These bridges are in a line along the Paoli/Thorndale SEPTA line, and there’s several problematic ones in this stretch. This one is less than a mile from where I used to live. At any given time of day between Paoli and Ardmore there are moving vans, car carriers, even military trucks stopping, assessing, and creeping…

A low ass bridge without a dedicated website full of videos is a tragically wasted opportunity.

My thoughts exactly. With 43 incidents in 9 years we missed quite a few laughs.

These bridges are all over the place here (I live in the area and quite familiar). When I was in college, in the area, with these bridges...there was a bridge that was hit at least once or twice a year by trucks, opening them up like tin cans. A lot of times it was rich kids moms who rented a uhaul to move their kid…

Lower the road underneath, make sure you have good drainage though

The question is, why isn’t this bridge under constant 24-hour-a-day, 7-days-a-week video surveillance? I would love to be enjoying watching those new cars get smashed up in a decent video right now.

Maps and GPS apps really need to have some sort of feature included in them that you can add the height of your vehicle and have a database of bridge heights to check the height of the vehicle against. Not that the majority of militantly ignorant people would use it, but it would at least be a step in the right…

I’ve been under that bridge several times and it amazes me that people can’t seem to figure it out. Even if the signs weren’t there... how do you not see that and not have second thoughts about driving huge box trucks and car haulers through there? I mean... I just don’t get it. 

Some companies have the license plate number in the printed up paperwork they give you with the keys.  Budget and Hertz does that.  It's one of the things you should check when doing the initial inspection of the rental.

Feels weird to me that NC won’t allow an out-of-state plate, but the patchwork way car licensing is done in this country is awful. I bought my car from Carvana, had a temporary (paper) Georgia plate while they submitted everything to the NYS DMV, and I got everything I needed within the 45 day window. (For comparison,…

Because they are cheap of course. And Mitsubishi will finance anyone with a pulse. Most Americans buy cars by the pound, and really don’t give two shits about what they look like or how they drive.

You’ve obviously never purchased a vehicle from Carmax. There is no head of finance nor anyone trying to convince you to buy a warranty. The Sales Associate will tell you about the MaxCare options and show you some accessories that are available for installation (cheap stereos, etc.), but there’s no pressure to buy…

From experience with people and two states with inspections - state inspections work.

I’m surprised at the love for Pennsylvania - I’m from there and lived there for the first 28 years of my life (I’m 35 now), and drove some old and none-to-perfect cars in my day, and never had any trouble whatsoever getting them through inspection without replacing ordinary wear items like brake pads and the like.…

The best solution to this is to not answer any phone numbers you don’t know. 

My local Mitsu dealer is advertising cars on their website with Weekly Payments. This is hack corner lot stuff.

What’s funny to me is that most Mitsu dealers are nestled in with the buy-here-pay-here lots.

People with a 500 credit score, 2 foreclosures, multiple bankruptcies, furniture from Rent-a-Center, maxed-out credit (secured) credit cards and kitted out in knock-off luxury-brands. But they still want a new car.

People who can’t afford the 40k suvs offered by the other car makers.

Now that the Journey is being discontinued, somebody needs to be there for people with no money or credit.
