You forgot the Saab RV's. http://hooniverse.com/2010/04/21/2-s…

A nice writerly trope to indicate shock and stunned disbelief is to note that "the color drained from my face". To write that blood runs from your face sounds like cage fighting. Otherwise, all's good here - except for the part that explained why the 959 wasn't properly insured to its full value.

If sales volume is the only metric by which one defines success or intrinsic worth then we’re in trouble. Plenty of great or even legendary cars failed to make a dent on the sales charts but later became quite sought after when enthusiasts realized their value, examples being the BMW z3 coupe, Ferrari Dino and so on.…

Early on, Mercedes used fiber optics in the w123 chassis to illuminate switches - and also (I'm dim on this) check signal bulbs. The problem is this: some bonehead stereo installer at Best Buy will inevitably cut them. Unlike electrons, you can't strip and tape these 'wires' back together, photons refuse to work under…

I've got just the right outfit to be his right-hand-man.

Read the New Yorker article I linked to, then assert again that the cops in Texas don't steal from motorists. Seriously, read the article then tell me that a revered journal would print a lengthy and completely contrived lie. The cops in Texas, and to a lesser degree around the United States can confiscate your…

Oh I "think" I smell marijuana in your car. Now I'll take everything, your car, your phone, the cash you were carrying, and you're powerless to fight it. If you do fight it I'll take your kids too.

Are you sitting down?

No.

Seems legit.

Here's the dashcam I bought. It has two cameras, one I've placed in my back hatch. The front camera can be pivoted to face inward, which I'll do when the police pull me over. It has a great microphone and is very discreet at the top of my windshield. I bought it after being rear ended by a thug who then fled, but half…

As it stands now, cops search and harass an enormous proportion of innocent people hoping to bust the .01% that's breaking the law. They have no skin in the game. It's like playing a free slot machine.
