Props to the ATC who only needed 6 seconds to tell them to go around. A couple more seconds and the outcome could have been very different.

That peppermint idea is pure genius.

Totally agree about FASTRAK. They should also heavily ticket people who wait until the last minute just before the plaza to jump into cash lanes.

I don’t understand why anyone would commute in a car from Marin daily given the ferry situation. A bike I could see.

One of the first beers I ever had!

Looks like The Love Toilet to me.

I’m talking less about options and equipment and more about material look, feel, and fitment. Ford isn’t as bad as Chevy but it’s no luxury marque in that regard.

..and I don’t mean that sarcastically.

Automotive News spoke with one of these auctioneers who said he had an “outside relationship” with the dealer selling the car...

I’m 45 and I definitely didn’t learn it from a car. I probably knew it already, but the first place I definitely encountered it was Zork I.

I find it hard to believe we won’t get the Merc truck in the US. I’d be happy to rock the obviously-coming fully depreciated X63 in 10 years.

Oh shit! Open season on the LA freeway.

I looked at the pics before I read the article (which was good btw). And I thought “I can’t believe Mercedes puts their stupid tablet things on the high end stuff! Can’t this madness ever end? Luxury cars should not have those stuff iPad things stuck on the dash.”

Kudos to her. I will admit there was someone chopping onions in my office while I was watching this.

Never flipped a car (and only broke even or slightly better on maybe 1 of the dozens I’ve owned), but to me it’s only morally wrong if you take advantage of someone’s age or mental infirmity.

I don’t throw around the phrase Greatest American Hero very often...

If you always wanted a like-new XJ (and I don’t but there’s a butt for every seat), this might be your last opportunity.

With a name like Hank Scorpio I’d expect nothing less than easy access to nukes.

I grew up in the country outside Atlanta, and there was a railroad about 100 feet from my house. (That’s right, we were hicks.) In addition to the normal freight trains that came through several times a day, a few times per year we’d get a huge cadre of military personnel escorting one train. There would be infantry…

Yeah I would go even further “down” to the GTS with a manual. Hell, I’d probably even get a targa just to piss off the purists.
