Nice hot take. Where do I advocate for police abuse? I want to see a stricter law for this type of activity just like the OP because it’s more than just reckless driving.

I’m not a big fan of asset forfeiture laws because of the abuses we have seen, but I could certainly get behind a narrowly applied one in these cases. Get caught doing donuts in an empty parking lot - maybe get a ticket. Get caught flagrantly stopping traffic and causing public disruption for your own fun - lose your…

Then you really should enjoy Carlito’s Way.

Well, he gains some credibility with me for using “fount” of knowledge correctly instead of “font”, so I’ll give him that at least.

Yup, and as a (now former) Bostonian, it takes even more liberty with Boston geography than it does with the accents. The rather famous City Hall is not Boston Police Headquarters, you don’t take Storrow Drive west along the Charles to get to Southie, and there are no quiet streets to park your car on near the Hatch…

Greetings fellow BU alum. I’m a bit older than you, but be thankful you missed the 90 minute debacle of Mario Vargas Llosa at my graduation in ‘92. Damn authors.

Purchased in New Jersey, but spent most of its life Connecticut making frequent trips to Vermont. Yeah, plenty of snow.

The most Jalop car my mom ever owned. It was an absolute tank. Took my driver’s license test on it, not long after it was replaced by a Subaru GL wagon with a 5-speed manual. Not my photo but this was its identical twin.

This post has been up for three hours and not one Papal Bull joke? Guys...

The Pope... in a Lamborghini?

The strange pod on the back of this one is the Linear Aerospike Rocket Engine (LASRE) Experiment, which was testing aspects for a single-stage-to-orbit spacecraft.

So true. A point people don’t appreciate is that in 1977, not only did the Internet not exist, but neither did summer blockbusters as we know them. There wasn’t massive hype until Star Wars opened and the reviews/word of mouth started coming in. It’s opening weekend was relatively quiet and it took some time for the…

Bring something with a f*#%king manual transmission and I will literally buy it tomorrow. You sell them in Europe, bring it here, dammit. I have an ‘07 A4 Avant with a 6-speed sitting in the driveway that we’ve owned since new. It’s got 170K miles on it and it’s not going to last forever (though half of it has been…

Elba as the bandit, Woody as the sheriff, Owen as the Snowman.

I’d like to provide a little additional color. It’s helpful to understand the structure of how these entities inter-relate to understand what’s going on here.

They can’t, it’s illegal for both the registered investment advisor to receive and also for the investment to pay to an RIA because they are not broker dealers (aka stock brokers). Investments like mutual funds can only pay money to broker dealers.

I worked for an alt radio station in the 90s and had the chance to chat with all of them at several meet and greets. Four of the nicest, least “rock star” people you will ever meet. Totally in love with their craft and enjoy about it. Shirley is the sweetest girl-next-door in the world, and that Scottish accent just…

That’s what you get when three producers decide to form a band and hand pick their lead singer. They are total production nerds (meant in the best possible way).

2013 BMW X3 2.0 is rated for 89.

The light is a little weird, particularly in the top photo, but it’s definitely paint. It was listed on the window sticker as an option with some insane price and it does have a sort of frost effect to it. Basically the dealer specs the car with every M Sport option and some insane color to get attention.
