But if said piece of glass is equipped with a wiper, should this awkwardly be referred to as the “window wiper” or “rear window wiper”?

We got the same treatment here in the U.S. with the E36/7 M Roadster/Coupe, but BMW miraculously came to their senses and gave us an S54B32 with 315 hp in 2001 and 2002, although in fairly limited numbers.

Anywhere between D.C. and Boston (and Harrisburg, to a lesser extent) it’s the preferred mode of intercity transportation. Anywhere else and...yeah, probably want to forget it anywhere else, unless you’re not on any sort of schedule.

Not legal on federal waters, but enforcement is more difficult, since this does not include things like lakes and anything but the largest rivers.

You’re missing the point here: accidents from distracted driving result in death and injury to many people besides the people at fault (passengers, other road users, bystanders), so it is hardly “100% about saving people from themselves,” although autonomy would accomplish this as well.

I believe you’re referring to the 20th century, yet all the stupid people are still here. The smartphone is here to stay, and people will be distracted by it anywhere and everywhere, forever. Distracted driving was rampant even before people were screwing around with their phones: people were putting on makeup,

It bothers the hell out of me when people ask the “why are you not hiring that out” question for something that is a relatively cheap, easy, and quick DIY project or repair, when the alternative is to wait around for half a day for a repairman to show up and fix it for many times the price of a DIY job. Waste of time

She would spin this into some nonsense like “everyone should ride the shitty slow bus” or “everyone should ride bicycles whether you live in the snow belt or if your commute is fifty miles each way or if you have no hands or feet.” And I’m a public transportation advocate.

Said dining establishments don’t count if they’re in a strip mall...

I hate to say it, having given momentum to the whole “cute ‘ute” thing, but first or second generation Honda CRV (1995-2001, 2001-2006, third gen went full soccer mom). Small footprint, but lots of useful space, very reliable (there’s a reason you still see so many of the first gens around), AWD, efficient, cheap to

I’d bet that the department isn’t actually liable for this, as it’s reasonable to bust out a window to “rescue” such a lifelike doll. Also, law enforcement is held to a different standard of liability considering the high-pressure decision-making they are confronted with. However, the department will probably just cut

DC and its surroundings: nowhere else are drivers so slow, yet so reckless.

It is true that “underpaid” people, even volunteers, such as firefighters, police, paramedics, etc., (i.e. first responders) deal with crazy, life threatening situations “every single week,” and often don’t get enough credit for it. But there’s a fundamental difference between first responders and airport security:

What Otto is trying to say here is that when the shit hits the fan at the airport, don’t expect the pissed-off, $15/hr. TSA employee who stares at an x-ray screen for a living to go all Rambo for you. They’re not a Marine, they’re not a cop, and they were never asked to be; this is just a boring, thankless job, and

I agree to the extent that there are a lot of people who do not understand autopilot and rely on it far too much, but when will it be ready for showtime?

“Capitalist” is not synonymous with “rich people.” Otherwise, I’d be wondering when my P1 was going to be delivered.

It wouldn’t be too difficult for a company to make a “drop in” hot tub bed liner, would it? You could include the filling/emptying valves and other associated hardware within the liner itself, then take it out when the white trash fun is over so you can use the bed without damaging any hot tub parts.

Back in the depths of the recession, I worked at a beer distributor that was behind a Starbucks and shared a parking lot with it. The way people drove in that parking lot was worthy of a sociological or psychological study. I’ve never seen cars driven so slowly but so recklessly at the same time. It was as if

It’s a matter of perception: Chevy doesn’t get praise for building the enviro-weenie electric car that, in the past, everyone assumed electric cars would be (see also Nissan LEAF). Tesla gets praise for building electric cars that have singlehandedly destroyed this stereotype. If you’re going to call one “beige,” it

Not enough rear overhang, off by several feet.
