“Suspect was last seen actively shooting strings of a web-like substance from some kind of alien weapon.”

I bit the hard metal dash of my dad’s 1973 Monte Carlo when I was 3. I didn’t want to bite it, but a hard stop from 60mph caused my unbelted body to fly into it.

Awww, c’mon, who doesn’t want Camry Solara tail lights on their pickup?

I bet all those people he was passing on the double yellow slowly motored past his catastrophe, grinning and giving him the finger.

Smart is a tiny shitty vehicle that doesn’t actually get very good mpg. Better off with a Civic.

I went for a month with my mirrors adjusted like this. I found that having mirrors set to a very wide angle was very distracting as objects near the far edge of the mirror were rushing past sideways instead of slowly entering my field of view. This was made worse in city night driving.

Meanwhile, in Livonia, MI, a distracted bus driver plowed into the back of my wife’s stopped car at 45-50mph totaling her car as well as the one in front of her. The bumper of the bus overtopped our car’s bumper and stopped less than 12" from the back of my 2-year old’s head. We never got any answers as to why this

My elementary school bus driver went bombing through the middle of a 200 acre apple orchard once to get around a rural county road closure. It was muddy and she was rowing the late 1970's International through the gears at full throttle. I was in the back seat and gleefully watched the mud spraying out the back.

That truck driver is fuckin’ frosty!

I see more of Admiral Ackbar:

Here are a few minor items on their marked-off checklist that clearly hadn’t been checked and are easily serviced: battery terminals severely corroded, cabin air filter appeared to have never been changed, PCV hose was disconnected and blowing oil all over the topside of the engine.

I have purchased several CPO cars. The CPO Hondas that I bought were in tip-top shape with all checklist issues addressed prior to me buying them. The Chevrolet Equinox and Toyota Matrix I bought came with a marked off checklist, but a number of issues that were claimed to be inspected and rectified were not. I

Won’t raising the speed limits result in most people simply raising their max speed to 5-10mph over the new posted limit? Or will they be more strictly enforcing the new, higher limits?

Oh, the problems of affluent white people.... soooo terrible.

Have you ever installed a child seat? The lower anchors are easy enough to release and reattach. The upper tether anchor is a PITA when you don’t have access to the back side of the seat you’re attaching to. Plus having to do this every time you go somewhere is even more of a PITA.

Or better yet, the 3rd row lacks the proper anchors to mount your kid seats, so you have to put them in the 2nd row. This means you can’t fold the 2nd row to allow adults or bigger kids to get to the 3rd row. So they end up climbing through the hatch and over the back of the 3rd row, just like 1983 all over again.

“the third row is basically useless for anything but a short jog to the ice cream shop with the grandkids.” - as long as those grandkids aren’t in 3-point child seats, then good fucking luck getting back there to strap them in.
