To register a car in Texas (or in New York), one must have windshield wipers. However, the windshield itself is optional.

I think you beat me to this by minutes.

I don't think it's uncalled for to call this a "panic" reaction. Even if it was justified and people with cooler heads might've made the exact same decision. There's nothing wrong with saying: "My car was surrounded by strangers acting violently and, in fear of my family's safety, I panicked and bolted." That's…

Don't forget to include Saab 900 SPGs in the exceptions for #10! IIRC, they came with the package and were kind of nice on those cars since the rear window was so massive. Nice to have a little cover up.

I don't "get" these three wheelers. They combine the worst aspects of both a car and a motorcycle and few, if any, of the perks. They look like they'd be awesome toys to throw around a track and provide a visceral thrill that's safer than motorcycle racing and possibly more adrenaline pumping that car racing. But on a…

You probably don't know what the hell this is unless you live in San Francisco or one of the other major metropolitan areas that are allowing Lyft to move in. But if you see one, be sure to run far, far away.

Pretty sure I saw one of those outside the MC shop I was apprenticing at once. The car pulled over, not parking very well and taking up some of our MC parking spots. Then the couple inside had a weird argument and both people walked away leaving the doors open and the key in the ignition.

My wife says she knew some kids in college who managed to joyride one while they were in college. Cops came to bust a party and they boosted the cruiser while the cops were inside breaking up the party. They were really high and didn't realize what an incredibly stupid and risky thing they'd done. IIRC, she says they…

Looks like the BMW sped up incrementally right before it hit. I imagine it's your usual paniced driver hits the gas instead of the brake issue. Just like the olds that plow through a crowd of pedestrians in panic mode.

Nothing like a good salad restaurant go leave you feeling like you only sorg of ate and vaguely unsatisfied. Why would I want to meet anyone here?

Right there with you. People who complain about fixies have never ridden one. They are less scary than people think. And actually quite efficient. Slap a front brake on and yr golden. Braking with the crank won't burn out like a (mostly useless) coaster brake or become completely pointless in the rain like rim…

Pointless. It's a given in most zombie literature that the colder parts of the world are generally safe zones as zombies do not have a functioning cardiovascular system. They'd just freeze.

Packed trains are awful. Especially for women I magine. But I would kind of rather suffer collectively than deal with the insufferable entitlement of some Americans on public transportation. There's nothing more obnoxious than the rich middle aged lady on a crowded train that passive aggressively mutters under her…

Is that mil-spec cooler on the back? If it is, I think I got one just like it at the local Piggly Wiggly.

Oh wow, I live in Oakland and I have some good friends in Sebastopol. I'm pretty sure their water comes from the Russian River and I cannot drink tap water at their place. Whereas in the bay area, I think anyone carrying around bottled water has got to be a stone cold dumbshit as the tap water here is the best.

It seems like he speeds up at around 0:07 after he lane splits between the black hatchback and the other silver car on the right. The lorries are clearly visible at that point. It's hard to judge speed, but it also seems like he really should have been able to stop faster. That did not seem like a panic stop at all.

Everyone puts stupid bumper stickers on their cars. But this one means you should just go back to Berkeley and stick your head in the sand with all the other fools. I'm a tree-hugging liberal, but even I hate these people.

I forgot Wong Kar Wai directed one of these. Such a great choice. He can convey as much in one lingering shot as some directors use a whole movie to do.

I've used a few of these in rental cars. It's fucking stupid. It's a great way to make people think you're a horrible driver. The push to upshift, pull to downshift makes no sense. That decision must've been made by someone who's never driven a true manual before.

That's the era that my parents started buying Cadillacs. After couple Sedan DeVilles, they somehow got wrangled into a Coupe De Ville. How they convinced my dad to spring for a 2 door considering me & my sister were getting older and bigger is beyond me (frankly, the car was just as big as the sedan, it just had two…
