As with the Boston bombing (not that act and its intent necessarily but the flow and quality of information), everything I’ve read up to now has been changed. The name of the suspect, how many suspects there were, the precipitating events, the proposed intent behind the incident, everything.

I generally agree. As much as I hate to say it, ICE’s need to come off the roads *stat*. And why auto-start/stop hasn’t been mandated is baffling to me. If all new cars had it that would save untold amounts of burned fuel. I own a diesel 1-ton truck for towing purposes and every time I get in it I wish I had…

I have no details about what work you do and what products/services your union works on, but I would suggest that you try changing your union from the inside or seeking help from another union nearby. How long has your union been operating? Most times I hear about union corruption it’s a union that has been entrenched…

Damn. I always forget how honest-to-goodness good-looking that first 300ZX is. That’s some peak 80s and a timeless riff on the C4 Vette.

Pinal County.

Or tow companies. I’ve had my vehicle towed before. Those guys didn’t give a shit about peoples’ cars.

Ah, forgot about those. Ya many 80s GM cars had spares mounted there. If I recall correctly they had a huge wingnut to make it somewhat easier to unmount it from that panel.

The law must be different out in the hinterlands because, I imagine, if I did this in the core of a big city I would not be allowed to just saunter on home after the inconvenience of being stopped because I ran over 3 people, one of them fatally. Are these two incidents an example of big city law vs. ol’ country law…

I was taking my kids to an area of the coastline in the Corpus Christi area last year on the north side of the ferry. The area was right off the 2-lane highway and there was enough traffic in the area that it wouldn’t be a huge deal if I got stuck. But anyhow, to get to the area of interest I had to figure out which…

The homes may cost $700k but that’s like blaming someone with a regular everyday job living in a family-inherited home in Cali worth $1m. That’s the cost of housing. It’s entirely another thing if the elected official in question has direct business conflicts of interest while driving cars his constituents couldn’t…

Except that didn’t happen. In fact many of the cases where it did were instigated by outsiders not tied to the protests themselves. Portland is one example.

No. He’s being shamed for being a massive corporatist senator holding the passing of federal policy initiatives meant to help people, start resolving AGW, and create jobs hostage because, well, he’s a greedy corporatist driving an expensive car while taking a taxpayer salary and having blatant business conflicts of…

Except it’s not unlawful imprisonment, at least in part because they were clearly not blocking all 4 sides of the vehicle, but also because a few minutes later he is clearly walking to wherever he was going while not being assaulted physically, completely surrounded, threatened with a firearm or other weapon, or…

Perhaps you should before chiding someone else to look up a specific crime. Entrapment is the act of a government policing organization concocting a criminal scenario, coaxing a target individual or individuals to commit the crime, and then charging and prosecuting them for doing so.

If anything these activists have done a GREAT job getting on camera the fact that Joe fucking Manchin is not only a greedy business person holding federal policy hostage while people starve, infrastructure collapses, etc., but is driving a Maserati Levante while actively being a goddamn US Senator. Maybe this will…

Oh you’ve “looked into” some of them? OK, what are their names? What orgs are they with? Also, expecting environmentalists to live 1m% to their values is stupid tough-guy talk since they exist in a system where they HAVE to adopt/use things they otherwise would deplore, just to get shit done. That’s not some awesome…

I wanted one of these so bad in the 90s and I still do. I LOVED the look of that GP with the cladding and the pillbox headlights (or these, too) on those gold wheels, which are my absolute all-time favorite from the 90s. I could never get enough of Pontiac’s whiz-bang dashboards and tech from circa 1988 to 1996. I…

Damn, just from the couple glimpses of it, that looks like the sweetest Alfa Romeo Spider EVER. How did you decide against getting a full-frame pic of that one?

This is the kind of thing that former military will tell you about other soldiers doing and/or participating in, the abuse of the locals in non-white countries we occupy. Reporting and doing the right thing is punished nearly all the time, and the least amount of blowback that someone doing so can expect is for their…

Just as others have said, I cannot believe they took what appears to be a press photo with that hookup. That’s absurd; nobody should ever be towing like that. In fact with it sitting that way it’s likely putting more than the 600-or-so lbs of tongue weight listed in the brochure, onto the 4Runner. But I see other…
