My kid is in school in Queens; this is absolutely 100% the parents’ fault. There is rarely any need to drive your kids in the first place: https://steinhardt.nyu.edu/research-alliance/research/spotlight-nyc-schools/how-far-do-nyc-students-travel-get-school

Maybe we don’t need to drop out little darlings off directly at the school’s door. I get that not every family lives where it’s possible for them to get their kids to school on foot or bike, where school bus service (for public schools) might be inconvenient, and that some kids are a little young to send them on…

Imagine, for a moment, that your situation is purely your own. Imagine that other people exist. Now imagine - instead of dogs - some of those other people have children with car seats, or adult coworkers that often ride together, or a hundred other situations that would require a livable back seat.  Those kinds of…

It’s only down 35 hp from my 2001 M3...

I can’t count the number of times where something mildly insane happened to me and I later on wondered why the hell I didn’t do X, because obviously X would have been clear and reasonable thing to do, rather than Y, which was either somewhat useless or completely counter-productive. Things like this put us in weird…

A nice side effect of my dashcam is that is makes ME a more, umm, polite driver. Any time I get fired up by others’ stupidity, I think, do I really want to record my own aggressive response?  

No money for Musk

Counterpoint: A fwd sedan with a summer set of tires and a winter set of tires will perform better, safer and with less expense than a typical AWD sedan. In fact, expenses can be significantly less if you are able to store the 2nd set of wheels/tires in your garage or shed, and swap them out twice/year. This is what i…

I always assumed there was this sizing up going on between trucks. A complex amalgam of size, horsepower, lift, tow mirrors, price, sound, wheels (number, size and width), speed and “what they’re hauling”.

Practically a unicorn. An article about trucks where the author realises that big trucks are basically just a dick measuring ego stroke.

The correct truck is the one you rent from Home Depot for $20 a day.  UNLESS you actually use them for work(not office work) or farm.

Fuck this thing.

Unfortunately I have a good understanding of what the workers for White Nationalist Motors are experiencing. Years ago I had to work under a machinist who on the first day said “I don’t like your kind”. Being of obvious mixed European / Native Ancestry I trigger racists simply by existing. When I was listing to audio…

Some of the employee stories say it’s new to them, where is anyone saying this is a new problem overall?

Do people really do that anywhere? If so what state?

Pro Tip: To get a whole tankful of premium, when the owner goes in to pay, drive away in their luxury car.

I would 100% go there. The fact that they continue to run and fund this failed program (which has never been shown to be effective) appalls me. The main issue with harder drugs is not introducing people to them, the media does that well enough for most Americans. The main issue is the lies they knowingly tell about…

The military probably paid more than the to a private contractor to scrape the man’s dried blood off the helicopter.

So if I am ever speeding in Irvine, the best way to lose the cops is to drive through a carwash?
