If Rob can find a Citation for sale tomorrow, I am going to be really impressed.

Is false imprisonment the right charge? It doesn’t seem so to me,

Yeah, the prosecutor probably just wanted to reach a plea deal by waving around extra charges.

It’s a great statement for a jury to hear, but it might not be as helpful in the filing for the judge. But I’m guessing the attorney who wrote it knows the judge by reputation, if not direct interaction, and knows what will work.

And remember, this is just the shit we find out about.

Hell, instead of paying out-of-pocket (I bet you’d see a lot of cops with no assets in their names declare bankruptcy), make them carry insurance against it, like medical malpractice insurance. At some point, we would hope insurers would charge so much or drop crooked departments/cops often enough that it would clean

Yeah, the fuel issue seems trivial to remedy. The pi to send clear codes does seem like a reasonable solution, as long as you can get it wired in without interfering with other nodes you want accurate info from.

I doubt this ends up in production, but it is a cool idea. And I could see modular storage solutions and accessories taking advantage of it if it works/is offered.

That’s pretty fun, but I think I would be really annoyed by having fault codes for parts that don’t exist. Maybe someone will figure out a workaround, though. Or just create a digital dash for the Mav. And knowing that the Escape dash is largely compatible will certainly help with that.

It’s so you can hear you. When you think of singing along to the radio with passengers in the car, just remember that you sound like that.

There were .38 snubnose revolvers and smallish .32s and .380s pretty available (not like the Keltecs and such of today, but at least as concealable as his .22 revolver probably was). But mostly, I think, you take the gun you have. Besides, he probably figured going in armed would be enough of a surprise to have the

Short lifecycles of engines and of parts. It’s easy to bemoan the complexity of modern engines and the cost of a repair, but we are making major repairs less often and full engine rebuilds are far less common.

Yeah, and it is especially difficult to convince individuals in places that charge more for recycling service. Hard to encourage recycling when that bin adds to or multiplies your monthly charge.

Yeah, I think that they are one of the two most popular sedans of their size around here. You see Subaru and Toyota sedans often enough among the seas of SUVs and pickups.

Well, I think everyone’s new choice of zombie apocalypse ride just dropped.

Hey, this is the first time Idaho’s consistent placement in the bottom 25% of everything has been positive. We need this.

I know zero deaths grabs attention, but I hate completely unrealistic goals with no timelines. Talk about 20% reduction in two years. Something we can measure.

The shade helps, but it still won’t match not having glass there. Especially on the ones with really thin shades. I checked out the ID.4, for example, and it did not have the hard cover, but a very thin, flexible cover, which provides virtually no insulation.

I don’t shift mine a whole lot, but it certainly gets some use, and I don’t tow. Hills, like you said, and also sometimes just because I want to be in a gear for acceleration or efficiency purposes.
