I’m going to use the Wikipedia definition of ‘vehicle’ because it includes boats and ships. Based on that definition, I have been responsible for making the MV Puyallup move, which is a Washington State Ferry.

In response to Hagrid’s Hairy Hamroll and not touching other people’s cars, there is one exception. If another car is parked so close to your car (This can’t always be avoided.) that you can’t open your door without it touching their car, put your fingers between your door and the other car.

Did anyone else notice the people halfway up the staircase on the other side who could have been killed if that car bounced over there?

I bought a rental car earlier this year from the Hertz Rent-to-Buy program. It’s a 2014 Mazda2 that had 14,000 miles on it, and it cost $10,500 before taxes. I love that I was able to buy a practically new car for thousands less than it would have otherwise cost. Plus it’s an automatic with only 100 horsepower, so

Seriously! WTF Lamborghini?! Why won’t you give this to us?!

Holy crap! I don’t have anywhere near enough energy to be a crazy person!
