Beautiful work! I can see the MMM influence...

11.) Lake Shore Drive (Chicago) 40-mph speed limit. Alternates between 40 and 45 depending on time of year. Still frustrating, and you WILL get honked and abused if you actually go that slowly.

Absolutely necessary. As I’ve pointed out to one other commenter in this article, there are lawyers who make their living by using every available loophole to help their clients get away with DUIs. What you are witnessing is an officer crossing his T’s and dotting his I’s.

* The tragedy is, unless he is a repeat offender, he will not see any jail time in IL, only some fines, a license suspension, and a temporary breathalyzer installed in his car. Unless he has an excellent lawyer, in which case he will part with nothing but a wad of cash.

I suspected her of continuing an affair I’d previously caught her in, but I couldn’t prove it. I figured untoward electronic correspondence, if any, would be done through her work (investment bank) email, as its security was tight, even requiring a keychain code to log in. I got into her work email anyway, found all…

I’ve always wondered why these cars don’t apply something like Rain X (or even just wax) to their windshields in the rain. Once I get past a certain speed (which these cars definitely surpass) the rain rolls off my windshield so quickly and cleanly that I can even turn my wipers off. (Though I don’t, because dammit I…

One of the better uses of Verdi’s Dies Irae I’ve come across.

The instant karma is glorious in that clip.

I cannot star this enough.

1999 Nissan Altima GXE. Despite all the preventative maintenance I threw at it (detailed below), it still refused to work right.

Clarkson doesn't participate in destroying cars for fun? Off the top of my head: Prius used as target practice, piano dropped on a Morris, Hilux submerged at high tide, then strapped to the top of a building being demolished. Granted, that last one wasn't 100% destroyed, but it wasn't for lack of trying.

Keep in mind that their on-screen personas are caricatures of their real-life personalities. If Jezza is a dick on Top Gear, it's because he may occasionally exhibit dick behavior in person, and producers found that funny. They're probably not finding it so funny now though.

Hey, I'm an Uber driver. Unfortunately, I'm in Australia, where we do not yet have the option of stabbing Lyft drivers. Uber is not all bad, yet not all good. It's a certain shade of grey (as some unfortunate passengers are apparently claiming).

Careful Doug. In your recent wagon article, you suggested that car enthusiasts love the notoriety that comes with driving something unique. This, then, would then become the ultimate jalop car. Dear God, what have you started...

He said, "care," not "mind." He doesn't mind if women get raped, but he cares... so he can put them in prison for sexual relations outside of marriage.

Or lack thereof. I thought Porsche would make #1 on this list, due to their Cayenne.

How the... I got pulled over for street racing ONCE, and it was enough to never do it again.

Damn! There go my Land Rover dreams.

Perhaps if they weren't so lenient, they wouldn't need a separate task force to deal with this epidemic.

Speaking of pristine OEM condition, the biggest thing that bothers me about this post is the mileage discrepancy. I don't care what excuses the seller has; if a CarFax shows one, I walk away. Can you get them to change it back?
