This is where a Trust comes into play. My mom did a great job by moving her assets into a trust, then creating a pour-over will which just dumped all of her personal assets into the trust upon her death. Although I didn’t have any siblings to fight with, it made it much easier to deal with her property after her

Yeah, that’s mean. There was a story about a guy who did something similar to his ex-girlfriend. He just dumped the car at the airport. Ah, here it is:

The best solution for this guy is a good set of wheel jacks.

Good for them. Being in Louisiana, we have a lot of neighbors with big boats. It’s fairly common to see an apron added to the side of the driveway to provide access and additional parking to the side of the house. A few of our neighbors have large families and end up using the arrangement to provide parking for all

“It’s not bad enough you ruin the world by owning three cars....”

Good solution. If mesquite would grow here, I’d plant a row along the curb. I tried roses in the front bed, but the entire yard slopes down to the curb. With the heavy rains we get here, roses don’t do well. Seattle has a reputation for a lot of rain (37.49" per year), but Baton Rouge gets almost twice as much (62"

The street has plenty of room to allow a fire truck or ambulance through. Like I said, our actions turn it into a single lane. Call the police all you want. There’s nothing illegal about street parking where I live, even if two vehicles are parked across the street from each other.

When my kids were younger, my neighbor and I would park our cars in the same manner any time the kids were playing outside. With both cars parked there, the street was effectively narrowed to a single lane.

I’ve had similar issues over the years, but with our narrow street and mountable curbs, people often park with their right wheels on the grass. I’ve left notes, knocked on neighbors’ doors, and even directly confronted drivers who parked on my lawn.

Or at least drop in another pair of AAs.

This gives me hope for my WRX.

It’s not about the ride height - our Outback has more ground clearance than our Explorer. It’s about the box height. Our Explorer is still four inches taller (not counting roof bars) than our Outback.

Naming is everything. My wife was outraged when I called her Explorer nothing more than a tall wagon. That’s when she said her next car would be a coupe.

My wife was shocked when I pointed out that our Outback has more ground clearance than her Explorer.

I used to like yellow cars. Then I moved to Baton Rouge, the land of purple and “gold” (thanks, L.S.U. knuckleheads). You can’t swing a stick without hitting a yellow car. I swear half of Dodge’s inventory of cars painted Yellow Jacket or Plum Crazy were sold here in Baton Rouge.

There is another way! Don’t start the app until you are several miles from your house. This puts a crimp on recording the full length of your activity, but it sure does make it hard for Strava to know where you live.

Swap “Stadium” in for every instance of “Amazon” and you have a clear argument against every tax-payer built stadium in the U.S.

I thought I was the only kid who did that. Hello, friend!
