That sells for more than half the vehicles in David’s fleet.

I have a American made Wilton vise and a Pipe wrench. A bit to far to be of help though. Be careful you can apply enough torque to twist the frame on your bike. Don’t clamp the tube directly you can collapse it. A touch of heat with a MAPP torch will help.

Shouldn’t be difficult, Raph, you do live in New York City.

I’m looking for someone I know who has a vice.

I also flew to Munich and back, then had to wait for the car to come by boat last time I bought a car, so what do I know?

Someone looking at payments only.

Lack of Safety Inspections.

While civil asset forfeiture isn’t specifically automotive, it so often involves cars I think it should count here.

The worst one is the probably the patchwork legislation between states but I’d put the second at civil asset forfeiture from normal traffic stops. The fact that you could be pulled over by an officer without cause, and have them take your money or even your car because “It may have been involved with illegal activity”…

Before you demand someone do better, learn what a direct quote is.

Abuse is virtually guaranteed. That’s the problem here.

His day job might be a forklift operator.

Except they don’t pay for themselves. You’re still paying to put tires on your vehicle, it’s not putting money into your pocket. All they’re doing is distributing which tires you’re spending money on. The only thing they save money on is possible tow trucks and collision repairs.

I dunno, the “leaving some space between traffic” on the 405 doesn’t seem that egregious; it’s far better than the folks who will floor it at the first sign of a space and then slam on the brakes when the inevitable stop comes. In fact, I generally try to drive with some “buffer” in stop and go, leaving a bit of space…

I can see the appeal of these.  I mean, I’ve always wanted to drive a locomotive engine.

Fast & Curious...

The stupid black line at the back of every crossover (c-d pillar) that makes for a “floating roof” look:

Tbf the screens that are recessed deep into the dashboard suck even more to use.

The lane assist automatic activation on start. Those thing do not work well, and are annoying as hell. And usually you can’t cut it off once and for all. You have to do it every time. 

Rolling coal. Bonus points for big rims with low profile tires on a lifted pickup, virtually rendering it useless.
