have put pull out or flip down cupholders in pretty easily. Have we just forgotten that those are technologies that have long existed?

Maybe the heavier “brow” of the above-indicator-placement designs triggers some deep-seated Neanderthal prejudices,

I got to see one in a grocery store parking lot a couple years ago, but I did not go talk to the staff. Didn’t know about the whistles.

Well, now I need to find the Weinermobile and get 4 free whistles. Then find an old apple mouse. I really want the complete set listed here.

This is a series of words that may only have occurred once in human history. Barring drastic changes to the meaning of consumer or the operations of dealers, this may also be the last circumstance in which the phrase will ever be appropriate.

The problem is that part of why the low pay is justified by the market is that people are all too often in the position of deciding whether to take poor pay and conditions or not make any money, leading to homelessness and hunger. The company, on the other hand, is in the position of paying the workers as little as…
