I didn’t hear anything specifically insulting her, more just frustration. I think that gets a pass considering she could have easily killed him. If he started yelling things like ‘Mom you’re such an idiot! Why are you so stupid?’ or something along those lines, then I would agree with you.

Well my mom was always drunk, so if she’d lived long enough to see me riding motorcycles she might have run me over and not realized what happened. At least she always drove small cars.

An analogy that works for me is if your car is stolen. If you lock your car in your garage, take the keys to bed with you, and you wake up to find it gone, there’s not much you could have done to prevent it. If you park it in the most crime-ridden area you know of and leave the keys in it, don’t be surprised if it’s…

NG pipeline about 500 yards from my house! And they make a ring around the house I grew up in, roughly 2 miles away all around.

Wow, I remember doing all of these! That’s probably why I haven’t played that game in a long time.

My brother got to drive that car! Ok, that’s all I have to add. Well, and the Lambo he recently bought is the second he’s driven.

The sensor at my wife’s work is also misaligned. There’s about ten feet between the white line and the crosswalk, and the sensor is between them. If you don’t pull past the white line and up to the crosswalk, it doesn’t trip the sensor. And of course you don’t get a green without the sensor being tripped. Drives me…

This is also applicable in California.

The other day I was sitting behind someone who was obviously looking at their phone. I gave them the full two seconds anyway, then lightly tapped the horn. They looked up at the green light, flickered the brake lights, then the brake lights went back on and they looked back at the phone. I gave them another full two…

One time I was driving a friend’s car and we pulled up at a light. We were the second car in line and we were chatting, so I wasn’t paying much attention. After a couple minutes I start thinking that I’m pretty sure that we just sat through a whole light cycle without getting a green. I kept watching and sure enough…

5th Gear: Come on GM, I want to see a Bolt review from my favorite automotive website. I’ll bet it would make a good replacement for my Prius Plug-in.

One of the best car salesman I know doesn’t know jack about cars and drives a moped. He would also have no idea what awd or rwd or fwd mean.

There was a flagger at the turn before waving a yellow flag as well that you can see in the video.

It drives me nuts to see this story trotted out all the time in cases like this. Yeah, you shouldn’t sue because you spilled coffee on yourself. But if the coffee is hot enough to require hospitalization after you spill it on yourself, when the law explicitly states that it’s not allowed to be that hot, then you…

When the coffee is not legally allowed to be at a temperature that causes third degree burns, and you get third degree burns, there’s a case there. And the fact that McDonald’s company policy was to heat coffee to a level that would require hospitalization with possible lifelong injuries if you spilled it on yourself…

This sounds accurate based on my experience with my Prius. I usually have around 2 gallons left when the light comes on, and I average about 54 MPG lately. I’ve seen Priuses run out of gas and require expensive maintenance at the dealer before they would restart, so I don’t want to test that range, but it’s nice to…

That Empire Builder line looks lovely. Makes me want to go for a train ride.

As a counter to all the negative stuff I see being posted, I’ve ridden on Amtrak a ton of times and I’ve never had an issue with timeliness. I’d recommend it, especially the Acela. I’m always between DC and NYC though.

If they have to pay for the cleanup bill, it will sure leave the Mint penniless.
