If you have it cornered, it wouldn’t be that hard to hit. And since you’re shooting downward, the risk to others is reduced. The way that guy pulled the gun, it looks like he knows what he’s doing.

It was an aggressive and likely rabid bobcat, you do whatever you can. If you want to hammer throw that thing, go for it. 

They did a really good job styling the Saturn Sky. It’s difficult to make a good looking car on a car with a short wheel base.

Just going to say it:

People in Bolivia may disagree with this “saving the world” thing 

Saw thread, came for this, was not disappointed.

It looks scrubbed.

My ex had her car get all noisy and the steering got strange, so she turned up the radio. It was a flat front tire.

Our high school had a head of the natural science department who didn’t know that her Camry needed to get an oil change every now and then.

“I can’t use gasoline in my diesel?”

He buys it because it’s still more reliable than the rest of his ‘fleet’

The good news is you won’t endure the agony of burning to death, because that Buick 3800 will crush your skull from behind after those welds fail.

So...the top covers the engine bay in the back. The driver passes out from the exhaust leak (you know it does), and runs into something solid. The fuel tank in front ruptures. A big fireball follows. It sits in a salvage yard as a testament to bad choices. Two years later, sufficiently covered in rust, David Tracy…

Those seats don’t fit people that tall very well.
