Pointing the gun escalated the situation? You mean, it made the driver more likely he’d ram them with his car?

Pointing a gun at the driver is a pretty good way to get a car to stop.

So fights in hockey can result in CTE, but the fights that break out between drivers at this track can’t? Seems like hockey has fighting, and Bowman-Gray has cars being rammed plus fighting, and somehow you think the latter is less dangerous?

Okay, let’s draw a parallel to another sport. Imagine if a hockey player was injured, and medical personnel were trying to determine how bad it was or get him on a stretcher.
Then another player comes up and starts beating on him with his hockey stick.
Yeah, I’d want that guy arrested.
And if you had to pull a weapon…

And yet, I’ve been pulled over for it four times in two states, and never been arrested. 3 times resulted in a ticket - two of which were beaten in court (that’s what good lawyers are for), and the fourth, no ticket because they had no way to establish my speed.

Remember the two-parter “Gambit”? Pirate ship with Riker and Picard undercover.
That was a pretty interesting concept, could make for a good show.

Nah. That steeply raked C-pillar will already give you a gigantic blind spot. You really don’t want to make it that much worse.

I get the “no questions” thing. These cars attract nutty fanbois. Selling a GTI of the same year I got a ton of idiot questions. “How do I know the service records aren’t faked?” Well go to the shop they’re from? “You have to give me a 90 day warranty if I buy the car” Questions that were in the ad. A 45 minute test…

Oh, turns out I’m wrong, it is available in the US. Thanks!

In the early 80s I was a broke college student. After my roommate managed to lose my moped (yes, really) I bought a little 100cc Kawai enduro. 60 mph top speed, that thing was a fantastic little bike. Rode it for two years without ever doing any maintenance and traded it for an old Opel. It was really perfect for a…

If you’re trying to show you’re not racist, “I thought the bitch was white!” is not a good argument.

EXACTLY! Philando Castile all over again.

Marissa Alexander is an unfortunate case, but the fact is: guns aren’t to be used to “warn”. So many tragedies happen because somebody decided waving a gun around was a good idea. It needs to be drilled in and emphasized: do not pull out a gun unless you intend to use it to kill someone, and of course be damn sure you…

It is a victim’s responsibility to request enforcement. If she gets a protective order, then ignores it and allows the person to be around her, the order is obviously void.
Yes, there are more complex issues at play and yes it can be hard for someone to get out of an abusive relationship, especially if they have…

You are aware that the non-preferred stock the government took as equity rose in value so that by the time it was sold the federal government actually made a profit on the GM bailout.

“Gift”? I do not think that word means what you think it means.

the profit margins are tiny in car manufacturing

If you don’t need a touchscreen, go refurbished. Walmart has Dells and HPs that were $2K top of the line 3 years ago for $500. I got an i5, 17 inch screen, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD for that price.

Torch is annoying with his not taking this seriously. And that Wrangler is going to be incredibly annoying to drive after an M3 - its like maximum NVH was a design goal.
