Another reason to get out and vote in November. Yeah, yeah, “both sides are bad”, STFU, we all know only one side would even consider ending this bullshit.

Because they “like their insurance”, in other words, can easily afford it and haven’t been screwed over by it... yet. They don’t give a damn about anyone else’s situation, the same problem we have in this country for just about every issue. 

Canadian here.

The behind the scenes insurance fuckery should be completely invisible to the person needing emergency care at the time they are receiving care.  The system sucks.

Dude lives next to the ocean in FL (Naples). Forecasters have been going on for days about likely catastrophic storm surge from Ian. This seems like something that was completely avoidable with a bit of forethought.

Underrated comment. Take your star dammit.

Greasyspoon diner wait staff across the country are way ahead of you there, with everyone being respectfully and affectionately called “Hon.” If it works for them, maybe we all should go there? Sure would make it hard for people in professional contexts to take themselves too seriously...

I think a tartan kilt would go really well with that color scheme, and give everyone something with a little more range of motion and breathability vs. a pencil skirt. 

why no one with a beard wearing a skirt in that photo ??

Citroen Ami 6.

I wish I knew why the PT Cruiser inspires such hatred. It’s not exactly beautiful, but it was a breath of fresh air and I really struggle to see how anyone could call it the ugliest car ever.

THIS. Shit attracts flies. You don’t want flies, you gotta clean up the shit.

It’s 100% the gathering . It’s a combination of young age, speed, lowered inhibitions, peer pressure, and run-of-the-mill assholery. You have to live it to understand it. I lived in Ocean city, MD until 2020 and have been in the area for over 15 now. It is a shit-show. Street racing, burnouts, drunk 20some year olds,…

When you support these events, you supporting the reckless endangerment of innocent people. You are supporting the reckless nature of these events. You are supporting the notion that illegal street races, taking over city streets, and disrupting the peace are ok.

“Event”

Yeah no. This isn’t a zero sum game, chief. These “events” attract criminal assholes. These people are bad on their own, but the fact of the matter is when you congregate them in one place, for the purpose of dickhead hooning, the likelihood of a problem increases both just on the numbers because you’re congregating…

No, the unsanctioned gathering is absolutely also to blame.  It gives people with problematic driving habits an outlet as well as justification.  

Of course he is responsible for his own behavior, but this event has been a menace to the public for years. The same logic for why Cars & Coffee are getting shut down, seemingly mostly because of the actions of Mustang drivers.

You had the Suzuki Equator, but let’s not forget the other off-brand Japanese truck from that era, the Mitsubishi Raider. It made sense, given how much platform sharing DaimlerChrysler and Mitsubishi continued to do. It was basically a third-generation Dodge Dakota with a nose job, and—like the Dakota—could be had…

I don’t know what it says about me that not only do I remember all of these, I’ll occasionally check for two of them as potential second cars (the Entourage and Routan).
