“worst owner in the history of professional sports: Donald Sterling”

Can I put in a vote for Marge Schott? I mean I am absolutely not taking anything away from Donald (of course its another Donald. Ugh) but Marge has to at least get an honorable mention in this category.

February 2015, driver was 49 years old, got out of the vehicle when the gates trapped her car, then got back in to the SUV and drove directly in to the path of the train rather than backing up out of the way.

Apparently I am bucking the trend here based on the votes so far, but I would absolutely buy a high-mileage LWB Rover that appears to have been well conditioned and maintained, especially one that has been smartly modified to eliminate potential weak spots like the air suspension.  NP, this is just about the only…

How do you determine the age group for drunk drivers?

Problem in C5 or 6 Corvettes too I believe.

IIRC it was only 2-3 years ago a women in her 50's was killed when her Mercedes SUV stopped on train tracks and she couldn’t figure out the unconventional transmission shifter configuration. This isn’t limited to only older drivers, and I would argue that since the pushbutton transmission of the 50's cars have had 40+…

I’m confused by much of your statement. Why would using the RE off the pavement be cause for alarm? I am currently living in an RV park, nothing is paved out here yet I ride my Harley Sportster in and out of here as well as my KTM Duke. Both considerably more oriented toward the street, yet it is comforting to know…

Hey now get in line with the rest of us wannabee writers.

Alternate title;

Hey whoa let’s not go overboard there bucko, I mean I’m bike-curious but you promised you wouldn’t bring that up since we both agreed it was just the ouzo talking that night, #nohomo am I right? <laughs nervously>

Indeed they have, normally labeled on one knob or the other on the stereo, or even accessible through a single button in more recent years.  However with the predominance of large screen infotainment systems finding simple controls is a mess of touchscreen menus.  Arguably more complex.

I don’t disagree, but the reason it hasn’t passed is groups like AARP have argued that it is discriminatory and ageist. OK fine I am willing to get tested more often and (frankly most people of any age would benefit from more testing anyway) if it gets more dangerous drivers off of the road.

Right, and they were labeled on the knob on the stereo. Now you have to go through a series of menus on the infotainment system to get there. 

“Stick to sports”

And I love you for it Bradley.

No, though the location of other “simple” systems have changed, including start/stop switches replacing keyed ignition switches and shift levers becoming knobs and not maintaining the PRNDL configuration. All of which can contribute to confusion.

Had to vote CP on this one. Why? Not the safety aspects, not the lack of 4WD, simply because there are similar vintage small basic trucks out there for less money. Mazda B-series and Nissan Hardbodies are just as reliable and for one reason or another haven’t had their market go nuts like the ‘Yota’s have. Yeah if you…

Photos indicated the driver and passenger were both elderly. This is irrelevant. People, no matter their age, should be required on a regular basis to re-take the driving exam. Said schedule should included a reduced time frame between testing as the driver ages and/or there is a suspicion of decreased reflexes or…

Just no, there is no amount of money nor improvements possible to switch my vote to NP. I didn’t even read the article. Eff this thing and all of its badge-engineered brethren. A pox of Crack Pipe upon all of their houses.

Which is why I think the wife will love it, she’s ridden a lot but all small displacement bikes and really just likes to cruise around. She had a Ducati Supersport for a while and never felt comfortable having that much power. She likes her 250 Ninja power-wise but doesn’t want a sportbike and doesn’t care for the…
