So the truck is going to be recording all the time. This will be used by the police against the owners most of the time.  

Cool, then get a radio and store it in your basement until you need it. No need to force auto makers to put it in your car, most likely buried under 3 submenus.

I don’t think “We build police cruisers and cars that narc on you,” is the good sales pitch Ford thinks it is. You’d think after the way “spy cars watching for speeding” went over that they would at least try to patent this under a shell corp.

Generally speaking, if you’ve lost power, you don’t have a radio.  It would never occur to me to use AM radio to tune in anything significant.

Considering that Ford’s own Fusion—assembled in Hermosillo, Mexico—frequently came with drugs smuggled somewhere in the factory-to-retail pipeline...this doesn’t surprise me.

That is a good way to wear your ankles as earrings if you are in an accident. Do you want to see what the soles of your feet look like up close, if the answer is no then don’t put your feet on the dash. Plus it is just clatty. 

My brother thought it was funny to flip the bird at a sheriff’s deputy when I drove past him. Fucking asshole, both of them. That was an hour out of my life I’ll never get back as the deputy damn near tore the care apart trying to find a reason to ticket me, and my brother kept antagonizing him. I even told he was…

The prolonged exposure to cosmic radiation needs to be addressed too. Not sure how much shielding is required for the ship, the lander, and the habitat. I suspect the best plan is to find a cave or some other natural shield on mars and camp out there.

I played rugby in college was usually the designated driver. Often the drives back would be 5+ hour hauls after 80 minutes of rugby and a few hours of the “3rd half” social party afterwards. On one of these drives back, a particular troublesome underclassmen was blackout drunk and non-stop trash talking to the other 4…

Any mission to colonize Mars would be 1-way. The impossible conditions, lack of resources, and inability to receive aid in anything close to a timely manner would ensure that the chances of anyone being able to return are slim to none.

Got phenomenally drunk and peed all over his gear while camping, and then threw it in my car without recognizing how much pee was actually in one of the bags.

So what would we actually need to do in order to go to mars?

Had a passenger lean across from the back seat to shoot (yes shoot) a BB gun at another car because “he thought it was his friend’s car”. I pulled over and booted his ass from the car, and then dragged back him to my house six hours later, at 10:00 pm that evening to explain to the understandably pissed off cop in my…

Ottawa to Detroit, 8.5 hours with someone with bad foot odor who insisted on taking their shoes off.

Was getting amorous with a relatively new girlfriend, and another friend of mine needed rescuing late at night from a party they went to. Dropped everything and went to go save her with said new girlfriend with me.

Turned out, she had been partying hard without hydrating properly, and here I am driving my half-ton…

Be a bad navigator.

Unoriginal answer: Barf. But that smell is hard to get out.

Reached over and honked the horn at someone else on my behalf. Someone who was driving dumb, not, like, a friendly honk to someone we knew or something.

Also, how is pissing off Chechnyan warlords conducive to a long, assasination-free life?

“Gundalf” was RIGHT THERE
