I got helicopter insurance after someone I know had to cough up $10K for a fifteen minute ride. 

A rare just skip the read and go directly to the ND button based on brand, miles, year and price all in the header. 

My neighbor had a Cayman. Then went green and got a BMW i- something with tires barely wider than my motorcycle’s tires. That lasted about a year. Then it was a Grand Cherokee to tow her Airstream. Then those disappeared and were replaced with a RV and a VW i-something. The VW didn’t last six months and now she’s…

18 USC 371 would make the insurrection an ongoing conspiracy because every time that fat ass repeats the big lie it is another overt act that just extends the statute of limitations. So yes, in progress.

A couple of states have started cancelling RHD vehicle registrations. Maine for one. I could see this trend increasing. I am spotting more and more JDM vehicles, a surprising number of Delicas, but mostly tuner cars. At some point there’s too many to stop the trend, but I could see the state bricking these RHDs.…

Nothing will change because DOJ has disavowed the Responsible Corporate Officer Doctrine (United States v. Dotterweich,  320 US 277 (1943). 

The result is the one intended. Rich white folks owning the end result. I have personally engaged in that process in over 100 jury selection processes. I can assure you that was the result intended. 

Seems like a ND, but this CL ad convinced me otherwise. A 1972 in need of significant restoration for $5500. So in comparison NP.

Step one of David Tracy’s 12-step program should be move into a condo. I just missed out on a wonderful 10 car garage with a 2000 sq. foot attached house in Western WA with 5 acres for even more outdoor hoarding. The garage had a full bath and a lift and heat. I knew the negotiation would be difficult because I was…

Lots of heater complaints on the Patriot forums turns out. The one in AK is a 2016 with nothing. Manual everything including windows. One of the last ones made, so maybe they fixed something late in the production run.

Odd. One of my offspring lives in Anchorage, Alaska and drives a Patriot. No heater problem at all, doesn’t even have to plug-in unless it goes into the -15 range which it rarely does anymore.  Jeep (non-Patriot) heaters in my experience have always been great (32 years worth- 3 different Jeeps half that time in…

And it doesn’t help that the defense gets to strike 24 jurors and the prosecution gets 12. 

Having owned a 1990* Range Rover GDE I had an easy time NPing this at that price. The alternator alone is worth $800. Those Buick engines will go 200K, it’s the other things you worry about. The gas gauge issue is irrelevant because you have to stop at every gas station you pass and fill it with premium anyway.…

The Alaska stats would be more interesting if we knew where the majority of the EVs are actually registered. In all of Southeast Alaska there is basically nowhere to go. Juneau has the most roads, but even there it’s like 30 miles in one direction. Ketchikan, Sitka (12 miles in one direction), Wrangell, all of those…

Lacking political will on homelessness is going to be put to the test in Seattle real quick like. The mayoral election Tuesday (and City attorney to a lesser extent) was a referendum on what to do about the homeless situation and Bruce Harrell convinced an overwhelming majority of Seattle residents that it’s worth…

Jeep Patriot, preferably with a manual. They are abundant and cheap. The 2.4L engine will go the distance if my casual perusal of CL daily is any indication. And because fuck Subaru. Why this brand has such loyalty baffles me. What happened in 2006 that makes them special? My Subaru mechanic says never buy one except…

I think the phrase you’re looking for is “chomoney chaser.” 

The last one. Yes.

Well damn. I was hoping it would all come crashing down and they’d be handing out Miatas like candy to trick o’ treaters. 

I get it that we can’t sleep on the ground in a tent anymore. I don’t know who decreed this, but it’s obviously the law at this point. Why doesn’t someone make a mini slide-in poptop camper that would fit short bed Rangers and Tacos.
