We had an au pair from Brazil who tried to do this the first time I had her drive on the local interstate (she had a driving license but was only used to driving in town, so this was sort of like a driving lesson). I quickly explained that was the absolute wrong thing to do and if it ever happened when my children…

A driver who always has their brake lights on, presumably from resting a foot on the brake pedal.

It would be somewhat interesting to have something akin to a jury pool for everyone that is pro death penalty. Make everyone who is for the death penalty register in a random lottery. Then for each execution, a name is selected at random. Failure to show up and perform is treated as contempt of court and carries an…

The fucked up corollary is these same people foaming with bloodlust for Capital Punishment are all “preserve life at all costs” and forced-birth zealots. Sick with incurable and inoperable cancer? Go to hospice and suffer until the bitter end*. Fetus has catastrophic birth defects? Too fucking bad — that’s the will of…

Is a squirrel more or less believable than 1.5 psi or a “pelican”?

Seconded!

(My apologies to anyone who is offended)

The front bumper on that Countach is an abomination.

For quite a few years, I’ve heard DE chairpersons offer various opinions that run the entire spectrum on whether or not to instruct students about disabling safety features. Some of my fellow instructors refuse to ride with students who choose to disable the nannies. Some say that they can’t teach more advanced…

You never know if the car(s) behind you see the red flag. Plus, they parked on the outside of the exit of the turn, so if there had been fluid/debris in the braking zone that sent the car into the kitty litter, they’ve parked in a very high risk zone. Getting out is the wrong choice, unless your car is currently on…

In Carl’s defense, Shake isn’t very nice to him. Always messing up that pool and whatnot.

This misses the real crux for all of the fucked up shit happening in D.C. In Trumpland, he is perfectly within his powers to order air strikes (or any other military action) because he is a White man. It was not OK for Pres. Obama because he was not a White man. If we had a new Pres. Clinton, since she is not a White…

I live in the same area and see similar daily. So, no, it really isn’t a requirement. Given the state’s politics, I’m sure many folks would argue that licensing drivers is just more “big gubmint intrusion pushed on us by Obummer tryin’ to kill jobs”. SMDH.

The parking structure where I work is laid out with these narrow spots. Being where we are, pick up trucks are very common and the current generation F150s and GM equals are so big that you cannot park next to one and still hope to open your doors. About a year ago, I saw an SVT Lightning sitting next to a new(er)…

So you’ve driven one of these? ;-)

Maybe I’m just old, but the whole “brand” of Monster just repulses me. I enjoy winter sports but can’t stand to watch anymore because of all the Monster crap. I think the product tastes revolting. I didn’t like how it made me feel. I have no illusions that by drinking that swill and getting covered in tattoos will…

Wow, that is a really rockin’ tune. /s

Seconded. Remember how he barely dodged a bullet when he was involved with the Keating Five.

YMMV. However, I bought my E92 335i through BMW CPO. An ‘07 that I acquired in ‘10. It was loaded with all the options I wanted, had 25k miles, and I was out the door for less than half of the original sticker. It is my DD and track car. I did have the HPFP replaced once under the warranty. Also had the VANOS solenoid…

Some people will only “Buy ‘Murican!!” no matter how bad of a choice it is...
