I’ve had good luck with cheapo parts too. I had no name rotors on my Miata and they were totally fine. Another time I got some cheapo ‘West Lake’ tires on my van, and they were totally fine- I could find no fault with them.

Nope. Never again for me. I bought a set of control arms for my wifes minivan off of Amazon. They were built incorrectly and damaged the spindles within a few months. Got to do that job all over again.  

Ursula K. Le Guin came up with the term back in the 60s.

The absolute snarkiest line in the original article:

You said the crash occurred only because police got involved. Which implies the driver’s well-documented reckless speeding would not cause a crash by itself and is perfectly safe.

1. If you’re doing 90 in 30mph zone at 3am, you’re still an asshole and deserve a ticket. Drive like a maniac on a track. It shouldn’t matter if it’s a deserted road or not. In fact, most cameras in my area are calibrated to go off only if the speed limit is exceeded by 12mph. Which is more than enough in what is…

Are you for real? This crash was inevitable, you don’t get 43 speed cam tickets in 10 months by driving safely. The fact that they didn’t pay any of them shows that they didn’t care.

The absence of crashes does not indicate the presence of safe driving.

I was on 495 Friday mid-afternoon, which is thankfully rare, and was drama free, until a driver came up fast on my rear, passed me in the right merge lane from an exit ramp, then immediately shot across 3 or 4 lanes to get to the left lane. They had decal letters at the top of the windshield, in reverse so it shows up…

These people somehow are able to invent lanes.  

If you drive during rush hour in the DC area on a regular basis, unfortunately these rampaging drivers are very common. Inside the city it is not so bad, but on 295, 395, and most of the areas east of the city it is downright frightening how many people I see in bumper-to-bumper traffic driving recklessly, tailgating…

CHAT GPT created this salty speech:

Or a career with the police for much longer.

Kudos to that cop who followed procedure and basically busted his boss. I’m sure he’ll get skewered by other, shittier cops for it.

“I cannot sir. I know you’re aware of our body camera policy. You know I cannot turn off this body camera,” the officer says. “I have taken an oath to uphold the law.”

He would have gotten 20-to-life if he threw books about slavery at the other guy.

It’s insane that this is considered stand your ground. 

Fucking baby-dick Americans and their love of guns.
