How long have we been at war with Mexico?

Whatever you do, don’t google “Gulf of Mexico” then use the three dots next to the search results to report them as inaccurate.

Now playing

Can we get that Air Force One rush job out the door as well, please?

If it’s The Onion and this administration, you know it’s just a matter of time before it’s true.

1st gear: This problem has already been taken care of.

there was a study that I read (probably on this site, many many years back) that showed new drivers were statistically the most likely to crash, not just young drivers

If we’re going to make “perfect world” arguments, might as well posit that people should just stop running red lights. If the people that run the cameras can theoretically be 100% honest and altruistic, then so can drivers.

This probably won’t be a popular opinion on this particular site, but NY should start following the lead of larger cities in Europe and move to more single lane, one-way streets and public transportation or close some streets to vehicle traffic altogether, especially the most densely populated ones where off-street

If you’ve been on the internet long enough, you’d expect Guiness bar towels or a hot cocoa sampler box.

the US should have European-style emissions and car maintenance standards at the federal level. Probably most things like registration, licensing, and insurance should be handled nationally. No more states infighting about things like California emissions standards or out-of-state plates/registrations. 

“Can’t park it, fit it on the streets, charge it, get it worked on, or get the software to work, had to give it baby bumpers, and people are constantly pointing and laughing at me.

Still love the truck.”

I almost woke my Missus up laughing at this. Am I going to hell? 😂 

I didn’t respond, but I think the K-car/Neon suggestion has some merit. Similar time of economic agita and flag-waving jingoism.

Gaudy, gutless gas guzzler, at it’s “performance” prime in the 1980s but is now old and broken down, parked with sagging doors and flat tires in the front yard, longing for the glory days and believing some dipshit with more money than brains will come along and make you great again.

The House is already in R control, the Senate has been or is about to be called for them.  Congressional approval isn’t going to be a problem. 

Assuming there will be elections in 4 years. “You’ll never have to vote again!”

Perhaps Nissan being 16% of Mexico’s total light vehicle production had a small part in them laying off 20% their workforce yesterday?

Anyone slightly darker or less Republican driving around in a stolen car would be in jail immediately.
