Oh, that’s still fine. New tail light, maybe a new bumper if you’re into that sort of thing, and it’s ready to go. I’d daily it.

Reading more about the story, this would appear to be less about racism than about serious mental illness. Hopefully Kendall gets the help he needs before he hurts anyone else - particularly considering that the figures he’s fixated on are members of a traditionally victimized community, who have enough to worry…

At this price, I would be VERY cautious of a scam or fraud. And would certainly buy it tomorrow if it were local and legit.

Yes, I don’t already do this. I simply rinse the brush with a flush, tap three times very gently on the toilet rim to loose the majority of the water, and then put the brush in its holder, where any remaining water evaporates.

10/10. Would daily-drive. (Basically already do, but that’s much prettier than mine.)

Oh, I didn’t realize you knew “these officers”.

How would you do it? Keeping in mind that by our self-imposed rules here, you cannot cause her pain or risk injuring her, you cannot use any weapons, but you have to subdue her before she presents any risk to anyone else. Remember that she’s showing every sign of being deeply irrational, and could be having a medical…

I’m not sure what it is people would prefer the officers do. “Restraint” is a word often used, presumably by people who don’t know how injurious that can be to the person being restrained. Would they prefer the officers used their batons?

All excellent tips, to which I would add:

In addition to the issues already raised by cleverer people than I, who says all the cameras are in use all the time? It’s entirely possible that the car only uses these other cameras for assistance, or in specific circumstances that he didn’t encounter when doing his “testing”, a word I put inside quotation marks…

It’s not really fair, because so many of my cars come from junkyards and other near-dead scenarios, but probably the weirdest quirk I had to deal with was on my 1986 BMW 325e. It, ah, didn’t have a clutch. I mean, it had a clutch, and a clutch pedal, but you couldn’t disengage the clutch with the clutch pedal.

Gee, how have I ever managed to get by for all these years with glass cleaner and paper towel.

Wouldn’t trade it for a brand-new JK, no matter how cold it gets up here, unless it was to sell the JK and buy 10 more “junky” XJs.

It’s out-of-date enough that one bridge listed as “structurally deficient” in my county is now “structurally way, way downstream”. :) But that’s happened since 2015, so only natural.

Indeed. That’s why I said “At least in this case, I can understand why it exists.”

“Even though belt use is at a record 86 percent, more than half of the people who die in passenger vehicle crashes each year are unbelted.“ That’s insane! Obviously what we should do as a nation is to get everyone to wear a seat belt, and thus cut car crash fatalities in half.

Not all of us dads are married, though.

I didn’t know about it. I bet a lot of people here didn’t know about it. We don’t all drive diesels. We don’t all drive cars that are only 10 years old. I’ve worked on literally dozens of exhausts, and never seen one with a tip like this. We don’t all know everything there is to know already. So it’s nice when someone…

Sadly, the exclusion of dads isn’t unique, or even rare. At least in this case, I can understand why it exists, but as someone who’s spent 20 years being a single father, I can tell you that vast swathes of the parenting landscape assume that women raise children and men can fuck off. (Okay, some of that’s bitterness;…

Even after a few select mods (chip, exhaust, intake, etc), my 325e never felt as sharp and electric when accelerating as it did when cornering (or braking, for that matter). It didn’t ruin the car - acceleration isn’t everything - but for me personally it was a disappointment in what was otherwise a virtually…
