I honestly can’t think of a time I felt worse about myself than when I did that, so I’d have to imagine the parent here feels that times a million. My son’s seat is installed in my truck like it’s welded in there, so if something happened the error would have been all mine. Long story short, I’m really glad that kid…

That’s a good rule. I think my wife may have handed me a diaper bag or something while I was in the middle of buckling him in, because I did the chest buckle and snugged it down, but didn’t clip the crotch belt. I’m going to have to make sure to start double and triple checking...I got away with it once, I’m not…

Since the trucker was given a citation, I’d imagine insurance will pay for the car and the seat. You’re right though, a ticket wouldn’t have added anything.

Oh totally, I guess it’s just like if you’re ever going to ticket somebody for it, that would be the time. But you’re right, the ticket wouldn’t mean much.

I mean I’d hope that the end result scared them straight if they were slacking off with strapping the kid in. I hate basing penalties on the outcome rather than what happened, but the $300 fine probably wouldn’t accomplish what literally having your kid ejected from the car did.

The other day I accidentally forgot to buckle part of my son’s harness in his car seat before driving half a mile to his grandmother’s house, and when I discovered what I had done I wanted to kill myself. A lack of a citation to the parent/guardian here bothers me, though I guess it’s an ‘everybody gets one’…

9.4 seconds to 60, look at the speed demon! For real, my Land Cruiser takes 12 seconds to do the same.

Eh, I’ve driven them, they’re not nearly that slow. I mean I had a ‘69 Corvair with a tired 102 that had no trouble getting itself up to a double nickel, and it weighed more and had less power and less gears than a Mazda 2.

I don’t think we use non-gender specific insults enough for women. Like I always see them called a bitch or a cunt, when asshole or jagoff would probably work just as well if not better. Insult equality is what I’m looking for. Good work, Hamilton.

Since it’s birth in 1979, the Fox platform Mustang has been subject to some fairly cruel treatment. They’ve been beaten on, they’ve been canibalized for kit cars, they’ve been stored behind people’s houses until they simply gave up and sank into the ground. Fox platform Mustangs, with their low prices and decent…

“Oy, that was a right bloody cracker weren’t it Chester?” is the British translation.

That is a truly loathesome cover of Message in a Bottle. What’s with people and covering up cool videos with awful music?

Ted Johnson should be at the rookie symposium every year, available for anybody who wants to talk to him about what could happen.

It should be a law that all major races are required to have a “Stock VW Beetle” class.

I’m not a Subaru guy, but that’s great looking. What’s with the blue over the fender flares? Honestly I don’t even care what’s with it, I dig it.

This is a true fact.

...4pm for you guys happens at the same time 7pm happens for us. That said, the east coast is terrible and we really probably should suck it.

I feel compelled to say ‘shut up, Jerry’, but that’s a solid point.
