That’s if you can fix it. A friend’s mom had this generation of XJ. The windshield wipers stopped working. Oh, must be an electric motor, right?

My guess is this has zero to do with policy, and the tariffs are unlikely to be imposed. Its just manipulating the markets - short a few stocks, have the Fanta Menace make this pronouncement, turn a quick profit.

A very tiny percentage of gun owners commit homicides, so stats on overall gun ownership are not indicative of gun use by killers. The killers are statistically atypical.

How can you reach this conclusion when there are gun homicides with the type of gun not reported, and homicides with the type of weapon not reported?
In fairness, I do think that is a reasonable estimate. Rifles are generally the go-to for mass murders, which are a small percentage of overall murders. But also quite…

I try to not snack, just meals. Mostly turkey or chicken with spinach wraps. I’ll pick up a couple at Publix along with some unsweet tea and a back of ice for the cooler. For me avoiding sugar on long drives (or anything that requires long periods of concentration) is a good idea, avoid the sugar crash.

Maybe in a socialist country, you’d be forced to take what the state offers, but here

It could be argued that going to four small stores is a ginormous carbon footprint for a trivial amount of goods. And that propping up inefficient business models merely prolongs the pain.

Capitalism, that’s how it works. Technology brings along new efficiencies, and it kills less efficient business models. Henry Ford put a lot of companies that hand-built cars out of work. You can use government to stop it, but you end up with an economy that doesn’t move up the value chain of competition.

So, you’re selling something, getting the price you want, and you’re upset because someone else is making a profit too.
Hint: their business is none of your business.

Is there a cost difference in the insurance?

The horsepower is nice to have when you’re passing at freeway speeds, which in my area is typically 80-90 mph. My car has 380 hp and weighs 3850 lbs, and I feel like the power is adequate but not excessive.

Having owned a first gen SLK, I doubt it gets driven much because the damn things won’t run for 20 minutes without breaking down. And I bought mine new.

They removed the stock exhaust. CP

The kind that wants the flavor of scotch on the rocks without watering it down. There are some “stone” thingys you use for this, leave them in the freezer, drop them in your glass.

Sigh. There are two words. Profile. And Stop.

If the rental companies are reporting cars stolen when they’re not stolen, aren’t they guilty of filing false police reports?

Wouldn’t you think this would be cleared up pretty quickly after producing the valid rental agreement? Like within 10 minutes or so?

Let’s talk about why guns were drawn on someone who allegedly stole a rental car. Not that she had stolen it in the first place, but unless there had been a report of her committing violence in procuring it...she shouldn’t have been greeted with guns.

Not true. Went to a wedding in Ensenada, most of the guests flew in to San Diego and rented  a car. You have to get separate insurance that covers you in Mexico. Since I lived in San Francisco, I just rode my motorcycle down and had fun blasting down the very nice toll roads.
