I follow your point if you roll your own - but that doesn’t help in a dry spell with dead grass.

I tend to agree. There is clearly a disparity between population and deaths - 14% of the population and 26% of deaths is a disparity that is probably statistically real. So why did it sie? I’d suggest not because people don’t care, but because, in the end, people got distracted and tired of the negative press. How…

Absolute insanity I know. Soon they’ll be justifying it on the basis of ‘benefits to the economy’ and ‘ the inconvenience is worth it’. Or was that the superbowl?

I think what you’ll find is that a NATIONALIZED CARRIER WILL OPERATE UNPROFITABLE FLIGHTS. The inventive to limit supply requires a profit motive. Jesus this knee jerk daddy told me shit is irritating. If you’d said a socialized solution is more expensuve, I’d have agreed - see the reference to unprofitable flights.

Not in Texas - the home of the Suburban. My neighbours are in their late 50s/early 60s. Husband drives an F150 (admittedly, they own a farm too - because Texas) while his wife drives a fully optioned Suburban.

Proof that you don’t need to be a redneck to enjoy this stuff.

Aussie taxes... about AUD1700 in import duties and 10% for sales taxes. Anything sold in Australia must be priced inclusive of sales tax - so add your whatever percent on top to get your ‘actual’ US price.

HOW DARE YOU REPORT NEWS THAT RUINS MY DAY!?

War is ugly, but this is on par with what the winners in war have commonly prosecuted people for doing. I’ll put money on most (all?) of these individuals not in any way being charged with any crimes.

Some modern cars can’t easily be locked that way. My aunt has a car that unlocks all doors when you open the driver door. and when you push the lock down, all try to lock - and automatically unlock again if the driver door is open.

Like that old thing of Ford only using a limited number of key combinations for a period of time - you had something like a 1/1000 chance of your car starting another ford.

What this man said. the best security? owning an undesirable vehicle. NOONE is going to steal my Outlander, despite the 3 super awesome kid seats in the middle row.

An opinion, not necessarily a fact. I financed over 60 months. 48 was too much cash flow stress given expected expenditures for the following 24 months with a new child while paying down debt.

You, sir, are just as irritating as any SJW. If you refuse to accept tongue-in-cheek humour, jalopnik isn’t for you - go back to complaining on jezebel and the other gawker sites that circle jerk about social issues. Maybe come back when Andrew writes an article writing about how upset he was on behalf of David Tracy…

I would suggest you do some research on what life without a police force looks like before you start spouting anarchist bullshit. Where are we as society if thieves are left to do their thing and the strongest gets to keep your shit? it’s been tried before and you typically  end up with a crueller set of robber barons…

Ahh, the classical technically illegal but socially acceptable. Never seen the difference between it and alcohol. hope it didn’t cause you too many problems.

Was it for attempted bribery of an official?

Wouldn’t go that far. Most police officers I’ve met are fat and lazy (aren’t we all if we have the chance?) but not bullies - people doing a job and enforcing rules that people don’t want enforced on them specifically, but generally* approve of the existence of.

Per the DoL, in 2014 the highest death rate belonged to agricultural occupations.

Proportionally, law enforcement (taken as a subset of Protective Services) are:
1) Killed at about 1.9 times the general population of workers
2) 4x less likely to die than agricultural workers
3) 2x less likely to die than construction…

If it was a jeep, the scenario would have been different - all of the Jeep guys would have rescued it after hearing it weeping in the night  (according to jalopnik folklore at least).
